Harris in a tweet wrote, “When Trump was saying young people couldn’t get coronavirus, he knew they could. When Trump was saying it was the same as the flu, he knew it was deadlier. When Trump was purposely downplaying the severity, he knew it passed through the air. He knew.”

Veteran journalist and Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward released the book ‘Rage’ where he wrote that on February 7, Trump had called the coronavirus ‘deadly stuff’. He also told the journalist that he was aware of the contagious nature of the coronavirus.

Trump revealed to Woodward that he downplayed the threat to Covid-19 to not throw Americans into panic.

Kamala Harris, former senator from California, will go head-to-head against Mike Pence for the post of the vice president on November 3 in the upcoming presidential elections.
