… and welcome to another day of coronavirus coverage in the United States. Politics in a minute: the president is on his feet and tweeting, but first as always Johns Hopkins University figures:
- US cases USA: 1,347,765
- American deaths: 80,679
- New York Cases: 337,055
- Deaths in New York: 26,988
I have pointed to New York as the most affected state, but it is less and less affected. Governor Andrew Cuomo she said yesterday, describing reopening plans for some regions, as Lauren Gambino reports here.
There is also news this morning. As states try to reopen their administration-driven economies, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the public health expert who is isolated after an outbreak of cases at the White House, will testify before the Senate today, remotely, of course, and before senators in masks, sitting six feet away.
Fauci He has told the New York Times: “The main message I want to convey … is The danger of trying to open the country prematurely. If we omit the checkpoints in the guidelines … then we risk multiple outbreaks across the country. This will not only result in unnecessary suffering and deathbut it would actually push us back in our quest to get back to normal. “
Trump is not going to like that, but it is always good to highlight some non-Trump work before coming to him, so here is Tom McCarthy on the run for a vaccine … and how Trump’s approach “America First “it is holding back the global effort.
Try again: Richard Luscombe on the threat to Florida Greyhounds. And Sam Levin, from Los Angeles, for a shocking death case in the U.S. immigration system:
And then to Triumph.
He is tweeting this morning on familiar issues: “Obamagate” (here’s David Smith’s explainer), how Bill Maher “sucks” and how NBC host Chuck Todd “fails again”, and something about strong borders and “182 miles of border wall already built. ” (That’s the wall he said Mexico would pay for, and, to put it simply, it’s not being built along the entire border, spanning nearly 2,000 miles.)
Two key tweets for now: replying to conservative columnist John Solomon, he on the Ukraine issue, noting that Nancy Pelosi it would be the third in the line of the presidency if Trump and Pence fall before Covid-19: “Then we must be very careful. Crazy Nancy would be a total disaster, and the United States will never be a communist country! – and calling the reporters to whom Trump responded in a Rose Garden press article out of “Fake Journalists!”
Those were the salient lines of a chaotic Monday in Washington: After a series of cases and with the best isolated experts, the White House has instituted new rules that include wearing masks, But that does not apply to Trump.
And the press conference: a new low point in Trump’s use of such occasions to intimidate, intimidate, distort or break the truth and attract accusations of racism, or if he supports it, another successful battle with a perfidious enemy.
It’s an election year, and some reports have Trump worried about his polls and considering changes to the campaign, so it will only get hotter from here.
