Baldwin took another and more direct shot at Trump's responses to COVID-19 later in the sketch, using one of Trump's preferred nicknames for the coronavirus:"The China Virus has been very mean to me by being a hoax, and that statement will not come back to haunt me later this week."host went on to defend the decision to keep the debate sketch because it was"topical" and avoided featuring or mentioning the president's hospitalization.
