Thank you.

Aaron, thanks very much.

Good evening, New York State.

Today saw its biggest jump in COVID-related deaths and new evidence of the virus is disproportionately

killing black Americans.

The president expressed his concern today over that fact and will talk more about why this

is happening to black Americans.

There was potentially some good news.

The director of the CDC is saying because of ongoing social distancing efforts, we may

end up seeing fewer fatalities overall than some recent modeling projected.

Here's what he said.

Even those models that were done, they assumed that only about 50 percent of the American

public would pay attention to the recommendations.

In fact, what we're seeing is a large majority of the American public are taking a lot of

information to heart.

And I think that's the direct consequence why you're seeing the numbers are going to

be much, much, much, much lower than what had been predicted by the models.

The president continued to use what's supposed to be a factual briefing by the coronavirus

task force to rewrite the history of his administration's response.

Today he focused on a new target, the World Health Organization, perhaps out of legitimate

concerns or perhaps his way to provide cover for his own actions.

The president is now saying that the WHO missed the pandemic.
