The coronavirus and the presidential election

Yesterday, Vice-President Mike Pence was put in charge. Today, we understand what President Trump had in mind. His main concern is to control the narrative. The President does not want to hear anything negative about his future handling of the crisis. He knows that sooner or later the epidemic will hit the country and is determined to ensure the official statements coming from his Administration do not challenge his handling of the response. Public health and treatment affordability are key electoral issues.
