Vice President Mike Pence, helming a disinformation campaign to convince Americans the threat from Covid-19 has largely passed, is accusing the media of hyping a"second wave" of infections. Unfortunately, the US hasn't even exited the first wave yet -- not least because of the denial and mismanagement that has plagued its response to the virus.
As epicenters like New York and New Jersey emerge from weeks of tragedy, the virus has simply found other targets. Texas, Arizona, and Florida -- Republican-run states that embraced President Donald Trump's demands to reopen -- are now experiencing record rates of new infections. Trump is meanwhile going ahead with an indoor rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday, even though it offers ideal conditions to spread the virus.
