The Washington Post published an audio recording from an interview between Bob Woodward and President Donald Trump, where Trump said he knew the coronavirus was “more deadly than strenuous flus” in early February, while telling Americans publicly that it was no worse than a seasonal flu. He said that, “I wanted to always play it down.” Do you think Trump made the right decision or wrong decision to not disclose the severity of the coronavirus to the American public?
