President Donald Trump keeps telling us not to worry, that the fast-spreading COVID-19, the coronavirus, is "going to go away," soon, probably by "April," and that a vaccine is "close." The experts, including federally-employed top scientists, say he's wrong on all these counts. (Please don't fire them!)
Why
is the President lying? Take a guess. Because he thinks the virus, and
fear of contagion, is bad for him. On that count, he's absolutely
correct. Unfortunately, claiming that the virus is not a big problem
does nothing to ease the infection rate or the economic impact that is
sure to span the globe before long.
One thing for sure. The President is doing a lot to protect the country from the virus. And he's trying to minimize unwarranted fear about it.
