Prominent among these is about how Donald Trump "did not push to do aggressive additional testing in recent weeks, and that's partly because more testing might have led to more cases being discovered of coronavirus outbreak, and the President had made clear — the lower the numbers on coronavirus, the better for the President, the better for his potential re-election this fall."
It's appalling but typical behavior from Trump. Too fucking bad if there's real harm to the public, because as long as its good for Trump, that's all that matters to him.
The piece also touches on what remains the greatest mystery involving the administration and coronavirus — why did Trump reject use of the German-developed World Health Organization test kit for coronavirus (details here)? Testing is still almost nonexistent because the American-developed test kit is still plagued by problems and delays.
Was it incompetence or something darker? Hopefully the House of Representatives will dig into the reasons why and soon.
