And yet, there is a recording proving Trump was well aware of the grave dangers, even as he told the American people otherwise.Too true on your recollection. That's where my soccer mom recollection came from too. I recall needing to say that POTUS could have/should have/must have know in early February because I had OC soccer Mom's request youth soccer refunds in mid-February because of this corona virus thing. Now, sure I live in a community with several families from Korea as Kia and Hyundai USA HQs are nearby, but still if Korean and Korean-American soccer moms knew then POTUS should have known. Now we know he did know but didn't want to panic us.
You can listen to several excerpts here and I recommend listening to them.

Meanwhile, Tenet, the latest Christopher Nolan movie, has released in theatres and has grossed over $130 million worldwide, but only $20 million domestically. It’s as if many countries all over the world have contained Covid enough to go back to enjoying movies inside of movie theatres, while I am at home watching Bill and Ted Face the Music on Video On-Demand.
I am amazed that POTUS45 had that mislead rather than panic perspective.
I am disappointed that no one in the POTUS45 administration was able to persuade POTUS45 of a different option.
And shocked that even if the no panic option was deemed best POTUS45 and his administration didn't do a lot more behind the scenes in February on PPE supplies, testing, potential pandemic messaging, etc.
Didn't realize the Rest of World is enjoying movies at that rate in their new normal. Those attending movies show the revenue benefits of honest assessments in Q1 2020, but our path is also impacting USA entertainment content creation. Here in late 2020 it is much easier to make new content in New Zealand, Australia, Canada and even Europe than in any part of the USA.
