COVID-19 and President Trump's relationship to the truth are just two things that will make the 2020 contest both highly unusual as well as a considerable challenge to analyze in an unemotional, nonpartisan way.

Since 1984, Dr. Tony Fauci has run the NIAID, the $5.9 billion US government agency responsible for "leading research to understand, treat, and prevent infectious diseases." While COVID-19 engulfs us, he has become a talk show darling equally adept at describing the unfolding disaster as he is at evading responsibility for its spread.
