Its been 15 days now since the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus a Global Pandemic. And tonight our country, sad to say, leads the world but in an awful way. We have now surpassed china. We now have the greatest number of confirmed coronavirus cases on earth. The president today said the fact that we have passed china is a, quote, tribute to our testing. He wants to clear whole regions of the country still to get back out, get to work pretty quickly, he said today. He added, the process has to start pretty soon. Please note we are nowhere near the projected peak of this illness, and our trend line is heading straight up. The president blew through a ton of impressivesounding numbers of masks and gloves and ventilators on order and being shipped. Some of the numbers were the same as yesterday. None of them with any bearing seemingly on the desperation we are hearing and seeing from urban hospitals, especially as the death toll soars. Remember, please, we have no idea ho

Please note we are nowhere near the projected peak of this illness, and our trend line is heading straight up. The president blew through a ton of impressivesounding numbers of masks and gloves and ventilators on order and being shipped. Some of the numbers were the same as yesterday. None of them with any bearing seemingly on the desperation we are hearing and seeing from urban hospitals, especially as the death toll soars. Remember, please, we have no idea how Many Americans have the virus. Of those tested, over 82,000 americans have been infected. Over 1,100 have now died. There are no upwards of half a million cases around the globe.

Several dozen protesters. We are estimating maybe between 50 and 60 as the rally got out, Law Enforcement start to do try to get the protesters to disperse. What they start to do tell them to do is they were having unlawful protest. Well, some of those protesters didnt take to that kindly. They started burning items. They started throwing huge rocks.
