Worth thinking about how the Trump campaign and the president would be reacting if Biden was the one being hospitalized tonight with COVID.

Cuomo gets a lot more coverage because the national media is based in New York and his brother is on CNN, but CA has contained coronavirus much better than NY, and Gavin Newsom (and London Breed and Eric Garcetti!) have, so far, done a lot of good.

President Trump, asked about Americans with symptoms unable to get a test: “I’m not hearing it.” Dr. Anthony Fauci, minutes later: “I understand with and empathize with people who say 'I want to get a test, and I cannot.’” He adds, “That is a reality that is happening now."

"I say, you're a terrible reporter," Trump says, when asked by @PeterAlexander what he would say to Americans who are "scared."

As Intel chairman, @SenatorBurr got private briefings about Coronavirus weeks ago. Burr knew how bad it would be. He told the truth to his wealthy donors, while assuring the public that we were fine. THEN he sold off $1.6 million in stock before the fall. He needs to resign.
NEW: After assuring the public about the government's coronavirus preparedness, Senate Intel chair Richard Burr, in one day, sold off up to $1.6 million is stock. A week later, the market began its fall. His committee was receiving daily briefings. propublica.org/article/senat…

The first coronavirus case in the U.S. and South Korea was detected on the same day. By late January, Seoul had medical companies starting to work on a diagnostic test — one was approved a week later. Today, the U.S. isn’t even close to meeting test demand reut.rs/3daq8mF

There’s a reason previous presidents have been a little more reticent to take big victory laps around bull markets.
“11,000 points gained in the Dow in the 3 years since the Election of President Trump. Today it may hit 29,000. That has NEVER happened before in that time frame. That has added 12.8 Trillion Dollars to the VALUE of American Business.” @Varneyco @FoxNews The best is yet to come!

Question: Have you considered not having campaign rallies? Trump: No I haven’t... We had tens of thousands of people standing outside the arena Question: Is there a risk that there’s that many people so close together Trump: It doesn’t bother me at all

Trump muses that he could’ve become a research scientist instead of president. TRUMP: I like this stuff. I really get it… every one of these doctors said, ‘how do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability.

New: The Trump administration's insistence that containment should remain the primary way to confront COVID-19 - and repeated claims that it was working - ignored a series of alarm bells from experts inside & outside the US government Latest w/ @wjhenn time.com/5797636/trump-botch…

Pretty stark statement from a Kaiser nurse in NorCal who got sick after caring for a coronavirus patient, criticizing CDC for delays in testing. act.nationalnursesunited.org…

The first death from covid-19 in the state of California happened in Placer County, and now it's being reported that the man who died was on the same cruise to Mexico as a patient in Sonoma County — and that same ship is due to dock back in SF on Thursday. sfist.com/2020/03/04/first-c…

1. I’ve had a chance to check in with sources, including two US officials who had intelligence briefings after the strike on Suleimani. Here is what I’ve learned. According to them, the evidence suggesting there was to be an imminent attack on American targets is “razor thin”.
