Good evening everyone. There is a lot to get to tonight's potentially positive signs in New York.

The epicenter of the fight to save infected people in plenty of continued warnings about difficult days and deaths ahead.

We're going to get to all of that. The White House coronavirus task force press briefing ended a short while ago.

And if you tuned into it, hoping to hear from the country's top scientists, you were likely disappointed.

What we mostly heard was the president. What we saw was a hijacking.

A hijacking of the task force press conference by a president determined to rewrite the history of his early and reprehensibly irresponsible response to this virus.

What the president showed us today is what the nation's top scientists have to deal with every day.

The president who now uses these briefings as a re-election platform, an opportunity to lie, to deflect, to attack, to bully, and cover up his own deadly dismissals with a virus for crucial weeks.

According to the president today, all governors are getting everything they need and testing is now and always has been great.

Reporters who asked fair questions but didn't cowtower suck up to this president were attacked and belittled.

And a special venom was reserved for a career official at HHS who he doesn't even know who released a non-political study with extensive interviews with doctors and hospitals across the country describing the lack of supplies and insufficient testing and mixed messages they've been getting from the federal government.

All things that have been reported on. I just have to point out this is not normal and it matters because this is life and death.

If you look at the chart by the way that the White House showed to show the extensiveness of the testing, you'll notice there statistics do not begin until March 5th.

February was a lost month and people died because of that.

And the numbers tested do not begin to appreciably rise on their own chart until more than halfway through the month of March.

That's how late it was.

Nonetheless, this is the victory the administration is repeatedly claiming.

This is what the president is claiming to, claiming that testing has always has been great. It hasn't. Still not.

Hospitalization rates and fatalities expected to increase dramatically from the coronavirus.

President Trump, however, spoke again today of light at the end of the tunnel. No word on how long that tunnel may be or how dim the light currently is.

There are some positive trends, but as New Jersey's governor today said, this is no time to take our foot off the gas.

The number of dead in this country passed the 10,000 mark today. The current number is 10,781. The number of cases 364,723.
