In hard-hit New York City, 1,400 members of the police department have tested positive for the coronavirus, says New York City Police Commissioner Dermot Shea.
Despite the large percentage of sick calls, Shea said there are still plenty of cops on corners and in cars. He did concede the department is"planning for all eventualities" should the number of infections within the NYPD climb.

"Initially, the CDC, the World Health Organization and my office recommended against the general public wearing masks based on the best available science at the time, in terms of whether or not it prevented the wearer from catching coronavirus," he said."Now, we've learned about this disease -- and we've always said, we're going to learn more, we're going to adjust -- and we've learned that there is a fair amount of asymptomatic spread.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said at a press briefing Tuesday that both CDC and White House officials are having a"very active discussion" about whether to recommend the broad use of masks in the U.S.The former president of the Republic of Congo, Jacques Joaquim Yhombi-Opango, has died in Paris from complications related to the novel coronavirus, officials said Wednesday.

I don’t buy it.
7Veronica Errrrrrr. We have more population than most if not all European countries. And we’re testing more as well. So.... that comment may only help to scare people when we, as a country, are doing the best we can given the circumstances.
Still shilling for China? ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied
Just wait.
That's because we are being honest about our reporting.
Disney ABC parrots transparent LIES of the ChiComs...
Let’s not forget that the Chinese government lies and cares nothing about its citizens.
Do not believe this
How many deaths where from the virus I bet most or from other issues and are being counted as covid19 but are not the reason at all and plus the flu kills from 30k to 80k a year with invective in the tens of millions
ChinaLiedPeopleDied
and only those in the Fakenews media who continue to spew Chinese propaganda would believe this. The media in the USA is irrelevant and the masses are starting to see. Cheers to all the lost jobs coming your way, couldn't happen to a better group of people
This is a lie. You neglect to report that china did, and continues to, lie about their numbers. You're chicom propaganda.
There is reporting that there may be as many as 40,000 dead in Wuhan. I think you should mention the questionable nature of the Chinese numbers.
No shit it’s cause we are the biggest
Why are you pushing Chinese propaganda...oh yeah you are a BS partisan network who forgot what real news is decades ago.
only b/c ChinaLiedPeopleDied ... of course wouldn't expect much truth from the same media that have become propaganda arms of the communist party in china.
US has 1/4th the total of cases in the world and about 1/9th of the deaths. Seems like we're doing a better job of treating it. Plus: Does anyone outside of China actually believe their numbers aren't 10x worse than they have reported?
America is always 1!!!!!!
So you just gonna ignore that China is no longer reporting or that they've AGAIN closed the movie theaters? Or how about the fact we are still low per-capita and seeing as we are the third-largest population in the world we are still doing a good job?
🤥
and by far the lowest death rate of any nation being hit hard by the virus. (1000 deaths)
ChiCom propaganda Also Some places are not testing because they don’t have the private industry that can make 2 minute tests. They have to wait for the ChiCom tests that are FAULTY.
And hes worried about his facebook rating... violation of oath!
🙏🏽
Wow, what China sell outs ABC News is. We don’t want your propaganda in America. Take it to China, you worthless traitors. Maybe it is time to boycott everything Disney. Go spread your China propaganda somewhere else.
Everyday, all day, with examples why so many have no faith or confidence in much of the media. No respect either.
Bullsht. You KNOW the numbers from China are lies. Why do you continuously promote the views of the Chinese Communist Party?
Who knew ABC stood for Always Backing China.
Only because we tested more people. What’s the death/ recovery rate? What are the ages of dead and recovering. Where xx are the videos of hospital war zones. Fuck the MSM!!!
F A K E N E W S
ABC = A Broadcast for China?
And you can thank your Chinese communist government oss-hole.
More tests = more cases
You really need to put an asterisk on that. You’re assuming Liena (Lying China) numbers are correct. Haha
China is going through it's 'Second Wave' now. SecondWave
Is doing any reporting on the numbers coming out of China?
is pushing Chinese propaganda. They lied about death toll
Nyugodjanak békében!
China.
USA is the epicenter of TrumpDerangementSyndrome. Now do how many have recovered, since we are leading the world in testing technology and *identifying* more cases. How are we statistically doing with the other causes, which are being shifted over to COVID19 b/c OrangeManBad?
Chinese numbers? I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.
Sure Jan
🤣 A fake news network reporting on a Country that lies. What could go wrong?
Does this include China’s totals? If so, please cite your sources.
Fake News....but you know that
You are FakeNews
The fact you think China is telling the truth about its numbers is laughable.
CHINA
Xi would be proud of you.
Cases per million or nah?
I notice you fail to mention the USA has about half the deaths of Spain. Why is that, does Spain have lousy medical care, it's a different virus there, lousy testing? Could it be the USA is good at testing and medical care?
Well we don’t know about China’s real numbers
If you believe china’s numbers which we all know are false
But only 70,000 die from drug overdose
It was never a secret of people getting the virus with no symptoms, just carriers of it. I learned of it in February on YouTube channels that explained how this virus infected people.
We need to stay home and when we go out for essential items quickly we need to have a mask on at all times. This is the only thing that’s going to save us and the healthcare workers. Wear cloth mask that are medical grade to save the disposable surgical/N95 mask for the HC worker
