Leadership at it's worst. For those of you who hate CNN: suck it up and watch. This is mostly Trump ranting and spouting nonsense. He keeps going back to the old theme when confronted: You should be congratulating us!

Jared Kushner builds government website for coronavirus.

Hmmm, wonder how much government funds are being siphoned off for this. I would have preferred that they give money to JHU (John Hopkins) to upgrade their website.

Trump must have taken too many victory laps on the claims of the Abbott Labs testing device. Maryland GOP Governor disputes testing.

Seems like politics may be playing a part in which states get support and how much support they get.

I guess I would declare New York a national disaster.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic here. Mayor Cuomo has been rather energetic in his pleadings to Trump for ventilators before the crisis actually occurs. Trump is quoted as saying he wasn't sure how the necessity for generators (ventilators) could rise from just a few to 40,000. I hope you were being sarcastic.

The man has a big ego. He said his press conferences are more popular than the Bachelor. You gotta have some ego when in a position like that but most people keep it in check. In this case he has no filter.

Those missing four to six weeks are likely to go down in the definitive history as a cautionary tale of the potentially devastating consequences of failed political leadership. Today, 86,012 cases have been confirmed across the US, pushing the nation to the top of the world’s coronavirus league table – above even China.

More than a quarter of those cases are in New York City, now a global center of the coronavirus pandemic, with New Orleans also raising alarm. Nationally, 1,301 people have died.

Most worryingly, the curve of cases continues to rise precipitously, with no sign of the plateau that has spared South Korea.

No clue where to send the ventilators.

170 ventilators sent by the Federal Government to California, all broken, had to be fixed in Silicon Valley.

Isn't Cuomo the Gov? Mayor De Blasio is the one that stated that the New Yorkers should not worry about the virus and to keep living normally.

Pence trying to blame the CDC and the Chinese for the slow response to the coronavirus.

So, how come a third world country like Iran has so many recoveries from the disease? More than the US. And Iran has less cases.
