Trump To Disband The Coronavirus Task Force In One Month

Mike Pence confirmed that President Donald Trump would be disbanding the White House Coronavirus Task Force as the death toll is projected to double.

According to The Washington Post:

Vice President Pence told reporters today that the coronavirus task force created to manage the federal government’s response to the pandemic could be disbanded within a month because “of the tremendous progress we’ve made as a country.”

Pence’s statement comes on the heels of Trump stating that he is not worried about the projected doubling of coronavirus deaths in the country because he believes that it is a “no-win” situation, and that people will die from something anyway, so they should go back to work.

The Trump strategy is now going to be to pretend like the coronavirus has been defeated and no longer exists, even as it is projected that 3,000 Americans will die each day by June 1.
