Pandemic.

Pan-(Prefix)

A combining form meaning "all", used in the formation of compound words, particularly those that identify collections of all places in a region, cultures within a group, or religions.

demic(Adjective)

Of or pertaining to a distinct population of people 


So, "pandemic" means "all populations of people."   

Our president is plugging the idea that China intentionally exposed this virus to the rest of the world.  That would be a little like the medieval practice of throwing bodies infected with the bubonic plague over your enemy's city wall.  

Now that 45 is a lame duck president, I'm praying that "all populations of people" will see that the majority of voting Americans do not approve of his rhetoric.
