This is the #COVID19 model that a lot of people in Washington are focused on. https://t.co/O1XZcFMH17

COVID-19 exploded 89 days ago. Total cases crossed 700,000 today.

How fast it happened?

100,000 – 200,000 = 66 days
…

600,000 – 700,000 = 1 day!

No signs of slowdown on a global scale. Don’t trivialize it.

Germany, thus far, really seems to have their act together. That could of course change. But the fact that they currently have the resources to treat Italian patients is pretty amazing.

And, remember: Germany is likely ahead of the curve b/c of testing. https://t.co/jXJ3d9SeBX

Trump cites a 2.2 million death estimate from coronavirus, then says: "So if we can hold that down, as we're saying, to 100,000, it's a horrible number, maybe even less, but to 100,000, so we have between 100 and 200,000, we all together have done a very good job."

President Trump to Sean Hannity: “A lot of equipment is being asked for that I don’t think they will need.”

My Q: How will that thinking impact how you fill their orders?

Trump: I never said governors wouldn’t need the numbers they were asking for.

Trump's history of hatred towards journalists and the truth is well-established, and his viciousness towards any independent minded woman, especially a woman of color, is also well-documented. Trump supporters refer to this as "He talks the way I do"

The NHS in the UK is unique, but it is also significant that Trump cannot help himself — it has to be about him, new drama. Part of what I think drives very high “wartime” approval of foreign leaders is uniting around a common enemy, where hospitals are the front line. Trump?… pic.twitter.com/kQ5V0tWifA

Nearly a month after Trump stood at the CDC and announced "anyone who needs a test can get a test," an HHS official is in the Rose Garden explaining why we still have to prioritize testing on people in the most need, like those who are hospitalized.

The question was about why Florida has gotten 200% of what they've asked for, while other states have only gotten a fraction.

Trump denies that Florida is getting more than others, and then says that Florida gets more because they're good at being pushy.
