President Donald Trump speaks during a news conference earlier this month about his administration's response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. He said in February that he believed the virus would"miraculously" disappear by April. However, it has killed more than 150,000 Americans. From the beginning, Trump has dismissed the threat of the virus and complained that it made him look bad.didn’t want to add to the total number of reported cases“I don’t need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn’t our fault,” Trump said at the time.
As the numbers of coronavirus-related infections, hospitalizations and deaths across the country have risen, the president has complained about how much testing has been done in the U.S.in May during a tour of a medical supply distribution plant in Allentown, Pennsylvania. “If we didn’t do any testing, we would have very few cases.”Several states reported struggling to administer tests, and some said they’d received little to no help from the federal government.
Yet the U.S. continues to struggle during the pandemic largely due to its inability to conduct widespread testing quickly and efficiently.
