I don't want to make this a political thing but.....

When can we start calling this the Trumpvirus ?

it certainly would not be inappropriate in my opinion considering he

ignored warnings
withheld test kits
downplayed the seriousness
told people if they have it they should go to work
etc.

it's clearly his doing now.

if someone else was in charge there would be less death resulting from this.

his actions and inactions can be directly traced to an increase in the spread of the virus.

It's his doing.
It's his baby.
It's his virus.

I'm not saying it's all his fault or he created it.

But has made it worse.

It's his virus now.

TRUMPVIRUS.

We've got Obamacare,
and we've got
Trumpvirus.

that's the way I see it.

Coronavirus is too many syllables. And is demeans a great beer. And Covid-19 just sounds too technical.

Trumpvirus.

or either. If anyone here knows their way around twitter they should start one of these. It could become a trending hashtag in no time.
