President Trump and his administration have had to issue a number of corrections and amendments to official declarations regarding COVID-19.
On Wednesday night, with markets tumbling and concern spreading about the coronavirus pandemic, President Trump delivered a prime-time address from the White House to help calm nerves across the globe. On three central issues, however, Trump gave out misinformation that had to be corrected later, spreading panic everywhere from European airports to the financial markets.
It was not the first time inaccurate coronavirus information came from the White House. Last week, Vice President Pence had to correct Trump about the rules on testing. In a White House briefing, Trump said “anybody that needs a test gets a test” for coronavirus, a misleading statement at the time and still not the case. The Centers for Disease Control has badly lagged other countries in preparing a nationwide testing regime.
As of Thursday morning, the CDC was testing only 100 people per day, a small fraction of those seeking to be tested. Some additional tests were being administered by state public-health agencies and private laboratories, but still far below the rate of testing in other countries.
