Anger towards Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus has deepened after it emerged he ignored warnings three months ago leading America to become the hardest-hit country in the world.
The President was issued with advice by his National Security Council in January to consider shutting down cities and keep people home from work.
The council, which is responsible for tracking pandemics, had received intelligence reports predicting the devastation Covid-19 could cause to the U.S.
once it hit. Officials then provided options to Trump that would prevent the spread of the virus, including shutting down entire cities the size of Chicago.
