According to a whistleblower who has been fired from the Trump administration, his bosses intentionally downplayed the threat of the coronavirus even after he had given them warnings all the way back in January. The whistleblower has filed a complaint, but the  public is also having to deal with the consequences of the administration’s lack of action. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.
