More Americans died yesterday than in our 19 year war in Afghanistan.
More Americans died yesterday of the Coronavirus than died in the terrorist attacks on September 11th. More Americans died of the Coronavirus yesterday than died in the entire Iraq War.
One week ago, the US COVID19 death toll was 15,000. In the last 7 days, more than 20,000 Americans have died.
It barely registered with Trump. Instead he's claiming anything under 100,000 is a victory and tweeting we need to "liberate" the states.

The Democratic Senators were asking what the administration was planning to ramp up testing, VP Pence reportedly dodged the question repeatedly but here’s the take our President has about the call...
Smh..

Isn't good public health policy but is likely good politics for the president.

The Trump administration promised that by March 28th – nearly a month ago – there would be over 27 million coronavirus tests conducted in the U.S. It’s April 21st and we haven’t reached 5 million.
45,000 deaths. 820,000 cases, and he's tweeting about his ratings.

"Trump prepares to hit the road" www.politico.com/news/2020/04/22/trump-rally-coronavirus-200107"I hope we can do rallies. It’s great for the country. It’s great spirit. For me, it’s a tremendous way of getting the word out. We win where we have rallies,” Trump said at a task force briefing last Friday." If Fox says he should do rallies, he'll do them.

Instead, the simplest explanation for Trump’s decision to halt some legal immigration to the U.S. is that it aligns with his long-held ideological beliefs, and the electoral strategies and policy choices that spring out of those. Since well before the coronavirus outbreak, Trump has practiced an identity politics where he often uses people of color and immigrants as foils. Since well before the coronavirus, one of Trump’s core policy ideas was limiting immigration however possible. And Trump has campaigned on being tough on immigration since he entered the Republican presidential primary in 2015. fivethirtyeight.com/features/trumps-latest-attempt-to-limit-immigration-isnt-really-about-the-coronavirus/

www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/hidden-outbreaks-spread-through-us-cities-far-earlier-than-americans-knew-estimates-say/ar-BB1354ax?li=BBnbcA1By the time New York City confirmed its first case of the coronavirus on March 1, thousands of infections were already silently spreading through the city, a hidden explosion of a disease that many still viewed as a remote threat as the city awaited the first signs of spring. Hidden outbreaks were also spreading almost completely undetected in Boston, San Francisco, Chicago and Seattle, long before testing showed that each city had a major problem, according to a model of the spread of the disease by researchers at Northeastern University who shared their results with The New York Times. Even in early February — while the world focused on China — the virus was not only likely to be spreading in multiple American cities, but also seeding blooms of infection elsewhere in the United States, the researchers found. As political leaders grappled in February with the question of whether the outbreak would become serious enough to order measures like school closures and remote work, little or no systematic testing for the virus was taking place. ... In mid-February, a month before New York City schools were closed, New York City and San Francisco already had more than 600 people with unidentified infections, and Seattle, Chicago and Boston already had more than 100 people, the findings estimate. By March 1, as New York confirmed its first case, the numbers there may already have surpassed 10,000. From these primary travel hubs and a few other cities, the model shows, the disease was then spread to other locations in the United States. Dr. Vespignani said he and his research team warned officials of the silent spread, posting some of their early projections in mid-February. “We were talking to officials here, and it was the same reaction we got in Italy, in the U.K., in Spain,” Dr. Vespignani said. “They told me, ‘OK, that’s happening on your computer, not in reality.’ Look,” he added, “No one’s going to shut down a country based on a model.” The virus moved under the radar swiftly in February and March, doctors and researchers said, because few cities or states had adequate surveillance systems in place. And testing, if it was being done at all, was haphazard. Emergency rooms were busy preparing for the predicted onslaught and likely missed some of early virus-related deaths, and didn’t have time or tools to verify infections on the fly, experts said. It was mid-March before teams at N.Y.U. and Mount Sinai began taking samples for testing in New York."
