      Quick virology correction: While it's true that viruses are not sentient, they are neither submicroscopic (can be viewed with an electron microscope) nor a single molecule (viruses are made up of multiple viral proteins, the RNA genome, and the phospholipid envelope).https://twitter.com/davidfrum/status/1246900342853447682 …

      This is embarrassing. Trump is claiming to be smarter than a submicroscopic single molecule? https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1246884203419099137 …

      I can’t resist being pedantic, but I was always taught that submicroscopic refers to not being visible by light microscopy.🤔

          Fair enough, since I couldn't resist being pedantic myself in correcting the original tweet!

          And to be even more insufferable, there are some giant viruses (not coronaviruses, however) that can be observed under a light microscope!

          Not to be pedantic, but radiation along the entire electromagnetic spectrum can be, & often is, referred to as "light." Visible "light" is but a narrow slice.

          Is it pedantic when one of the so-called *scientists* uses pronouns in their bio? Seems a tell to me.

          The important thing here is the Frum was able to take another mindless, cheap shot at POTUS while doing absolutely nothing to help solve this crisis himself @davidfrum is the among the worst of the worst that Washington DC spits out. He's a parasite feeding on partisan politics
