Washington, April 11 (RHC)-- U.S. President Donald Trump continued to ignore the urgent pleas of public health officials as he once again called on the U.S. to reopen much of its economy in early May.  Trump admitted coronavirus testing would not be widely available by then, but insisted his plan wouldn’t risk a second wave of coronavirus infections and deaths. 

Over one million people across the U.S. have been tested for the coronavirus -- just a fraction of 1% of the population.  After National Public Radio reported the Trump administration was preparing to end federal support for coronavirus testing sites around the U.S. on Friday, the Department of Health and Human Services reversed course and said it will continue to fund 41 community testing sites around the U.S.