you know that 10k has died in spain,right?
Fat boy and his delayed response
China had warned you about the virus 3 month ago 3 Jan 2020, and Trump blew it like a flu. Now we are warning you the possibility of 2nd wave cause of the undiagnosed and what we got here? ABC = all about China... Grow up.
What a Perfect Resppnse looks like?
The people in charge of these news organizations should be fired. The propaganda machine is strong!
Who would believe the number of USA? There are so many patients can't get test. Maybe 50,000 already died from coronavirus in the USA.
While you are blaming China, why don't you think about why we have a big outbreak here. Two months ago, China notified the world of the new coronavirus and closed the city, right? Our President says he has it all in his hands, and now you will only blame China
Only if you believe China
Plz, ABC. You know this is wrong. 😓
I’m tired of all the winning.
Clearly fakenews now with definite proof that ChinaLiesPeopleDie with numbers of death in Wuhan alone exceeding 40,000 souls. Dont be little Wumao and repeat a Communist dictatorship verbatim. CCPVirus ChineseWuhanVirus Communismkills EnemyOfThePeople Trump2020
Perhaps NY and others should not have went against Trump and encouraged ppl to mingle, right... but don't let FACTS get in the way of your psyop
How many died from the flu? And how many had pre existing conditions that effected their health? How many babies were murdered in that same time period? And victims of cancer? 🙄 Do the world a service and end transmission..
And were there not 12,469 ppl who die from H1N1 under OBAMA - Has that stat changed?
You make Xi proud
Who cares? He’s number 1 on Facebook!! Stop with this bullshit
This has no shred of journalistic truth...
China is lying
So... we are buying the numbers being put out by Chinese state run media?
We do not know Chinas true numbers
Is this what make America great is about. The highest Corvid19 tally in the world. Wow!! Trump must be doing a good job as president.....NOT!!
Another China wang sucking network that won’t question them or their numbers
China and Trump
A lways B elieve C hina
Pet capita? Doubtful. And also doubtful China’s numbers are accurate.
Don’t trust anything China says.
ABC News is promoting Chinese government propaganda
Classic Wumao play script.
Deduct the people that are now healthy. Stop trying to inflate the number.
How many people died from drug overdose this year ? Flu ? Car accidents ? Suicide ? Homicides ? Last question, have you reported on any of these deaths ?
7Veronica If they would stay home!!!!!!!!!!! Hard headed Americans
And you trust these numbers because they’ve been so honest in the past? Got it, thanks.
Percentages please or stop the shitty math
What a horrible and misleading headline
Only 45,000 more to go to catch up with the seasonal flu.
And yet trumpites are still saying this is a Democrat hoax. It’s so very sad when people are willfully stupid
You have to know this is about as true as your video of Syrian fighting shot in Kentucky. But we get it. You want to protect China and journalism really isn't your thing
Going on a limb but I'm sure China has a bigger death count, they locked people there houses from the outside and let them die. Report on that why don't you.
I want to hear from the funeral Homes recent activity lately? Because I haven't seen overrun funeral homes Wth? Why aren't they advertising on my tracked flipped Chinese made Apple phone?
1.4 BILLION people, and the place it originated and was running rampant for 3 months before they notified the world, has half as many cases as Italy, a country of 60 million? Ok sure. That’s totally believable.
sooooo You’re ACTUALLY believing Communist China’s numbers 😂Balahaaaaa... umm OK
And u confirmed these figures with who, China. Oh yes u sure can count on them for true figures. Then there is the hospitals who said they gave death rates of all who died no matter from what?
You actually believe the Chinese government?
lolololololol... jk, nobody is laughing at the fact that our media is controlled by communist china... lower case
ABC has no evidence like true statistics from China (which don’t exist) to support this bullshit.
Who in their right mind actually believes this?
Next time you spend money at Disney think of how much it hates America - they don’t tell you we tested hell of a lot more & China fakes infection rates 🙄
You seem almost gleeful. You also, for some unknown reason, seem to trust the numbers reported by China. Your 'journalism' is a farce.
Yes. So? I don’t understand the obsession of comparing the U.S. with other countries here. I’m sure there’s some relevant point you’re trying to make, but you’re failing to make it.
A disgusting lie. Stop repeating Chinese propaganda. ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied
t is ridiculous to believe any of the socialist virus numbers, but what I know for sure, is that USA has the most number of communist whores working as reporters than any other country in the world
After China...
Now look at China’s publicly released data and try journalism. I’ll wait.
So much negativity on here about China get your shit together USA stop complaining and take action.
Is the epitome of propaganda. I have never seen a news organization root so hard for the country they rely on to fail. ABCnewssucks
🧐
Are you sure abt that? Checked with CCP
China propaganda
China’s numbers are wrong! Everyone knows this. Why are you reporting our country has the highest numbers?
21,000,000 cell phone accounts we closed in 1 month think about that!
Why didn’t China let the world know sooner? Why didn’t China let experts from America to help them? Why does ABC hate America?
LIAR ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE! CHINA HAS HAD WAY MORE THEN THAT. GO TAKE A VISIT AND ASK THE PEOPLE. STAY THEIR SINCE YOU CAN HONOR TRADERS OF AMERICANS. IDIOT!
So the actual numbers have to be 10 times whatever China is REPORTING 🤔
But hey Trump is trending on facebook
You are trying to tear the country down to own trump. It’s gross. Stop.
How much is Communist China paying you for saying this idiocies? Btw, it’s still to know how many people have actually died OF coronavirus and not just from pre-existing conditions worsened by coronavirus. In Italy that number has dropped to 14%. Shame on you liars.

