The Trump administration is determined to remain upbeat in the face of over 200,000 Americans dead from the novel coronavirus.
According to Business Insider, it's diverted over $300 million in funding for the CDC to a COVID-19 ad campaign devised by political appointee Michael Caputo.
Expected to lean heavily on interviews with celebrities and politicians, the campaign's ostensible purpose is to 'defeat despair' over the pandemic.
As Caputo departed amid the fallout of a Facebook Livestream in which he spouted paranoid conspiracy theories, public affairs official Mark Weber has taken over.
Business Insider reports the campaign is being investigated by Democrats, who see it as taxpayer-funded political ads in an election season.
