In the three months since President Donald Trump made Dr. Scott Atlas - a radiologist, not an epidemiologist or specialist in infectious diseases - his favorite source of ideas on how to respond to the coronavirus pandemic, the United States has been racked with a record-setting third surge of virus cases, with record daily deaths expected in coming days.
