NYT White House reporter Maggie Haberman, who has spent the last 4 days relentlessly chronicling every update in the White House COVID-19 outbreak saga, including Trump's 72-hour stay at Walter Reed, has just reported that Trump is considering giving a nationwide address on Tuesday.

Haberman, who also reported that Trump still sounds "short of breath", citing close aides who still speak with him regularly, linked to a report from the NYT which claimed that a "culture of panic" had replaced the "culture of negligence" at the White House. She described the comms shop as "bereft of people", since the outbreak has taken out both McEnany and some of her top aides.
She added that while Trump stays in the residence, the West Wing has been virtually empty as most White House staffers are working from, either because they have caught the virus, or have been in close contact with somebody who has. She added that the White House "resembled a ghost town" again on Tuesday.
She also confirmed a CNN report claiming another White House aide had tested positive, raising the total infected to an even 30.
Meanwhile, President Trump returned to Twitter Tuesday morning to attack Biden and the Democrats for their support of late-term abortion...
Wow. Joe Biden just took a more Liberal position on Roe...
