Först när WHO bestämde att det rörde sig om en pandemi stoppade Trump inresorna från Europa. Då hade cirka två miljoner kommit in i landet. Så det att han stängde Kina var bra men det hela gav inte så stor effekt då så många kom in från andra länder där smittan var så stor.
Och ändå vid den här tiden, så ljög Trump om viruset. Folk förstod inte att skydda sig, många i dag förstår inte att skydda sig för de vill tro på Trumps lögner. Och det förstår jag att folk vill. Det är en jävlig sjukdom som viruset är upphov till. Men blunda för fakta hjälper inte. Lägg fakta på bordet, Mr President!!
