BREAKING: One-time campaign aide Michael Caputo, a Trump loyalist, has been named to the Department of Health and Human Services’ top communications position, a move that comes as President Trump and the White House reportedly grow suspicious of the agency's chief, Alex Azar, who had in January tried in vain to alert the administration to the risks posed by coronavirus.

Caputo is a longtime communications professional but has not previously worked in high-level health care policy.

Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega re-appeared Wednesday after 34 days in which he was not seen in public, AP reports.

Ortega made a televised address to the nation in which he said Nicaragua had suffered only one death from the coronavirus pandemic and that the country’s three confirmed cases were imported.

There had been concerns about the health of the 74-year-old former guerrilla leader, but he appeared well and was not using a mask during his speech.

Ortega has refused to adopt the social-distancing and lock-down measures used in other countries, and has in fact encouraged Nicaraguans to participate in mass gatherings.
Nicaraguans haven’t stopped working, because if this country stops working, it dies, Ortega said. The government did extend Holy Week school vacations to two weeks; classes are scheduled to resume April 20.
Ortega did not comment on how many tests have been carried. Experts suspect there are many undetected cases.

if it can be proven that this was a chinese lab mishap, trump's numbers might actually rise a little before the election. that kind of narrative can galvanize support by giving them a more concrete entity to place all their pain and anger on, which would be china.
The sad thing is that still doesn't excuse Trump's pathetic response to this entire thing, but this is America so it won't matter
