On January 30 -- what seems like a lifetime ago -- the World Health Organization declared that COVID-19 was a world-wide pandemic. On that same fateful date, the Unit- ed States’ Centers for Disease Control issued a press re- lease that stated as follows: “The Centers for Disease Con- trol and Prevention (CDC) today confirmed that the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) has spread between two people in the United States, representing the first instance of person-to-person spread with this new virus here.” One month later, on February 29, after the first con- firmed coronavirus death in this country, President Donald J. Trump said as follows: “We’ve taken the most aggressive actions to confront the coronavirus. They are the most aggressive taken by any country and we’re the number one travel destination anywhere in the world, yet we have far fewer cases of the disease than even countries with much less travel or a much smaller population.” Given Trump’s reassuring statement, who among us could have imagined that five months later, the United States would rank as the nation that has been the most-rav- aged by the virus? With more than 160,000 of our fellow Americans victims of the virus -- and increasing by 1000 per day -- we have recorded 25 percent of the world’s deaths, though we have just four percent of the world’s population. And our five million confirmed cases -- an -in crease of one million in the past 17 days alone -- account LETTER to the Editor for almost one-quarter of cases world-wide.
