President Donald Trump’s strategy for governing has been to focus on manageable situations created by him in international relations and on domestic issues. The coronavirus pandemic, which originated in Wuhan, China, in late December after bats infected humans, is a different kind of challenge. The Washington Post reported on March 20 that U.S. intelligence agencies sounded the alarm as early as January but were ignored. The state of unpreparedness was evident by early February and Trump was still not engaged, except to ban visitors from China and Europe. Congress was debating a $2 trillion “rescue” package to help workers and businesses.As the coronavirus continues to spread, phrases like “quarantine,” “isolation” and “social distancing” are making news.
