CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: [Reporter: “Mr. President, on testing: Yesterday, you said that we will very soon be testing 5 million people…”] “Everyone kept saying, ‘You said there’d be five.’ That was a study that came out. Somebody came out with a study of 5 million people… Do I think we will? I think we will, but I never said it. We’re testing millions of people…
But somebody started throwing around 5 million. I didn’t say 5 million. Somebody said 5 million. I think it might have been the Harvard report. There was a report from Harvard and they said 5 million…
But I didn’t say it. I mean, I didn’t say it. But somebody came out with a report saying 5 million. It sounds like a lot.”
