...In the British embassy, we experienced it daily. Wake up one morning and he has, overnight, banned visitors from seven Muslim-majority countries, causing chaos at airports around the world. Wake up another morning and he has retweeted racist videos by Britain First. Watch a Trump press conference and he says some of those attending a rally of white supremacists and neo-Nazis are “very fine people”; or that a group of Democrat women of colour should “go back” to where they came from.Follow his international activities and he pulls the US out of the Iran nuclear deal and the Paris climate accord, simultaneously endangering European security and imperilling the planet’s future. On the pandemic, he suggests self-injection with bleach. And for light relief, he tries to buy Greenland.And now he’s lost. Some commentators are already attributing this to his mishandling of the pandemic. With almost 240,000 Americans dead, this is certainly important. But memories are short:<snip>
"I'm going to be working for you. I'm not going to have time to go play golf." --Donald J. Trump, August, 2016
As a third wave of COVID-19 sweeps across the United States, the country has reached another devastating milestone: more than 10 million people have tested positive for coronavirus, according to Johns Hopkins University numbers as of 2 p.m. E.T. on Monday. A million cases of the virus have been reported in the last 10 days alone.Americans make up just 4.25% of the global population, but have accounted for nearly [20%] of the 50.4 million cases of coronavirus reported worldwide so far. Since the virus reached the U.S. earlier this year, experts have debated why the country has failed to control its outbreak, with many pointing to the lack of a unified national response. Looking at the trajectory of the data this November, there can remain little doubt that the virus is still spreading rapidly in almost all corners of the U.S., and it shows little sign of slowing down. Over the last 10 days alone, an average of about 102,300 new COVID-19 cases have been reported daily, for a total of about 1 million new cases.
