.@realDonaldTrump backs down after floating "enforced quanrantine" all day after withering response from @NYGovCuomo who said the President had not mentioned it when they talked earlier in the day and it would be a declaration of war by federal government against the states

What was the point of Trump flirting with a quarantine today? This isn’t fucking jazz man. Stop improvising.

Trump will do the same when it spreads to red America: blame blue cities as incubators. And 1/3 of the country will agree immediately. Mapping corona onto the culture war distracts us all from massive early year failure of Trump & GOP to take this seriously. It’s all misdirection https://t.co/0NekCIG4N4

For the United States of America to have the worst #Covid_19 trajectory in the ENTIRE world (even accounting for questionable data from China) represents a catastrophic failure of national leadership. The warnings were all there. There’s no excuse. pic.twitter.com/foQPYlVnsl

JUST IN: Pres. Trump said "some people would like to see New York quarantined," adding: "There's a possibility that sometime today we'll do a quarantine—short-term two weeks on New York, probably New Jersey, certain parts of Connecticut." https://t.co/vLYqHWrMao pic.twitter.com/jtyrwAVlZC

Just watched Trump again at the top of the news. We're in a national crisis and our President is playing cynical and dangerous political games. He's blaming NY for the virus because he knows he can't win NY. He's pretending to protect FL because he has to win there. No bottom.

Just in: Confirmed #COVID19 deaths in the US doubled over the past two days, surpassing 2,000 as of today (Saturday).

To put this in context: It took a month from the first death to hit 1,000. It took 48 hours to go from 1,000 deaths to 2,000+.https://t.co/n6cge9Mw7p

The @WSJ reporting today that , not surprisingly, @realDonaldTrump is planning to break with precedent and personally sign the relief checks, just so people know that HE sent them the cash.
