(The CDC estimate of 12,469 H1N1 deaths was for a full year; we’re under three months since the first US coronavirus case. The H1N1 figures is an after-the-fact estimate, not an attempt to count every case in real time like we’re seeing now.) — PolitiTweet.org

The number of US coronavirus deaths, per Johns Hopkins, has now exceeded the “17,000” number Trump has used in claiming Obama’s response to H1N1 was a “debacle.” (Flawed way to measure response quality, and the primary CDC estimate for H1N1 is actually 12,469, but nonetheless.) https://t.co/6m51w69qyk — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s Trump’s public schedule for tomorrow. (Public schedules don’t include all of a president’s activities.) https://t.co/ReEbA5gKiy — PolitiTweet.org

@Neo_Cortex_PhD For sure. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump talks as if he can himself flip an on/off switch, and a lot of the coverage implicitly accepts the premise. But “reopening” is up to thousands of entities the president isn’t in charge of. — PolitiTweet.org

CNN broadcast portions of the briefing conducted by VP Pence and by the health experts. — PolitiTweet.org

Birx earlier: “The original outbreaks were very large, but the newer ones...in Washington and Philadelphia and Baltimore, it looks like their attack rates - and attack rates in Denver and some of these other states that we have been talking about - are much lower than NY and NJ.” — PolitiTweet.org

Trump seemed to interpret the question as if he was being asked if we need to actually test every American. That’s not what he was being asked and not what experts are talking about. — PolitiTweet.org

Fauci: As we warned, this has been a very bad week in terms of the number of deaths. But at the same time, adherence to separation has produced a dramatic improvement in the need for hospitalization in NY. "What we are doing is working, and therefore we need to continue." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s portion of tonight’s briefing was much shorter, roughly 20 minutes, than it has been recently. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump: "You can never do anything about the people that lost their loved ones" and friends; a lot of people won't ever be the same; but our country, from an economic standpoint, will be stronger than ever. "A big bounce, rather than a small bounce...we will be back." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Asked what he'd say to newly unemployed Americans who fear the economy won't just bounce back, Trump says, "Well I think the economy is going to do very well. Now that's just my feeling. It's a strong feeling. I've had good, proper feelings about a lot of things over the years." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Asked if we don't need a nationwide testing system before reopening the country, Trump says some parts of the country are in good shape. He then says we'll soon be going to certain areas of the country and doing "massive testing" even though it's not necessary. ? — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump says his conversation with Putin and King Salman was "very good" and "they're getting close to a deal" and "they're getting along very well." "We're going to see what happens, but it was a very good call." He says an announcement is coming soon, maybe good and maybe not. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

The briefing has started. Trump says they are making progress on the "economic front of this war." He touts the Fed announcement today and his administration's effort to "replenish" the "incredibly successful" Paycheck Protection Program. — PolitiTweet.org
