1. It's deja-vu all over again...

3. The free spot at the center of every Turd Reich do-over BINGO card...

Has always been Pandemic.

4. Compare his "mental stability" in his first term, during COVID, to his "mental stability' now

If we end up in another pandemic, he'll have Bobby Brainworm recommend tea brewed from roadkill and old sweat socks.

We lost 400,000 Americans on Trump's COVID watch.

I don't even want to THINK about a pandemic during Trump II.

5. Recent stats show 1.2 million Americans died

…of Covid.

Hantavirus is much more lethal than Covid was.

Somehow you just know Trump will blame hantavirus on Biden or Obama.

6. Fatality rate Between 10 and 20X the fatality rate of COVID-19 for Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome

EDIT

The main features of illness are microvascular leakage and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Symptoms occur anywhere from one to eight weeks after exposure to the virus and come in three distinct phases. First, there is an early phase with flu-like symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, headache, and shortness of breath, as well as low platelet count. Second, there is a cardiopulmonary phase during which people experience elevated or irregular heart rate, cardiogenic shock, and pulmonary capillary leakage, which can lead to respiratory failure, low blood pressure, and buildup of fluid in the lungs and chest cavity. The final phase is recovery, which typically takes months, but difficulties with breathing can persist for up to two years. The disease has a case fatality rate of 30 to 60 percent. Death usually occurs suddenly during the cardiopulmonary phase.
