Trump thinks he’s doing well; isn’t that what matters?

With approximately 100,000 CoronaVirus cases worldwide, and 3,280 deaths, the United States, because of quick action on closing our borders, has, as of now, only 129 cases (40 Americans brought in) and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!

Or maybe just to not know what the numbers actually are:

Kudos to one of my favorite people @KristenhCNN, who’s doing a public service here forcing a CDC official on the record to answer for why the US has failed to test more than a few thousand people, while South Korea is testing *10k* per day for coronavirus. https://t.co/MlsvyQG8fB

We still don’t know how deadly or disruptive this disease is going to be. Only one thing can be assured: we’re gonna be down so low bottom will look like up.

We closed our borders, you know.

We're all going to die. https://t.co/lDxnu9AEMx

A reminder that we do have drive-thru immigration checkpoints. So there’s that.

Reminder that as US struggles to get sufficient coronavirus testing online, South Korea set up drive-thru testing clinics days ago. pic.twitter.com/6ZBwFPf43y
