—>> The G7 failed to issue a joint statement on the Coronavirus response because the Trump administration insisted on including the phrase “Wuhan virus.”

Smart piece by @YLindaQiu categorizing Trump's coronavirus dishonesty. Her list of main themes: playing down the severity of the pandemic; overstating medical progress and policy promises; inaccurately blaming others; rewriting history. https://t.co/2mFYVvMoSs

Inaccuracies about the stock market. Baffling statements about a closed GM plant. Stating you can call coronavirus the flu. President Trump has continued the false and misleading claims that have become a part of White House briefings on coronavirus. https://t.co/qPzWaTVonF

These are just some of the false claims from today's briefing… https://t.co/wWwba1RePw

— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) March 28, 2020

It's not true that nobody ever thought this crisis could happen. It's not true that the WaPo report on Inslee's comments to Trump was "fake news." It's not true that "everybody" wants businesses reopened rapidly amid the pandemic. https://t.co/DZOp17cfdr

— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) March 27, 2020

Trump wrongly describes tariffs on imported Chinese products, paid by Americans, as China paying "interest."

— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) March 27, 2020

Again, the Trump sections of these briefings are thoroughly dishonest. Can't even keep up today.

Trump could not have become President without unprecedented free media from TV networks in 2015-16. Now the same networks are giving him a daily platform to spread disinformation in a pandemic. https://t.co/LGEaN9ErSA

Trump says he doesn't want to stand here for two hours at these briefings, but "it's important for the public to know." He says "it gives our country confidence." He says, "I'm very transparent."

He's been relentlessly dishonest and inaccurate in these briefings.

Trump: GM and Ford are making ventilators "right now."

AP fact check: GM and Ford are not yet making ventilators. https://t.co/Dlkn4U8fB3

— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) March 23, 2020

He understated the extent of the crisis. He overstated the availability of tests. He falsely blamed Obama. He said he didn't shake hands in India despite many photos of him shaking hands in India.

Trump has been serially dishonest about the coronavirus: https://t.co/93Uu30PVqS

— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) March 22, 2020

He didn’t “misstate the facts”. He lied. It’s called lying. Just say the word.

President Trump is rapidly seeking to rewrite the history of the coronavirus pandemic and his administration's reaction to it, even as its scale continues to escalate rapidly in the US as more and more tests for it are conducted. | Analysis by @CillizzaCNN https://t.co/cmygbmpEuF

— CNN (@CNN) March 20, 2020

This is a really disturbing display from the podium, one in keeping with the president's view of and statements about the press for three years, but taking place during a pandemic. He talks about how poorly he feels he's treated.

We just hit 2000 confirmed US deaths.

It took a month to hit 1000, and then two days for that to double.

The US coronavirus statistics should be coming from the federal government, not the media and universities. At some point, I expect right wing people who downplay the seriousness of the crisis to question the statistics.

There is, incredibly, no government agency publicly tracking all corona cases in the US.

So the NYT is doing it. https://t.co/GBPbosTpvD

I tweet some version of this every day, so here's today's version:

It's still very hard to make overly precise interpretations about where you are on the curve unless you know a lot about tests: how many tests, who's getting tested, how and when results are reported.
