Trump attacks Birx and calls her "pathetic" for warning that the coronavirus is "extraordinarily widespread" because he says "I think we're doing very well. Trump ignores coronavirus data and says that the United States "has done an amazing job" with dealing with coronavirus compared to other countries like France and Germany. Trump says that "the virus is receding." 30 states are seeing a rise in new coronavirus deaths vs. the previous week.  Trump keeps touting Hydroxychloroquine, even as his top medical experts say there's no evidence it works.  Dr. Fauci says asymptomatic cases are driving a "new phase" of coronavirus in the United States "that makes it much more difficult" to contain. Dr. Fauci also says that "children can get seriously ill with virus. It's a rare event, but it is not zero." Dr. Fauci says "there is still a risk" that children can get ill. An Arizona official says I'm "sick to my stomach" about reopening schools. Georgia's largest school system reports more than 250 employees have tested positive for coronavirus or have been exposed to the virus.  The New York Times says that Trump's campaign advisers privately call a pre-election vaccine "the holy grail."
