Thomas Friedman: We need the herd's immunity against Trump and the Coruna virus

American political analyst Thomas Friedman criticized the administration of President Donald Trump for the crisis of the Corona epidemic in the United States, and said that the daily briefing provided by Trump posed a threat to public health.

Friedman - in a New York Times article entitled "We need the herd immunity against Trump and the Corona virus" - that getting America out of the current crisis with minimal loss of lives and minimal damage to the economy requires a president who can direct a science-based debate away from partisanship to lead the country During the ethical, economic and environmental trade-offs he has to make.

He said that Trump, through his policies aimed at sowing the seeds of division and division in American society, and his statements that suggest the use of antiseptics to treat people with the Corona epidemic; not only undermines the immunity of American society against the Corona virus, but also undermines its cognitive immunity, and its ability to distinguish between science and hypocrisy and facts And the fabrication too.

Unfortunately for the Americans, he added, the worst crisis in American history occurred during Trump's presidency.

According to Thomas Friedman, America is doomed to failure unless it is led by a president who can reconcile the need to protect the people from the Corona epidemic and his need to return to work, as well as reconcile the need to protect the environment and achieve economic growth.

He explained that the indications were indicating that an imminent catastrophe was looming on the horizon, but no one wanted to talk about it, and that the Corona epidemic was the logical result of the devastating and growing wars of humankind against nature.

Referring to Trump's neglect of indicators about the virus, Verdmann said that talk about economic prosperity remained one of Trump's favorite topics, as he always stated that the state of the American economy was perfect, until the Coronian epidemic came and destroyed everything.
