KRUGMAN: On the GOP's Incoherent Pandemic Response
Paul Krugman: “In other words, the GOP has in effect decided to ignore the science at the clear risk of being held accountable in the near future both for killing thousands and for wrecking the economy, because that’s what a premature opening would do.”
“Why take that risk? Partly they may be high on their own supply, no longer able to conceive that there is an objective reality that might be politically inconvenient. Partly, I think it’s because they know in their hearts that they can’t actually do the job of governing.”
