Made a racing bar chart based on the JHU data of #COVID19 in the world. As up till Apr.13, the United States has the most cumulative cases (557,590), followed by Spain (166,831) and Italy (156,363). pic.twitter.com/JypLTfyr5A
Coronavirus death counts are based on positive tests and driven by hospital deaths. But data from major metropolitan areas shows a spike in at-home deaths, prompting one expert to say current numbers were just “the tip of the iceberg.†https://t.co/iBdxhza932
I'm sort of hoping that @Olivianuzzi is the journalist who gets this scoop: An interview with Kimberly Guilfoyle about it feels that her ex is so fucking competent compared to her boyfriend's Daddy, who invited COVID to her birthday party?
COVID-19 has exacerbated existing inequalities, fueled xenophobia & harmed marginalized groups. How can policymakers, civil society, and journalists respond? Tune in to this week's Big, If True webinar with @BostonJoan and a great panel of smart folks: https://t.co/12qikDOpOd
President Trump stepped to the lectern Monday on a day when thecoronavirusdeath toll in the United States ticked up past 23,000. He addressed the nation at a time when unemployment claims have shot past 15 million and lines at food banks stretch toward the horizon.
Yet in the middle of this deadly pandemic that shows no obvious signs of abating, the president made clear that the paramount concern for Trump is Trump — his self-image, his media coverage, his supplicants and his opponents, both real and imagined.
“Everything we did was right,” Trump said, during a sometimes hostile 2½ -hour news conference in which he offered a live version of an enemies list, brooking no criticism and repeatedly snapping at reporters who dared to challenge his version of events.
Trump has always had a me-me-me ethos, an uncanny ability to insert himself into the center of just about any situation. But Monday’s coronavirus briefing offered a particularly stark portrait of a president seeming unable to grasp the magnitude of the crisis — and saying little to address the suffering across the country he was elected to lead.
