COVID has killed more than 220,000 Americans & infected more than 8 million in the past 10 months. Since day 1, Trump has downplayed both the seriousness & science of it. That's neither new or refutable since he said as much to Bob Woodward on tape. Multiple times. #velshi

While there are moments in which Trump grudgingly acknowledges the severity of it all, saying things like “even ONE death is too many,” his consistent message to Americans has been socially-distant from reality, from science & from good public health. #velshi

Trump said the virus would disappear when warmer weather arrives & that portions of the population are “virtually immune.” If words don’t capture his recklessness, then remember his actions after leaving Walter Reed: shedding his mask & resuming in-person events. #velshi

Everything science said would happen, happened. Months ago, the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics & Evaluation (I.H.M.E.) projected 208,000+ people would be dead from COVID by Nov. This was the “gold standard” forecast even the White House used. #velshi

Now the virus is resurgent worldwide, even in places that followed the science & did observe proper public health protocols. Scientists warned COVID would make a comeback with the colder weather & be exacerbated by flu season. #velshi

Despite the scientific forecasts, we’re again being led into a viral wave by President Super Spreader, who STILL has no national plan. He continues to lie about a vaccine: we WON’T have one by early November or by Election Day or even by the end of the year. #velshi

Why would we expect honest answers on a vaccine if we couldn't get straight answers about Trump's own treatment or when he actually last tested negative for coronavirus before getting it himself? #velshi

If we continue to do this wrong, thousands more will die as cities reopen only to shut down again & the economy restarts & stops. Or YOU can make a decision—with your vote—in favor of a plan run by experts who respect medicine & follow science. #velshi

It may take several months to get a vaccine that is tested properly to be safe & effective, then several more before everyone gets it. But you now have a role in deciding how this plays out. #velshi

Coronavirus won't just disappear, one day, like a miracle. That was a lie when Trump first uttered it on February 27th. We actually have to fight it. The first step in that fight comes November 3rd. #velshi
