How Trumpian to think that just because he didn’t know it, it was news to everyone else.

Most viral infections can be spread by people without, or before they exhibit, symptoms.
This isn't unique to CV19!
What a dolt!

Any national leader with half a brain would have insisted ALL governors were thoroughly briefed on all aspects of this disease months ago.

Instead, almost the entire GOP political class let their "business as usual" and "let the markets take care of everything" mentality run the show from the beginning.

Hell, I'm just a dumb-ass retired out-of-date old fart from the South that knew COVID-19 is contagious prior to the infected showing symptoms since back in February. It was all over the news.

As we've known for many years, Republicans simply cannot and will not govern AND will not listen to any information from outside their right-wing bubble.
