America testing20 Apr 2020 01:07
Firstly I don’t believe most of what Trump says however,
“ Trump says that 4.18 million Americans have been tested for the coronavirus, adding that testing is expanding "rapidly" and by "millions and millions of people".
"No country is close to us," in testing, he claims.
The president holds up a swab that he says can be used for testing, comparing it to a Q-tip.
"We have ordered a lot of them," the president says, announcing he will evoke the US defence production act to make sure more swabs are available.
"Swabs are easy, ventilators are hard," he adds, before calling the US "the king of ventilators".