Thanks, for parroting China. You are taking sides with a country that blamed this all on our military. We see who you're supporting. EnemyOfThePeople
Sure....because ChinaLiesPeopleDie
Not sure that data is accurate when most deaths may have been due to the primary disease
ABC = Always Believe China You Disney overlords must be proud!!!
CCPBot
Are you trying to join msnbc and cnn in ratings decline.. explain this ?
China has killed more than 5,000 Americans with the Wuhan Virus. FIXED IT FOR YOU!
And this pleases you?
That's because we are testing more !!
I suspect the number of deaths in China far exceeds the numbers they are reporting.
Do you honestly trust the CCP to tell the truth?
How much does the CCP pay you? You realize their numbers are worth....warm spit? China probably has 800,000+cases and 40,000+ dead. Now re-write your scary headline. Also: Do these numbers 'per capita.' You know better.
US only has highest if you assume Chinese figures have any relation to reality whatsoever, and only a journalist or a halfwit thinks that is true.
Is ABC still reporting communist China numbers and talking points as fact? I guess they are still obligated for some reason to China?
ABC sucks China's D..K. they believe whatever their masters tell them
It seems as though we can all agree that China is lying. China’s lies can unite America 🇺🇸
Classic CCP propaganda. SAD
Ridiculous. China is LYING and you are helping them
Incompetent
Except for China, of course.
You left out the fact that our friends in China spread this far and wide and covered it up with the assistance of the WHO. During that time, millions of infected travelers were allowed to leave Wuhan, heading to points all around the world. ChinaVirus
That's what happens when the people we elected decided to laugh and not pay attention to the news they were receiving about this virus. Now look at the danger we are all in! This care and concern should have started at the beginning of February, not the middle of March!
Guess you haven't heard the latest news from Bloomberg.
Even more weird is that MSM are praising lying China about the wuhan aka bat flu made in China virus for ' apparently ' cleaning up it's city ... even more weird huh . China's economy is rising whilst the world is on shutdown thanks. Globalist wish list . Democrats dream .
You trust China too much. They lie and ABC believes them. Investigate China!!!
Died from it or from complications? These are not the same statistics and should not be lumped together.
snafu65 This is all you, Mr. President...and for clarification, I'm not talking about Obsma.
TrumpsPrettyWom Does China own you?
Weird how so many hospitals are laying off staff due to lack of ' coronavirus AKA Wuhun aka bat flu made in China virus 'also weird how medical staff have been sent letters telling them NOT to talk to press / send messages via social media/ talk to friends or family !! Weird huh
The USA also has 360,000,000 (million) people, the UK has 66 million, Italy 60 million, so in perspective, the USA is still low comparatively. Thank goodness, let's hope it slows - and people start taking responsibility and social distance.
China is lying. Why isn't ABC investigating?
I want this shit to end !!!
No one believes this. China and Iran higher. Please stop the nonsense.
This is largely due to the failure of Democratic governors of NY, Louisiana and Michigan. They encouraged large gatherings and international visitors in March and they cut hospital & preparedness budgets prior to the arrival of the Wuhan virus. And China is lying about their s
How much are the Chinese paying you? Nobody knows how many died in China. It’s like trusting Russia to tell us the truth
Chinese propaganda . As we approach the peak in 2 weeks, it will likely surpass 5,000 deaths. USA testing capacity exceeds every nation, so that's ignored. China's real death rate is at least 5 times what they're claiming; 42,000. Stop lying.
more BS
Please google “per capita”
I see the Chinese government is still writing ABCs tweets
Credulity is unbecoming a news organization.
'Confirmed' meaning 'reported' but not actual cases, correct?
What do the per capita mortality rates look like?
belive or not. chinese people already come back to normal life.death toll in the usa is only beginning to rise belive china's data or not won't make your country do any better. just cover up your country's failures
Again people, this virus has been here for a LONG time. We are finally able to test. Don’t get caught up in the numbers. Likely double that already had it.
HEY ABC ~~~~❓❓❓❓ RealSaavedra says “This report fails to mention the mountain of evidence, including today's Bloomberg News report, that points to the fact that China lied about the extent of the outbreak in their country” WHY?
Not doing the per capita thing anymore? Why don't you try being more honest. You might not be so hated. We have 215,000 cases because we have a free society and have tested more than a million people. Enemy of the people.
How much does China pay you to betray your country and spread their propaganda? Is it worth it? When you went to school for 'Journalism' is this what you imagined you'd be doing?
This tweet will not who age well. China will eventually be forced to come clean
Intentionally Fake News.
Nobody believes China’s numbers.
Here is my cure if I get it. At first sign start on the malaria cocktail. I do not trust the system.
This advances the misinformation campaign of the Chinese Communist Party. should at least try to remain true to its name: the American Broadcasting Company
ABCNewsAreCCPShills
And ABC cheers
China approves ABC’s message
The unfortunate part is that NO ONE is talking about the potential life sentences low risk inmates incarcerated at CA state prisons are being subjected to by not releasing them while they still have their health! 6 cases in one section of San Quentin State Prison! inmatesmatter
Not true, China is lying about their death toll.
Believing Chinese stat's? How cute...
China lied and Americans died

