Trump Continues to Misrepresent Coronavirus

In a rare press conference today, Trump tried to deny that he called the coronavirus emergency a hoax, misidentified the nation's first virus victim as a woman and continued to misstate the number of U.S. patients identified as contracting the coronavirus.  Despite what Trump continues to say, the current number of cases is 67 (of those, 6 have recovered and 1 has died).  The breakdown is as follows:

3 cases of people who contracted the virus in Wuhan and were repatriated to the U.S. and 44 people who contracted the virus while quarantined on the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan and were repatriated to the Travis Air Force Base in California, Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland in Texas, and the University of Nebraska Medical Center near Camp Ashland in Nebraska.
