President Trump took time during Tuesday’s coronavirus news briefing at the White House to acknowledge the job being done by the medical staff at Elmhurst Hospital in Queens, N.Y.

The hospital, located not far from the neighborhood where Trump grew up, has been among those overwhelmed as New York City and New York state handle the greatest number of coronavirus patients in the nation.

“I watched the doctors and nurses walking into the hospital this morning and it is like military people going into battle, going into war. The bravery is incredible,” Trump told reporters. “If I were wearing a hat, I'd rip that hat off so fast and I would say, 'You people are just incredible.’”

From what the President is hearing, that’s not the case.

I’ve read some of his lifelong friends from Queens are on their deathbeds.

During his press conference he mentioned a friend of his with it in a hospital.

Trump said something like “He’s a little bit older...a little bit heavier than he wants to be...so we’ll see.” I’m guessing that Trump knows hundreds (thousands?) of people in New York, so it wouldn’t be surprising.

“You see the numbers like I see the numbers,” Mr. Trump told reporters at the White House on Monday. “I have some friends who are unbelievably sick. We thought they were going in for a mild [hospital] stay, and in one case he’s unconscious in a coma. You say, ‘How did that happen?’”
