WaPo: Trump golfs amid push to reopen; U.S. coronavirus deaths near 100,000

The Washington Post is providing this important information about the coronavirus for free

As coronavirus deaths in the United States neared 100,000, President Trump went golfing at his privately owned course in Sterling, Va., Saturday morning. The outing comes amid attempts to resume normal activities, even in an area hit hard by the pandemic. Deborah Birx, lead coordinator of the White House coronavirus task force, said Friday that the District and its suburbs have the highest rate in the country of people testing positive for the infection.

It was the first time Trump has golfed at one of his properties since early March when the outbreak intensified and states began issuing stay-home orders.

Here are some significant developments:

Trump’s move to block travel from Europe in March triggered chaos and a surge of passengers from the outbreak’s center.

because he always went to golf rather than church, and now he feels emboldened.

have been alerting the People about the CV instead of calling it a "democrat hoax".

This is why so many Americans are dead from the Virus and why it's unsafe to reopen now.

This history cannot get lost.

Al Gore was President in 2000 or John Kerry in 2004 or Hillary Clinton in 2016. I don’t believe for one second our lives would be like they are today.
