“It’s going to disappear,” President Trump said about the novel coronavirus at the end of February, before the first American was believed to have died from covid-19. “One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.” It never did — to date, more than 2 million Americans have been infected with the virus and more than 112,000 have died — but Trump’s administration is now acting as though the miracle already came.
In fact, it’s hardly an exaggeration to say that the president and his administration have all but given up fighting the pandemic.
