Why? Other than political points.... why?
That's exactly why. If you're saying it's just done to score political points, he could have scored those political points early on.
Instead, he minimized the seriousness of the virus, got infected with the virus, and NOW decides to wear a mask, making his previous stances look ridiculous.
He minimized the seriousness of the virus...... because it wasn't serious. Covid-19 isn't serious.
Trump was right. The CDC proved that.
Did you miss the numbers put out by the CDC? I'll post them again.

In the absolute worst case scenario, with the highest risk age group of 70+.... the maximum recorded fatality rate was 0.093.
Influenza in comparison is 0.1.
So you are trying to tell me that Covid-19 is so serious we have to have lock downs, and ban gatherings, and have people in masks..... for a fatality rate for the worst possible cases, in the highest risk age group..... of 0.093...... when the flu has an OVER ALL fatality rate of 0.1?
By that logic, we should have shut down the country for the last 200 years, over the flu.
Because if you look at the average fatality rate of all scenarios for all age groups... it's way way way lower than the flu.
Trump was dead on right. He right about the whole thing. That is not opinion... that's fact based on the evidence we have.
You want to argue that it's not serious when it landed his ass in the hospital? Good luck with that. He's going to have a REALLY hard time adjusting his covid messaging from here on.
- Tell us more about how covid isn't serious even though you were hospitalized over it.
- Tell us more about hydroxy even though you didn't actually take it when you were hospitalized.
- Tell us more about how covid is under control even though you and several members of your administration have gotten infected with it.
- Tell us more about how masks aren't important even though you are now wearing your mask.
Those political points are gone.
The flu routinely sends people to the hospitals every single year. If merely having someone sent to the hospital, means it is a serious illness that justifies shutting down the country.....

The viruses associated most frequently with the "common cold" are rhinoviruses and coronaviruses. The first prospective cohort study to determine the prevalence of rhinovirus and coronavirus infections in patients of all ages hospitalized for acute respiratory illnesses is described.
Thousands of people every single year, end up in the hospital with common cold virus infections. Thousands. People die from the common cold every year.
The condition is usually mild, but can be serious for some people.

Common colds kill people.
Now two things I'd like to point out.... That first article was from 2000, and the second was from January 1st.
Both articles were written before Covid-19 existed.
So why is an article from 2000, talking about Corona virus? Because Corona viruses have been part of the common cold group for hundreds of years.
Corona has been killing people for hundreds of years. Just because we have a new variation, doesn't change the fact it is a common cold.
Back to the point. If you are going to tell me that Covid-19 is so serious, simply because someone want to the hospital for it..... then we should have shut down the entire planet for the last 200+ years, because common colds have been hospitalizing people for as long as the common cold has been around.
Again.... it's not serious. Facts over opinion.
