2) Trump focus on stock market has put public health at risk
3) Years of lies make this @POTUS not credible; need to have @CDCDirector @Surgeon_General inform public

I heard this news on @nprnews at 9.
No news on WH.gov or email to @whpresspool yet, & neither @WhiteHouse nor @PressSec have amplified.
Trump remains his own comms/PR director.
