It's impossible to "knowingly spread" coronavirus. By the way, it's also impossible to knowingly infect someone with HIV. You might want to learn some science somewhere along the way.

Yes he should among other things. He is still going around holding campaign events spreading and won't tell us when his last Negative test was.

He is putting SS and various people who attend his covid events in danger. The whole 5th avenue analogy is happening in front of us.

If you know you have said virus and knowingly infect people without telling them you have it then it is a crime.

Where's the choice for "Yes, and if no honest judge or jury will convict him, he should go to jail for some other reason we'll come up with." ?

Your Democrat participation in the poll will skyrocket if that's available.

It's a good question, and the interesting thing is that back in March, Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen stated that people who intentionally spread the coronavirus could face criminal charges under federal terrorism laws.

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/0...artment-147821

Rosen said prosecutors and investigators could come across cases of “purposeful exposure and infection of others with COVID-19. Because Coronavirus appears to meet the statutory definition of a ‘biological agent’… such acts potentially could implicate the Nation’s terrorism-related statutes.”

Here is Rosen's memo:

You really have to wonder how long Rosen will last if this bit of history gets some traction.

There isn’t an appropriate poll option for one who doesn’t agree that the President “knowingly spread COVID”. Cannot answer.

Because Covid is a new virus that no one seems to know much about such as why some are infected and some are not, why some die and some have no symptoms and just how it spreads or how contagious it is. Anyone of us could unknowingly have passed the virus mask or no mask, gloves or no gloves, etc.

Where as HIV is a sexually transmitted disease that has been widely studied and one knows they have it thus knowingly spreads it.

Did you really need that explained to you.

People die from the annual flu as well, should we prosecute everyone who infects others? We can also transmit hepatitis, measles, gastroenteritis, etc.
