Excerpt From Newsweek:

....Despite the harrowing impacts of COVID-19 felt across the U.S., Trump
has repeatedly approached the outbreak with a nonchalant attitude and
rarely adhered to mitigation guidance issued by officials within his own
administration. He notoriously referred to the pandemic as a "hoax" near
the pandemic's onset last spring, held crowded in-person rallies
throughout his presidential campaign, and did not wear a face mask in
public for several months after the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention initially said doing so likely reduces transmission risks
significantly.

Toward the end of his campaign, Trump confidently joked that news
coverage involving COVID-19 would dissipate after November 3 in remarks
during several election rallies.

"That's all I hear about now. That's all I hear. Turn on television,
'COVID, COVID, COVID, COVID, COVID, COVID,'" he told supporters during
an event in North Carolina in October. "By the way, on November 4, you
won't hear about it anymore."

COVID-19 cases were already beginning to spike across the U.S. when
Trump made those remarks. Reports about the disease picked up during the
month that followed, as the country diagnosed new cases at
record-breaking rates and saw hospitalizations and deaths surge in addition.

Newsweek reached out to the Trump campaign for comments but did not
receive replies in time for publication.

Isn't it great that, as Trump said, ""By the way, on November 4, you
won't hear about it anymore."
