    Classic overselling: the Woodward tapes show that Trump knowingly downplayed how deadly the virus was. They do not in the least show "that this was all preventable." They do not even show that Trump (or anyone in US govt) understood at the time how COVID spread.https://twitter.com/TheJedReport/status/1304811548980854785 …

    Jed @TheJedReport
    The key revelation of the Woodward tapes is that this was all preventable. Trump knew the risks, and did nothing. Yes, he lied, but even worse, he was warned specifically about the COVID risk and failed to protect us. It’s the most damaging act of incompetence in our history.

        Except cases in Europe are once again rising and exceed those in the US. The UK and Spain are locking down again.

        The Woodward tapes actually show Trump was right to regard COVID as a very bad Flu. Where he went wrong was abandoning that tact and giving into the fear mongering. Had he stood his ground, maybe he could have convinced governors not to adopt policies that exacerbated the impact.

        “I play it down,I continue to play it down”Where are people over selling the tapes? Not sure anybody saying all this was preventable.Just despicable that he had such little value for American lives.We needed accurate info to protect ourselves not lies.

        He had enough time to focus on getting our testing infrastructure working and he absolutely failed. He didn’t do a thing to get contact tracing working. If he hadn’t screwed up so spectacularly on those two things we could have avoided the initial surge.

        Sure, find the most exaggerated form of the critique and laugh at it. Meanwhile the serious version of the critique-- that *much* of this could have been prevented-- goes unaddressed. Also the tapes do show that Trump understood that the virus spreads by air, right?

        Understood but chose to do nothing? That is called premeditated murder!

        Probably the worst part of the thing was that it started in PRC, and no one, probably including Xi, can trust any information we get from there, so pretty much everything had to be learned all over again.
