I guess so. I stupidly thought this would bump Covid right up to the primary electoral issue, that this would be proof that Trump’s Covid response was a failure, and that he is not healthy to be president. I’m an idiot

That he got Wuhan is entirely Xi Jinping’s fault. While Wuhan isn’t quite as bad as Ebola, it’s a lot more infectious. The thing about stuff like this is if the Democrats push this, they will lose in a landslide. As it is they have already lost the election. People in the middle who mildly disliked him will stay home or vote for him. People who support him somewhat but thought voting is a waste of time will show up at the polls just to register their sympathy. And rabid right-wingers who occasionally find other ways to occupy their time on election day will *all* show up at the polls. That will make a huge difference in close races up and down the ballot.

After Reagan got shot, he won 49 states, despite having presided over the deepest recession since the Great Depression, a recession the country was just getting out of at the time of the election. That’s why the people at Democratic Underground are freaking out. Joe Biden’s campaign is in deep shit.
