Good Monday morning.

As the new week kicks off, here& #39;s a brief thread of some #coronavirus notes and the latest political news out of Washington...
The latest #coronavirus figures from @JohnsHopkins:

Globally:
- 1,863,406 confirmed cases
- 115,225 confirmed deaths

In United States:
- 557,590 cases
- 22,109 deaths

Here in DC, Congress remains out of session...but negotiations are underway to determine:

1) How should more $ be added to the small biz relief program? Republicans want $250 billion added right now, on its own. Democrats want $ for hospitals & local governments to be included.
2) What should a "Phase 4" #COVID19 relief package include? And will it be worth more than the $2.2 trillion "Phase 3" package that was passed a few weeks ago?

3) Will Congress return to DC on Monday, April 20, as is now scheduled? And if not, when?
Lastly, is Dr. Anthony Fauci& #39;s job at risk?

@realDonaldTrump quoted-tweeted this tweet yesterday, that includes the hashtag #FireFauci.

Fauci has been the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984.

(More context in next tweet)
The president& #39;s tweet came after Dr. Fauci spoke with CNN& #39;s @jaketapper on Sunday morning & generated this headline: "If #COVID19 mitigation efforts started earlier, & #39;you could have saved lives.& #39;"

Fauci: If Covid-19 mitigation efforts started earlier, "you could have saved lives"

Dr. Anthony Fauci said some lives would have been saved if mitigation efforts to control the coronavirus pandemic had been instituted earlier.

Before Dr. Fauci& #39;s interview on CNN, the @nytimes published this piece:

"He Could Have Seen What Was Coming: Behind Trump’s Failure on the Virus"

He Could Have Seen What Was Coming: Behind Trump’s Failure on the Virus

An examination reveals the president was warned about the potential for a pandemic but that internal divisions, lack of planning and his faith in his own instincts led to a halting response.
