Chump had information the virus was airborne.
Not that he bothered to tell us.
All while he downplayed, continues to downplay, the wearing of a mask. And social distancing.

snip:
So far, research about the coronavirus has shown that its spread through respiratory droplets the tiny particles that float through the air when we cough or sneeze. Those particles are largely thought to fall to the ground within minutes.
Now, though, a group of 239 scientists have sent an open letter to the World Health Organization (WHO) encouraging them to revise their statement about how the virus spreads to include airborne transmission. The scientists say theres evidence that smaller particles can hang in the air for hours, especially indoors, and can be a source of infection for COVID-19.
Bolding is my emphasis in the article.
If I hear Chump's comments right he knew the virus as airborne right from the beginning. Not just respiratory droplets. We didn't have to wait till July to know the virus was not only droplets spread that fall to the ground, but airborne transmission also.
