White House goes quiet on coronavirus as outbreak spikes again across the U.S.

The coronavirus is still killing as many as 1,000 Americans per day - but the Trump administration isn't saying much about it.

It's been more than a month since the White House halted its daily coronavirus task force briefings. Top officials like infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci have largely disappeared from national television - with Fauci making just four cable TV appearances in May after being a near fixture on Sunday shows across March and April - and are frequently restricted from testifying before Congress. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is preparing to resume his campaign rallies after a three-month hiatus, an attempted signal to voters that normalcy is returning ahead of November's election, and that he's all but put the pandemic behind him.

"We've made every decision correctly," Trump claimed in remarks in the Rose Garden on Friday morning. "We may have some embers or some ashes or we may have some flames coming, but we'll put them out. We'll stomp them out."
