Pence: Thanks to Americans' efforts, "We are slowing the spread. We are protecting the most vulnerable...The day will soon come where we will heal our land." — PolitiTweet.org

Pence says they'll be able to increase testing "dramatically in the weeks ahead." He touts efforts by governors, which they outlined to him today, to expand testing. — PolitiTweet.org

.@camanpour's interview with the German health minister was very interesting. He emphasized that testing and tracing were key to their success. https://t.co/wrdbhglekw https://t.co/S6B915flus — PolitiTweet.org

FDA chief Hahn: There are no approved therapeutics for COVID-19, but we're leaving no stone unturned; more than 70 trials underway under FDA supervision. — PolitiTweet.org

“We have 10,000 empty ICU beds here in Germany," German Health Minister Jens Spahn told CNN's Christiane Amanpour in an interview that aired April 16 about Germany's successes against the virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump says he's agreeing to send ventilators to other countries, such as Mexico, Indonesia, France -- and he'll do it for Germany if they need it. They haven't needed it. They've been donating to other European countries and taking in patients from abroad to be ventilated. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump lists announcements from governors who've taken steps toward lifting restrictions. He says, "We're opening our country. It's very exciting to see. We have a lot of talent involved. From governors to people who just stand there and help you with the doors." ? — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump begins by asserting "evidence that our aggressive strategy is working -- working at a very high level." He says the percentage of tests that have come back positive has declined significantly. — PolitiTweet.org

This president is willing to lie even about things we just saw him do on camera. https://t.co/Zgp0AriJrl — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

The president lies that he was being sarcastic and directing his question to reporters when he seriously asked medical officials to look into the possibility of people injecting disinfectant as a coronavirus treatment. Real, non-imaginary fact check: https://t.co/Zgp0AriJrl — PolitiTweet.org

Trump to reporter: "You know the way it was asked. I was looking at you." Reporter: I wasn't there. Trump: "I know." Reporter: You were looking at Dr. Birx. Trump: "What's that?" Reporter: You were looking at Dr. Birx. Trump: I was looking at her, Bryan, and reporters. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump: "We will make the energy business great again." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Told he was, in fact, asking experts to look into injecting disinfectants, Trump says, "No. No no no no. To look into whether or not sun and disinfectant on the hands - but whether or not sun can help us." In fact, he asked them to look into injecting disinfectant too. https://t.co/1R42lApWYY — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump then mentions disinfectants that can be rubbed on the hands. Then adds he asked "a very sarcastic question to the reporters in the room about disinfectant on the inside." Again, a lie. https://t.co/BitrbWWRuG — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Asked about his comments about injecting disinfectant, Trump says, "I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters like you, just to see what would happen." That's just a lie. Here's the transcript. https://t.co/uLx0KnPTZ6 — PolitiTweet.org

Pressed on Rick Bright, Trump again tells a female reporter, "Easy. Easy. Just take it nice and easy." He says "at some point" he will look into the circumstances of Bright's ouster from his post. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Asked about Rick Bright, Trump again says "I don't know the gentleman." He then adds, "How do you sign a whistleblower complaint when everybody knows who he is? I know nothing about him." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Asked if he takes any responsibility for the 50,000 Americans dead in the pandemic, Trump says, "I think we've done a great job. As you know, minimal numbers were - minimal numbers were - going to be 100,000 people." — PolitiTweet.org

There is constant deception from this White House, but I give the benefit of the doubt to the transcript people. I read all of the transcripts, and they're almost always error-free even when Trump has said something embarrassing. https://t.co/UV2yTt8tDO — PolitiTweet.org

@jtoddstuart Yes, that's a hallmark of these "we can't believe the president forced us to do this" statements! — PolitiTweet.org

Some people kept claiming an Emergency Use Authorization = FDA "approved." No. FDA today: "The EUA was based upon limited evidence that the medicines may provide benefit, and for this reason, we authorized their use only in hospitalized patients under careful heart monitoring." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Recall that the president repeatedly claimed, falsely, that the FDA had "approved" hydroxychloroquine for the coronavirus -- and repeatedly claimed, falsely, that we know it's safe because it's been used for other purposes. https://t.co/ZLKRrA4NIy — PolitiTweet.org
