Trump's defenders have argued that he is not to blame for the Covid-19 pandemic. They are right that the disease initially spread from China, though others have pointed out that had he not dismantled the CDC's pandemic response unit, we might not have been where we are today. Whether his tweeting, bombast and false statements affected its spread is hard to say. But he may have been more instrumental in its spread than even he could have imagined.
His interaction with people at CPAC, one of whom was diagnosed with Covid-19, many have exposed him to the virus and he may have become a carrier, infecting those with whom he interacted. Doug Collin's "Self-quarantine" suggests this may be more than a random conspiracy theory. How ironic, then, that the self proclaimed savior from the Corona virus in fact may have been an agent its spread!
