3. I wonder

1) I wonder what you mean by "taking care of this one" ?

and

2) could it be as simple as: hantavirus has a known history in this country and Korea, especially, and Trump might have heard of it, or his advisors told him this one was real, and deadly.

vs.

The Covid-19 virus seemed to come out of nowhere, or Wuhan, China, and Trump's suspicious nature assumed it was caused by people who do not like Trump, so he discounted the reality of the virus. He can't do that with the hantavirus.

But, oops, over a million Americans died from Covid. At least 7 million certifiable deaths worldwide.
