"A friend" didn't even know we had 180 countries. Hmm. Sounds like John Barron.

I missed any outside analysis, just looking at some data. Seems like 600 deaths per day, which is an increase from 200-400 each day the week before. Today’s + tests are a touch lower than yesterday but when controlled for by how many tests were administered it doesn’t appear statistically significant. Please give me some good news and tell me what I’m missing.

Looking back to last week I feel like the data is not as complete on Sundays.

Asked about his touting hydroxychloroquine, Trump cites the French data that's been widely questioned. He says, "I want people to live. And I'm seeing people dying. And I see people that are going to die without it. And you know the expression...what, really, do we have to lose?"
Trump wrongly says that we know hydroxychloroquine won't kill people because it's been "out there" for years for other purposes. All together now: that is not how medicine works.

I get it. Trump and our governor are playing nice though, so hopefully we get what we need. My county in particular is in really bad shape.

For the love of all things holy please someone tell him not to do these medical explanations.
330k confirmed cases - when we know testing has been severely limited. 9,500 dead.
When, pray tell, do we as a people hold the officials in charge accountable for knowingly impeding efforts to slow this disease?
Every governor that hasn’t issued restrictions should be impeached. The President who hasn’t issued nationwide restrictions should be impeached. Get the clowns out of there so they can’t continue to hamper efforts to fight this.

Asked why not just let the science speak about whether hydroxychloroquine works, he says, "I want them to try it. And it may work and it may not work. And if it doesn't work...nothing lost by doing it." "It may not work. In which case: hey, it didn't work."

Trump says he is very impressed with the emptiness of New York streets, and the "fantastic job" being done in California and by Gov. Newsom. He says he's proud of a lot of people "on the other side."
Trump says the American people are doing a better job during this period than anyone thought possible.

Deaths are a lagging indicator, but we had a decrease today (as of this mornings state briefing.) New hospitalizations have gone down and discharges have gone up (around 590ish to 1750ish.) Growth rates are going up in suburban counties but slowing down in NYC.
Admittedly I haven’t been studying data as much as some folks here.

Asked if he's considering staying away from Pence just to ensure continuity of government, Trump says, "We have this tiny platform, and I'd love it to be wider." He jokes that he doesn't breathe when he's next to Pence. He notes they've both been tested.
Asked about Pelosi's call for additional money for Americans in a Phase 4 bill, Trump says, "I like the concept of it. I think it's good. We're talking about a different way of doing it, but I like the concept." He says he'd also like an infrastructure bill.

Why doesn’t someone ask him - if the states should have been doing it, shouldn’t you have been too?
If anyone wants to save time and effort, just assume everything Trump says either is incorrect or is a non sequitur.

Trump on why they're sending ventilators to Illinois and building a hospital there: "The governor couldn't do his job, so we had to help him."
Trump: Most of the governors are very happy, but "they'll try to act not so happy" because "it's politics." When I speak to them, he says, they're singing praises.

Wish they would give more accurate information on the 15 minute tests. Seems like a pretty crucial aspect, and the answers we get are pretty vague. Hopefully it’s widely available soon, but I would think if that was the case, they’d tell us exactly when and where we can get them.

Dr Fauci steps to the podium.
"It isn't contradictory to say this is going to be a bad week and there's light at the end of the tunnel. This being a bad week is a reflection of what happened two and one half weeks ago; if we now see a flattening of cases, doesn't take away the fact that this'll be a bad week."

Hint: it might have been when the President was talking.
