The coronavirus pandemic has overwhelmed U.S. society and resulted in a number of deaths and cases. However, these severe circumstances could have easily been prevented if the president had appropriately communicated the virus's threat to the public. To help me discuss the president's inadequate response to the outbreak and its effects on our country, I sat down with fellow student Will. Thank you to all of those who helped out!
