He said "recession", not "epidemic". Recessions are unavoidable in the long run and it's more a question of when. Not quite fair to carry this over.
Also not quite fair to use the word "definitely".

Good. I was really worried there for a sec.

"Doing whatever" imho takes it a bit far, but sure that might be somewhat true.
But don't you think Trump does contribute a lot to that too? Not only this whole chloroquine thing, but he also mused about injecting disinfectants, he accused hospital staff around the country to steal masks, he invented alternative numbers, mused about the heat taking care of the virus and other 100% unfounded stuff, he encourages protests against his own measures, goes after liberal governors, lied about being the first to call it a pandemic, also used to use the term "hoax", explained the high infection rates with "good testing", there are numerous examples of gross mismanagement on the federal level, he... well, let's leave it at that for now. Do you dispute these things, do you think they are just totally fine, or don't you have to admit that Trump makes himself look bad time and again as well? Also, is that not objectively more important then what some liberals say?
Please for once address these questions.
