Column: We got unlucky on COVID-19. The wrong man is in charge during a once-in-a-lifetime crisis (via latimesopinion)
President Trump said that determining when to reopen the country would be the most difficult decision he’d ever have to make.
If only such important decisions weren’t in the hands of a president so obviously unprepared and ill-equipped to make them. Not only has he repeatedly shown his disdain for science and scientists, but he is also so focused on business and Wall Street that he is likely to give disproportionate weight to the views of those who want to protect the economy over the views of those who want to save lives. He is averse to complex thinking, famously unable to concentrate on briefing books or details.
It’s probably best to put his daily performances out of your mind. The only thing we should really care about is whether he will get it right. Whether heget it right. Reopening the economy will not be like flicking a light switch. The return to normality will be long and slow, and its success will depend whether people can be confident that it is safe and healthy to be back in the world.
