Two things about where we are:
— Philip Bump (@pbump) June 19, 2020
– that worrisome uptick in cases over the past week or so, and
– that mortality is declining, suggesting a lot of cases that went undetected in April and May. https://t.co/RSR2NylWVc pic.twitter.com/XujYZ0jDNm
The US death toll is now over 117,000 and rising; on April 20, Trump said death toll would reach 50,000-60,000. On Feb. 26, Trump said the cases in US would soon be “close to zero.” Tonight, Trump says the numbers are “minuscule” compare to before and the virus is now “dying out” https://t.co/KQAmshVcXl

REPORTER: Coronavirus cases are rising in 22 states, including Oklahoma, where you plan to hold a big rally this week. Aren't you worried about people getting sick?

TRUMP: No, because if you look, the numbers are very minuscule compared to what it was. It's dying out. pic.twitter.com/xWIOO3ja2c
Sad day: ARIZONA has crossed the rubicon… its epidemic now exceeds Brazil and Peru to be one of the hardest hit regions in the world. Exceeding all European countries as well.
