    President Trump rails against again & calls some journalists there “garbage”. He really does expect loyalty from Fox.

    Many will disagree, but is doing nothing to help Republicans, and me, get re-elected on November 3rd. Sure, there are some truly GREAT people on Fox, but you also have some real “garbage” littered all over the network, people like Dummy Juan Williams, Schumerite Chris...

    I'm in Brazil where is now spreading faster than anywhere else on earth. Yet the official figures are in doubt & testing is minimal- health experts believe the true infection fig. could be 15 times higher. Mass graves in 1 city, health services buckling.

    has now overtaken the UK as the 3rd worst in world for confirmed cases. But UK Gov't isn't giving global comparisons any more, as its death toll mounts. And the UK Gov't has again failed to test the promised 100K people a day- weeks of shortfall now.

    Senior British health official warms we may have to live with for years to come. This, in a country where there are very hopeful signs of a vaccine from the Oxford-AstraZenica team, though it’s unlikely to be widely available until 2021 (if successful).

    Once again, & for the avoidance of doubt- the UK Gov't is NOT testing 100K people a day. This chart shows under 70K a day. Mailing tests to centers is not doing them, even if it boasts of 133K 'tests'. The numbers continue to undermine public trust when it's desperately needed.

    CORONAVIRUS: Daily update As of 9am 15 May, there have been 2,353,078 tests, with 133,784 tests on 14 May. 1,663,492 people have been tested of which 236,711 tested positive. As of 5pm on 14 May, of those tested positive for coronavirus, across all settings, 33,998 have sadly died.

    Does this lawmaker mean the deaths of more than 30,000 people from a that wasn’t tackled early enough by their leaders? Or the fact that a man can talk to his Prime Minister in a park? Brits should be proud of one. But certainly not the other.

    There are very few countries in the world where this would be allowed to happen. 🇬🇧

    There might be glimmers of hope in these numbers but it’s hard to get past the main one- nearly 3 million more unemployed last week in the US, nearly 36 million now in total. Horrendous. It will take years to dig out of this, in the US & beyond.

    NEW: Another 2,980,000 Americans filed initial jobless claims last week; more than 35,000,000 have filed claims in past two months.
