Good for Facebook. Trump is not an expert on viruses, all though he probably thinks he is since he miraculously healed himself, his saying such things is a health and safety issue.

Just another reason why we need to force Facebook to sell / divest itself of Instagram and force the new Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to be split into 2 or 3 companies each. Facebook & Twitter & TikTok is not enough competition. TikTok shouldn’t count because it’s a Chinese owned company.
