Fun fact: antibiotics don’t work for a virus. #COVID19 is a virus.— Trinity (@TrinityResists) April 10, 2020

End the #TrumpPressConference. They’re daily cult rallies used to spread misinformation, deceit & blatant lies. https://t.co/90X5k1U5a1

Trump says he doesn't think a massive testing protocol will be necessary because "people are not going to go to the hospital, people are not going to get sick" -- completely overlooking that asymptomatic people can spread the coronavirus pic.twitter.com/skP97TcEsq— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) April 10, 2020

TRUMP on coronavirus: "The minimum number was 100,000 lives, and I think we'll be substantially under that number. Hard to believe that if you had 60,000 [deaths] -- you can never be happy. But that is a lot fewer than what we were originally told and thinking." pic.twitter.com/9BnIC9e1T0— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) April 10, 2020
