Who is going to tell him that neither of the world wars were contagious?
Trump pushes a false equivalency: "People went to the polls & voted during World War 1. They went to the polls & voted during World War 2. We can safely go to the polls & vote during Covid-19." (Soldiers during those wars voted by mail.)
