The US has done more per capita tests for coronavirus than any other country, including South Korea: Donald Trump said in the briefing at the White House, reporting that the tests completed are 3.78 million. The president spoke of one million new tests per week. Trump has denounced that there have been "very partisan rumors among the media and politicians who have spread false and misleading information" about the lack of ability to test in the US. Trump predicts that there will be around 60-65 thousand coronavirus deaths in the US, "far fewer than expected," he said, recalling that estimates spoke of between 100,000 and 240,000. "Some states have been too tough" with their restrictive measures against coronavirus: so Trump answered a question on his tweets in which he urged the "liberation" of some states led by dem governors, such as Minnesota, Michigan and Virginia. Tweet that according to some governors, such as Washington, are fueling mass protests such as those of recent days. The demonstrators took to the streets, armed and without respecting social distances, against the lockdown decided by some democratic governors against the coronavirus? "I saw them, they seem to me responsible people," replied the president. The US will assist Mexico in the coronavirus emergency by also sending respirators, Trump said, reporting that he spoke to the Mexican president. "I hope we can resume the rallies because they are an important part of politics," said Donald Trump, recalling how his rallies were followed by tens of thousands of people and contributed to his success. Trump has announced that he will give the opening speech at the famous military academy in West Point, suggesting that the traditional cadet graduation ceremony will be held despite restrictions on the coronavirus.
