Yet what seems to me to be missing from much of the commentary on the Republican carnival of disinformation is an acknowledgment that Trump's worst hour came not during Covid-19's initial surge but weeks later, when he did all he could to push America into a reckless – and maskless – reopening.

Illustration by Nicholas Konrad/The New York Times; photographs by Getty ImagesOn Wednesday, Vice President Mike Pence peddled an extraordinary fantasy about Donald Trump's handling of the coronavirus.

And on Wednesday the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – probably in response to political pressure – made the shockingly irresponsible suggestion that people without Covid-19 symptoms abstain from testing.

Germany, whose response to Covid-19 has been infinitely better than ours, has managed to reopen its schools more or less normally, amid constant testing and quick actions to contain potential outbreaks.

Furthermore, the cost of Trump's fecklessness went beyond the unnecessary loss of life and the long-term health damage that, it seems increasingly likely, will afflict many of those who survived Covid-19.
