As of writing, the US leads in the entire world in total number of positive cases of COVID-19 with a total of 7.2 million and 207,000+ deaths so far since the virus hit the country back in March. A lot of people have been criticizing Trump for the way the US government has responded to the global pandemic and how his stand on COVID-19 seems rather foolish. Donald Trump and his supporters have somehow made this pandemic a partisan issue rather than a medical crisis. POTUS has also been seen not donning a mask in public which a lot of his supporters have also chosen to do which explains McCollum's mask jab.

With Trump testing positive, hopefully, more people take this whole issue seriously and practice the necessary protocol to mitigate the spread of the virus. Do we need further proof that the virus is real?
