Trump: ‘Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA’

Well, that’s good. We can all rest easy now.

Tweeted impeached and manifestly unfit U.S. President Donald Trump just now:

The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!

Yeah.

No.

Previously today:

The Dow Jones Industrial Average plummetted more than 1,000 points as news of a spreading coronavirus outbreak suggests wider coming damage to the global economy.

Trump eliminated a position called Senior Director of Global Health Security. That person used to work in the NSC to coordinate responses to global health emergencies and potential pandemics.
