Donald Trump's first coronavirus briefing in months involved a stark warning for America

ABC  

In his first formal coronavirus briefing since April, US President Donald Trump stuck to a prepared script, urged Americans to wear masks and warned that things would "get worse before they get better". Unlike the previous briefings, the 27 minutes of guidance came from Trump and Trump alone, as the medical experts on the White House's Coronavirus Task Force stayed outside the briefing room. "If you watch television you'd think that the US is the only country suffering from the China virus," Trump said in one of his comments that directly or indirectly blamed China for the pandemic. The White House press secretary said Trump had "been consistent on the issue of masks" and cited the President's frequent testing regime as proof he is "acting appropriately" and setting an example.
