Trump's wishful thinking won't stop coronavirus impact

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/02/25/opinions/trump-downplay-coronavirus-ghitis/index.html

 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.

  1. 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.
