Covering A Pandemic

Submitted by ub on

When a pandemic meets a hapless spin doctor, with a disorganized response, the entire world is watching while an extreme leadership void keeps spreading a killer virus.

How could this happen here during an election year in the United States of America?. Facing criticism for his handling of the spread of Coronavirus inside the USA Trump has repeatedly resorted to a familiar reflex: blaming others.

During a prime-time address from the Oval Office, President Trump called coronavirus a foreign virus. Did Trump's comments appear to complicate the issue, instead of helping to solve this COVID-19 Global Pandemic?

Some of the world's top news organizations are sounding the alarm. According to Reuters News Agency, The White House has ordered federal health officials to treat top-level #coronavirus meetings as classified, four Trump administration officials tell @Reuters https://reut.rs/3aNiyfA

While The Atlantic decided to pull no punches. "This crisis is not of Trump’s making. What he is responsible for is his failure to respond promptly, and then his perverse and counterproductive choice of how to respond when action could be avoided no longer," @davidfrum writes: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/03/trump-ensuring-worst-…

Newsrooms are creating contingency plans to make sure that they can adequately inform the public about the novel coronavirus while keeping their own employees safe. https://www.axios.com/newsrooms-preparing-coronavirus-covering-697413c7…

And last, but not least... Just to point out his priorities and where his head is at. "Oh f****" Trump said while his microphone was on before delivering the speech. "Uh oh, I've got a pen mark."
