It is easy to forget in the midst of this current coronavirus pandemic that throughout history all sorts of pathogens inhabit our world. We live with most of them without harm for the most part.

And flu isn’t the only other virus out there. Even common cold viruses could prove serious in combination with the coronavirus.

You know what they had in common? They were all Trumps fault. Ha, ha.
No one is saying that this current extremely serious global pandemic is Trump’s fault.
But his response has been reckless, incompetent, incoherent and full of ineptitude in almost every regard, and he just can’t stop lying about it.
