New England Journal of Medicine editorial takes aim at Trump administration: “This election gives us the power to render judgment”
“Anyone else who recklessly squandered lives and money in this way would be suffering legal consequences,” the editorial added. “Our leaders have largely claimed immunity for their actions. But this election gives us the power to render judgment.”
The editorial notes that, while some deaths in the U.S. were inevitable, tens of thousands could have been saved with a better response.
Meanwhile, President Trump is claiming personal victory over the virus, saying he feels great as he presumably continues to still be shedding the virus. The president said it was a “blessing from God” that he contracted COVID-19, so he can encourage greater access for the experimental drugs he used.
