The COVID Diaries – 98 5th July
Donald Trump’s bizarre response to the spread of COVID-19 in the United States continued in a speech he made on 4th July:
“We’ve made a lot of progress. Our strategy is moving along well. It goes out in one area, it rears back its ugly face in another area. But we’ve learned a lot. We’ve learned how to put out the flame.”
The number of infections in the US now regularly tops 50,000 per day, higher than in April when the country was in the first grip of infections. Dr Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious diseases expert, warned this week: “I think it’s pretty obvious that we are not going in the right direction.”
