And now he can make the same mistake again.
With 184,000 Americans already dead, White House officials are hoping Trump will plunge into a cultural war following protests and unrest over police brutality, sources told CNN reporters. After the Republican National Convention last week that largely ignored the virus, Trump is making the second premature declaration of victory over the worst public health disaster in 100 years.
“We’ve done a great job in Covid but we’re not getting credit,” Trump told Fox News on Monday.
“Mr. Trump, do you want to talk about fear?” Biden asked Monday.
“Do you know what people in America are afraid of? They’re afraid they’ll get covid. They’re afraid they’ll get sick and die, and that’s not part of it, it’s because of you.”
“We are at risk of being hit. We are one step ahead, three steps ahead,” said former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Tom Frieden told CNN’s Chris Cumo on Monday night.
“This is exactly what happened when the administration opened very soon in the southern states. The schools that are being opened have a lot of cowardice, and slam closed again,” he added. “We don’t want that to happen with vaccines, because vaccines are expensive. They are our most powerful tools in controlling the epidemic.”
Disagreement within the coronavirus task force
Dean of Baylor University’s School of Tropical Medicine. “The number is 2 million, 1 million Americans have died, it’s unacceptable,” Peter Hotez told CNN’s “New Day” on Tuesday.
Sources told CNN that key players around Trump within the administration have given up hope of controlling the virus with aggressive repression and prevention efforts advocated by credible medical experts such as Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Some colleges and small schools have succeeded in quarantine programs with rigorous testing and safe opening. But every day, moving beyond the railways brings more stories of widespread reopening. At least states in colleges and universities. A total of 6,000,000 positive cases of Covid-125 have been reported in the states.
Time is running out before the election
Trump’s demand for a quick opening of the state’s economies earlier this year helped ease the wave of illness and death in the Sunbelt states that survived the initial peaks of infectious disease in New York and California.
But two months before election day, and with the time behind the rocking economic boom he has promised, Trump is ignoring the potential consequences of a quick return to normalcy.
“We’re opening it up and we’re opening up to record numbers,” he said in New Hampshire on Friday night. “Democrats are shutting down their states and hurting people living in those states.”
After months of lockdown and stay on home orders, Americans are eager to get their lives back. And it may be time to balance the risk of becoming infected and living with a series of normalities. But in a weakness of duty, the Trump administration has failed to put in place measures such as a massive testing and tracing program that could make such a goal possible and limit its potential risk.
Trump, instead, focuses on other things.
On Tuesday, the president announced he had spoken to the Big Ten commissioner to try and get his game back, after his season was postponed by the College Ledge Powerhouse Council over coronavirus concerns, including a lack of testing capacity and long-term concerns. The health impact of the disease on athletes. Many other conventions plan to move forward with sports, and Trump claimed the Big Ten would follow suit.
“We’re pushing very hard … I think they want to play, and the fans want to see it, and the players have a lot of stake, probably to play in the NFL,” he told reporters. Told reporters.
The president’s initiative – which does not appear to include new measures to address the issue of season suspension – seems to be another attempt to duplicate science to restore normalcy. While the prospect of Fall Football not coming is unimaginable, Big Ten has to include many schools in crucial Midwest Swing states like Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Wisconsin and Ohio, which could explain the sports-fan-in-chief’s concern.
The push for a college-led football approach is the latest sign of a flaw in Trump’s approach to the virus. The time and re-experience of the US – which can be learned from the rest of the world – is that the virus does not go away. The only way to reopen colleges, businesses, restaurants and travel is to win it.
