It occurred to me that the best thing the press could do would be to attend the President's daily briefing, listen respectfully, then ask no questions. Afterall, there are no more questions that need answering; the President just likes the attention. The Atlantic has broken the code with their COVID-19—free reading list (a fine list it is, too).
It's hard to believe, but there are still hard core conservatives and conspiracy theorists who think the Corona virus is a hoax, no worse than the flu. They think they are supporting the President. Jerry Falwell, Jr, in Lynchburg, Virginia comes to mind, and Jon Rappoport, writing from Moscow, who is certain lots of those COVID-19 deaths are just pneumonia.
In the absence of hard news at this point (1340 EDT), I offer a CORONA Haiku (what else would shut-in poet offer?).
Laid low by Covid,
A nation cow'rs, leaderless,
As Trump basks daily.
