"On August 14, the coronavirus pandemic was on fire in the US. More than 168,000 Americans had died, with more than 1,300 deaths that day alone. But when President Donald Trump called legendary journalist Bob Woodward, it was to find out one thing: He had recently learned that Woodward's new book "Rage" was done and would be coming out in September, and Trump wanted to find out how he'd be portrayed.

It was their 19th conversation, following 18 interviews that formed a key component of Woodward's book. Trump had privately told Woodward in February he knew critical details about how deadly the virus was, and in March admitted he was playing it down."

Absolutely pathetic. Nearly 200,000 people have died due to this mentality.

"Trump finally asked: "So you think the virus totally supersedes the economy?"

"Oh sure. But they're related, as you know," Woodward responded.

"A little bit, yeah," Trump replied.

"Oh, a little bit?" Woodward asked.

"I mean, more than a little bit. But the economy is doing -- look, we're close to a new stock market record," Trump said."

What exactly is the endgame with Covid?


U ntil there are no cases anymore?

until a vaccine? What if the vaccine isn't 100% effective? What if not everyone can take it? How do public places know who has taken the vaccine or not?


do some want the COVID way of living to be a permanent normal?


is this the end of in person schools, colleges, bars, gyms, movie theaters, audiences at sporting events, concerts etc? Are small businesses screwed?

When did “flattening the curve” turn into “have no infections and deaths” which is likely only possible with permanent, perpetual lockdowns?

Endgame?

How about a pregame as the president never came up with a plan to begin with. And to this day it still does not have one.

The truth has now come out that he knew it was a major threat all along but did everything in his power to diminish it and ignore it..

Promised anyone who wants a test will get a test well that didn't go over it all well.

What are you talking about?

I dont know anyone who wants a test that cant get one.

I had to go inside the pharmacy to pick up a prescription yesterday because they are doing Covid testing in the drive thru window. It was empty........not one single car.

“I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down...“

“Nothing more could have been done.”

“It is what it is.”

“I really don’t care. Do U?”

We are constantly testing. We’re close to 100 million tests. We’re constantly testing people with zero symptoms to add to the case count, yet it’s not enough for some

Seriously? TDS strikes again!
where have you been the past 6 months with this whole pandemic?

Trump trying to look good when he knew all along it was a major threat and chose to do nothing but kept saying anybody who wants a test gets a test.

Then when he realized he couldn't make that happen he decided he would cut back on testing because it wasn't necessary.

This country is suffering a serious case of TDS.

Trumpets! Time for a wake up call and a reality check.

When push comes to shove he's not going to be there to save you and you better protect yourself now before it's too late.

4 years of broken promises it still hasn't set in?

Seriously?

I tell you I can roll up to my local pharmacy and get a test in the drive thru and you tell me Trump hasnt delivered testing?

What is wrong with you?
