Much ink has been spilled to more than amply demonstrate that, when it came to the threat of the novel coronavirus, the Trump administration ignored its own intelligence, its own CDC, and the urgent warnings of the medical community, from as early as January and well into February of this year. New York University professor Ryan Goodman and NYU student Danielle Schulkin conclude, in an op-ed in the The New York Times, that the administration’s actions went well beyond mere “negligence” and trying to “wish” the pandemic away. Rather, for a five-day period in late February and early March, Donald Trump and his team of “very best people” engaged in a deliberate and malicious cover-up of the seriousness of COVID-19—for the sole purpose of intentionally misleading the American people.
