March 27, 2020 Morning Briefing

President Donald Trump has signaled his determination to reopen parts of the country in recent days, and the latest proposal would involve a targeted approach that would rely heavily on testing, which has been a weak spot for the country.

Trump Becomes Biggest Cheerleader For Governors Bucking White House’s Reopening Guidelines

May 5, 2020 Morning Briefing

President Donald Trump is championing governors who are lifting restrictions even though their states haven’t met the White House’s own guidelines for doing so. Public health experts warn that a push to reopen too soon could lead to a devastating surge of deaths in the coming weeks and months. “There’s this mindset that it’s like running a show and you’ve got to keep people tuned in,” a former administration official told Politico. “Viewers will get tired of another season of coronavirus.”

Pompeo Claims There Is Evidence Virus Came From Chinese Lab, But Intelligence Experts Say It’s Circumstantial

May 4, 2020 Morning Briefing

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo backed up President Donald Trump’s assertions that the coronavirus may have originated in a Chinese lab. While scientists have found that the virus is not man-made or genetically altered, some experts say it still could have come from a lab if a worker was exposed while studying the natural virus. Still, senior officials at U.S. intelligence agencies say in private that any evidence pointing to a lab accident is mainly circumstantial and based on public material.

Trump Unveils Testing Plan That Falls Far Short Of What Public Health Experts Say Is Necessary

April 28, 2020 Morning Briefing

President Donald Trump has been saying for weeks that states have enough testing capabilities, while also promising but failing to ramp up testing.
