President Trump’s lack of leadership and inability to concern himself with anyone or anything other than himself will jeopardize an acceptable outcome to the coronavirus (Trump) pandemic.
The virus that Trump said would miraculously disappear in early April has made the United States the leader of most cases and deaths. We’ve all heard the president brag about winning.
The United States has more than 1.2 million confirmed COVID-19 cases and over 74,000 deaths. The United States exceeded the case and death counts of Spain, Italy, the UK and China.
This is not a distinction any nation wants to claim.
The Trump administration’s lack of a comprehensive plan, misleading the public and sending mixed messages to the American people will only hinder efforts to transition to a “new normal” life.
Moving forward too fast without adequate testing or continued safe distancing will result in
An increase of new cases and deaths in the not too distant future.
One can only hope state and local governments will listen to the experts and science to manage this transition in spite of the Trump administration’s actions.
