Lancet blasts Trump’s virus ‘disaster’, urges vote for change

The Lancet has become the latest science journal to urge Americans to vote for change in next week’s presidential election, publishing a scathing editorial Friday that described the US pandemic response under Donald Trump as “disastrous”. “With so much loss and still more at stake, the 2020 presidential election is the opportune moment for the American electorate to embrace change for the better,” it said.
