Donald Trump, Bandaríkjaforseti velti fyrir sér ýmsu um heimsfaraldur COVID-19 á viðburði í Arizona í gær, þriðjudag. Meðal þess sem vafðist fyrir forsetanum var nafn faraldursins.

„COVID-19, COVID, hvað þýðir talan 19?“ spurði hann á viðburðinum og hélt áfram.

„COVID-19, sumir geta ekki útskýrt töluna 19.“

Raunar er fyrir löngu búið að útskýra töluna 19 en hún stendur fyrir ártalið 2019, árið sem fyrsta tilfelli af COVID-19 var greint.

Þessar vangaveltur forsetans hafa vakið upp mikil viðbrögð á Twitter og hefur hann fengið öll möguleg og ómöguleg svör við þessari spurningu frá almenningi.

I liked 2001: A Space Oddysey, but I think I should have watched the first 2000 to get the full context.

And the first 22 skidoos? Why don't we hear more about them? And where the hell are the first 98 luft balloons?

President* Trump cannot remember the year the 1918 Flu Pandemic happened, so it makes sense that he has no clue that the 19 in #COVID19 is for 2019.

President* Trump’s aggressive ignorance is causing more American #COVID19 deaths, and Republican Senators refuse to remove him.
