I still like playing it down, because I don’t want to create a panic.”Trump said Thursday that if Woodward thought him downplaying COVID-19 was bad, he should have reported his comments earlier."If Bob Woodward thought what I said was bad, then he should have immediately, right after I said it, gone out to the authorities, so they can prepare and let them know," he told reporters who asked why he lied to the American public.The president said he didn’t want to cause a panic.“You don’t want me jumping up and down, saying there’s going to be great death, and really causing some serious problems for the country,” said Trump.When asked if he will downplay COVID-19 again, Trump said, “I don’t want to jump up and down, and start screaming ‘death,’ ‘death,’ because that’s not what it’s about. We have to lead a country.”Watch the press conference below:Apart from Woodward’s book, Trump said that there will be a signing at the White House next week between United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israel.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration’s plan to provide every nursing home with a fast COVID-19 testing machine comes with an asterisk: The government won’t supply enough test kits to check staff and residents beyond an initial couple of rounds. A program that sounded like a game changer when it was announced last month at the White House is now prompting concerns that it could turn into another unfulfilled promise for nursing homes. Residents and staff of nursing homes account for as many as 4 in 10 coronavirus deaths. Administration officials respond that nursing homes can pay for ongoing testing from a billion federal allocation available to them. 674
