It no longer seems possible to get the truth from Donald Trump or this White House. Reporters hopelessly attempt to get information at his scheduled briefings and are abruptly turned aside. He interrupts them before their question or during their question, or else he will attack their motives for asking the question. It is impossible to get a straight answer. The lies and deception only seem to grow stronger.
There is no consensus on anything. Is the novel coronavirus a hoax or not? Trump supporters are looking to him for the truth. They get nothing but confusion and they interpret it to their political will.
The nation is stuck in the middle of this purgatory where the truth cannot be uncovered. It is there but it is just beaten down.
Meanwhile, people continue to die. The morgues are full. (They are now using refrigerator trucks) The hospitals and doctors cannot keep up with the sick and dying.
Still, they search for the truth.