Should have tagged your boy Xi in the post to make sure you get credit.
Must be Trump’s fault, right? Isn’t that what this is about?
It is unporpuse
Uhhmmm
Lol No.
To be fair, since many countries only test symptomatic patient, our number will for sure be higher.
It's likely that at least 45,000 people died in Wuhan alone, suggesting millions of cases in China. Why don't you report on how China misled the world?
Follow me if you think it's chinesevirus and china should be punished.
Propaganda
Here’s some perspective on those numbers, which FakeNewsABC won’t give us.👇
WHERE ARE THE TESTS?
No we don’t. Do your fucking research, journalists.
Nobody caries water for pedos and China quite like ABC.
Do we know, for sure, what real numbers of deaths there are in communist, closed government countries?
Why are you lying? China has the highest national death count. Stop pushing data from a country who still says 0 people died in Tienanmen square.
ABChina
Only if you dotn count China
COVID19
Stats from?
👀👀👀👀
When everyone is saying China's data is fake, while no one is actually trying to learn what China did and see the result. If you guys just stay home for 2 weeks, you will know it is not so difficult to beat the virus.
⌨
China does they just don’t report every case
You might want to consider this information with respect to the COVID-19 battle, just Google this: 'Does water in copper vessel fight viruses'. No promises - but you might want to consider. I have been doing it for 2 weeks, and my system does feel stronger.
Donate money to get them PPEs.
How many of those rooms will house the homeless sleeping on pavement?
A) waste of energy, not climate friendly B) theres a whole load of homeless lying in a parking lot nearby who should be in those rooms. US is proving to be a country without thought for others.

KyraPhillips No we’re all the same. Infested with Covid-19.
KyraPhillips states are in control of the stay at home order, They do not have deaths or infected like NY has. They are also responsible to keep the hospitals stocked with medical supplies,

Lives are more important, it's an easy decision

I start thinking that Maya's disappearance may have been because they've pick the wrong guy at the last election 🤔
KyraPhillips Warehouse workers
Maybe he'll get it
He'll let us know once the first 300,000 people have died, then it'll still only be for the weekend & somehow be Hillary's fault.
