He actively promoted the spread hoping it would kill enough of his opponents that hos stealing the election might be easier than he expected. It wasn't just him, it was every one of his disciples jockeying for position in his favor who plotted along with him. They intended for hundreds of thousands to die.

They dismantled the response team, confiscated and sold PPE and ventilators, tried to keep people from getting tested, promoted opposition to safety protocols... need I go on?
