U.S. Passes 2 Million Coronavirus Cases

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the U.S. passed 2 million on Thursday. And as states begin the process of reopening, they’re President Donald Trump, who has dismissed the seriousness of the global pandemic and let the botched U.S. response, scheduled his first campaign rally since the pandemic. “Starting up again soon, maybe next week!” On Wednesday, the president announced he’ll hold a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on June 19, or Juneteenth — a commemoration for the ending of slavery in the U.S. The campaign believes it can deflect criticism of rally crowds not wearing face masks or practicing social distancing by pointing to the Black Lives Matter protests. “But I would point out to the national media that I don’t remember them doing any social distancing shaming when they were doing all the coverage of the demonstrations that were going on,” Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh told Fox News on Wednesday.
