80,000 deaths today as Trump begins the morning with happy talk. More of the same at 4pm EDT today in a presser that should have some of the same memes. What is the over/under on a reporter asking Trump about his tweets/retweets, especially the “teeny tiny quantum dye dot”.

Think about this, Americans. S Korea has done just about the best job in the world with corona,& it still flared back when they gingerly tried rolling back social distancing. Can u imagine what this will mean in the US where corona isn’t really under control? What is Trump doing? https://t.co/yRnh9xTlPY

+1 to this: The volume and tone of Biden's earned media coverage, plus the overall narrative of Trump's pandemic response, will be far more important than viral memes or social media clapbacks. https://t.co/mKm3rlxhah pic.twitter.com/UNAirevfFM

Putin just announced an end to Russia's nationwide lockdown from tomorrow, May 12, despite record daily rise in coronavirus cases. Russia now has more registered cases than Italy or the UK, trailing only the US and Spain, according to @JHUSystems tracker. https://t.co/n5t3TYR9CL pic.twitter.com/JZ6Qgrf7kh

The far right is spreading this Russian conspiracy that has been circulating for months. Now Trump is spreading Russian conspiracy again. Meanwhile Russia has several conspiracies about US causing coronavirus. This is truly a disturbing dangerous shit show
