he's just pandering to his bronze age Christofascist base.

of how few casess there are that have reached the stage at which it kills people, and of how much longer it takes to recover than to die.

Give it a month - we'll have more recoveries than deaths.

(Not to dispute your basic point, but Trump's ban on the use of fetal tissue has nothing to do with the current relative numbers of deaths to recoveries.)

Trump doesn’t have an ‘abortion obsession’. The man even fucked a porn star without using a condom. Anyone who thinks he hasn’t paid for an abortion (probably more than one) among his myriad of partners over the years is delusional.

His only obsession right now is being re-elected – and he can’t afford to lose his Evangelical base. They’re the ones with an ‘abortion obsession’, and he has to maintain the pretence of holding the same view.

Trump was pro-choice before he ran for the Republican party.

scientists in the rest of the world are working hard on a vaccine, and possibly a cure -- and have ample stock of fetal tissue.

I realize this is a nice talking point, but you folks have to realize that not ALL good research and development comes out of the U.S. Certainly the discovery of insulin that has saved millions of lives didn't.
