No, but he has consistently mocked mask usage and called into
question the value of mask and has created a huge political divide over masks during a pandemic for God's sake. He encouraged his supporters to fight against local covid containment efforts with his tweets. Instead of encouraging everyone to act responsibility and do their part to reduce the spread and allow the country to return somewhat to normal, he has created a huge political divide on Covid.
He has also downplayed the seriousness of covid and the need to maintain social distancing and has instead held super spreader events himself.
There has been ZERO federal leadership and coordination on the testing front. This is criminal negligence. 9 months into the pandemic now, we still don't have good, real time testing infrastructure. There are home based saliva tests that give accurate indication of whether a person is contagious or not. Why is the federal government not working to manufacture and distribute these tests in the billions so that every citizen can test themselves for contagiousness several times per week and self quarantine if contagious. We could literally return to almost normal if we had that infrastructure in place. But instead our strategy at the federal level is to hope it magically disappears.
