The entities that should (and will) be <em>&#8220;forever remembered for worsening the pandemic&#8221;<\/em> begin first and foremost with Donald Trump himself. He spent months downplaying the gravity of the coronavirus as nothing more than the common flu. Even though <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=46642\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">he knew that it was far more deadly<\/a><\/strong>. He was recording saying so in the book, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/338sP3U\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">RAGE, by Bob Woodward<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Trump called Woodward and revealed that he thought the situation was far more dire than what he had been saying publicly. &#8216;You just breathe the air and that\u2019s how it\u2019s passed,&#8217; Trump said in a Feb. 7 call. &#8216;And so that\u2019s a very tricky one. That\u2019s a very delicate one. It\u2019s also more deadly than even your strenuous flu.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At that time, Trump was telling the nation that the virus was no worse than a seasonal flu, predicting it would soon disappear, and insisting that the U.S. government had it totally under control.&#8221; [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Trump admitted to Woodward on March 19 that he deliberately minimized the danger. &#8216;I wanted to always play it down,&#8217; the president said.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In addition to Trump, the other entities that will be most remembered for worsening the pandemic are Fox News, that fervently backed up Trump&#8217;s lies, and the Republican Party that McDaniel heads. Naturally McDaniel is feigning outrage for allegations that she can&#8217;t even support with actual evidence. It&#8217;s just another lame and futile attempt project blame for their own failures unto others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter recently suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
