WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump on Sunday bragged about the millions of people tuning in to view his daily press briefings on the coronavirus pandemic, saying on Twitter that his average ratings matched a season finale of"The Bachelor."

The New York Times said viewership of the briefings had risen because people were concerned about the virus and stuck at home. MSNBC cut away from the March 23 briefing after about an hour, later saying in a statement that"the information no longer appeared to be valuable to the important ongoing discussion around public health."
