Lisbon is warm and sunny this Easter. This is the day President Trump proposed to 're-open' the country several weeks ago. How are high-level decisions being made? At the task force briefing on Friday, he still seemed eager to re-open, but proposed a new date of May 1st. During the briefing, a reporter asked the President, "what metrics you will use to make that decision?" Trump replied by pointing to his temple and saying, "The metrics right here, that's my metrics."
Friday was also the last day of service for the head of USAID, Mark Green; the leadership in the US continues to thin.
There are nearly two million COVID-19 cases worldwide, and over one hundred thousand deaths. In the US, there are well over half a million cases and over twenty thousand deaths. In Portugal, there are over sixteen thousand cases and over five hundred deaths.
The US now leads all nations in terms of both total confirmed cases and total deaths from COVID-19.
cases: 1,833,685 global • 553,380 USA • 16,585 Portugal
deaths: 113,296 global • 21,731 USA • 504 Portugal
On CBS This Morning, they play a roll-call of some of those who recently passed.
