Trump's campaign press secretary tweeted a week ago today that millions of coronavirus tests were going out. Trump himself amplified it days later.

Both tweets are still up.

Yet, according to the Covid Tracking Project, fewer than 100,000 people have actually been tested so far

Testing data: 97,262 people have been tested

Trump spent a lot of time at today's coronavirus briefing lying about his personal finances.

1) He has not lost billions of dollars as president (that's not even possible).

2) Donating his salary is an empty gimmick that allows him to make hundreds of millions of as president
Asked whether his company would take taxpayer money, Trump whines about no one saying "thank you" for his unprecedented financial arrangement, which opens him to unprecedented conflicts of interest and earns him ONE THOUSAND times more money than the normal POTUS salary.
Trump also says that he told "the kids" not to do foreign deals.

In reality, foreign governments and foreign government-tied groups have spent big at his properties, and "the kids" have travelled the world promoting the business and pushing foreign deals.

What's interesting here is that Trump doesn't even pretend not to own and profit from his businesses anymore.

Remember the early days? The stack of documents. The claims of separation.

All pretense is gone now, and now his businesses might get bailed out with taxpayer money.
He also references how he donates his salary, which is an empty gimmick.

His decision not to divest his businesses netted him $434 million in personal revenue in 2018 alone—the last year for which data is available. That's a thousand times more than his presidential salary.
Additionally, Trump and his businesses have likely made millions off policies enacted by his administration and bills he has signed into law citizensforethics.org/trump-administ…

In retrospect, maybe it wasn't a great idea to explode the deficit by giving a massive tax cut to giant corporations and the super wealthy
Oh neat.

At the moment there are 22,132 known #Coronavirus cases in the US, in every state in the country and in DC. It's killed 282 people in this country.

On 1/22/20, Trump said "We have it totally under control. It's one person coming in from China. It's going to be just fine."
What was the state of the outbreak in this country at the time Trump made various public statements?

Here's a timeline.
When Trump made his statement that "It's one person coming in from China" on January 22nd, he was actually accurate about the number of known cases at that point in time. There was one known case in one state. No one had passed away from Coronavirus yet.

CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
This is a roundup of what I found to be the most interesting & helpful sources on my journey into the void. #Coronavirus #Pandemic #Misinformation #CDC #CPP #WHO
This is for friends & family, but also to raise concern over media censorship & begin a discussion of what are best practices for both traditional & decentralized media outlets. This is a collection of sources to tell a larger story and spark interest.
Very few sources peer reviewed. Some behind paywalls. Some mainstream news. Some International News. Some in other languages (Use chrome). Some Harvard medical Journals. Some unverified. Some factually incorrect. Have some salt with your rice & beans.
