The enormous tragedy of all this: This is the worst crisis facing Earth since World War Two and Trump is the American President!
To be the center of attention, Trump consistently sacrifices his self-respect and makes a complete fool of himself. He suggested that injections of disinfectant might kill the virus. As late as March 24 he wanted to open the country up for business by Easter weekend. Lately, he has said he knows that the coronavirus came from Chinese lab in Wuhan.
He has been making the case that the coronavirus originated not in nature but in a lab in Wuhan, China. He said late last week that he had a "high degree of confidence" that was what happened (although he didn't specify why he felt that way) and on Sunday he cryptically told Fox "something happened."
Enter Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease and perhaps the single most prominent doctor in the world at the moment. In an interview with National Geographic posted on Monday night, Fauci was definitive about the origins of the virus which has sickened more than a million Americans and killed more than 68,000:
"If you look at the evolution of the virus in bats and what's out there now, [the scientific evidence] is very, very strongly leaning toward this could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated ... Everything about the stepwise evolution over time strongly indicates that [this virus] evolved in nature and then jumped species."
Now, before we play the game of "he said, he said" remember this: Only one of these two people is a world-renowned infectious disease expert. And it's not Donald Trump.
