Trump appears to be skipping a side-event at the G20 virtual summit focused on pandemic preparedness. The President has just arrived at his golf course in Virginia. https://t.co/4045RD0SQj pic.twitter.com/YBlNpZIW40

I don't know if it's accurate to focus just on him being in denialof pandemic issues now, though. Cause isn't he basically skipping not just the whole G-20 thing but all presidential duties? Fighting the election inbetween watching tv news and golfing is basically his new career?

Joe says

This afternoon, @KamalaHarris and I met with @SpeakerPelosi and @SenSchumer to discuss how we’ll get this virus under control, deliver much-needed relief, and build back better than before.

We’re getting right to work for the American people. pic.twitter.com/jbeNpsimdj

Anyone who wants a COVID-19 test should be able to get one. Period.

U.S. hospitals are full; reconsider that risky behavior next week:

DEVASTATING ANIMATION—Containment measures #COVID19 case surges and hospitalizations by state.

Hospitals are now almost full nationwide and ICU beds will soon run out. Please don’t do anything to risk spreading the virus over the holidays. Please stay safe everyone. https://t.co/StOXYzm6Bd pic.twitter.com/dKM5l97VNC

BREAKING—FDA has granted emergency use authorization for @Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody cocktail REGEN-COV2 (Casirivimab and imdevimab), the same drug given to Trump when he was infected with #COVID19. Only for mild/moderate cases—not hospitalized. https://t.co/eEUxf3pvqm pic.twitter.com/5ITGMvNqd8

The USA COVID death toll run-rate is now *1 per minute.*
— Steven Dennis (@StevenTDennis) November 22, 2020

If the death count goes up just a bit more, it would become the leading cause of death per day. It's already multiple times deadlier than the flu + car accident deaths + gun fatalities.
