At a time when the novel Coronavirus is tearing across the United States at an alarming pace, President Donald Trump has publicly disengaged from the battle against the deadly disease. Aides say the president has shown little interest in the growing crisis even as new confirmed cases are skyrocketing and hospital intensive care units in parts of the country are nearing capacity.
Public health experts worry that Trump's refusal to take aggressive action on the pandemic or to coordinate with the Biden team during the final two months of his presidency will only worsen the effects of the virus and hinder the nation's ability to swiftly distribute a vaccine next year. But Trump remains preoccupied with last week's election results.
