Trump claims disinfectant comments were sarcastic after doctor condemnation
President Trump on Friday claimed he was being sarcastic when he suggested health officials look into treating COVID-19 with measures like injecting disinfectants or hitting lungs with a 'tremendous' amount of ultraviolet or 'very powerful light.' His comments were widely criticized, and health experts slammed his suggestion, which came during one of Trump's widely-viewed coronavirus briefings, as 'irresponsible' and 'dangerous,' seeing as disinfectants can be poisonous or deadly if ingested or injected, which Lysol warned. The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Trump said he brought it up 'sarcastically to reporters' to 'see what would happen.' The speculation about disinfectants was not interpreted as a joke by many viewers: The state of Maryland confirmed it had 'received several calls regarding questions about disinfectant use' as it pertains to curing COVID-19.

President Trump on Friday signed a $484 billion coronavirus relief bill after it was passed by both chambers of Congress this week. The relief package includes more than $300 billion to replenish the Paycheck Protection Program, which provides forgivable loans to small businesses and recently ran out of money. It also includes $75 billion for hospitals and $25 billion for coronavirus testing but does not include money for states and local governments. Lawmakers will turn to the next phase of coronavirus relief after the passage of this interim bill, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has said he wants the full Senate to return to Washington.

CBO predicts nearly 40 percent GDP drop this quarter
The Congressional Budget Office on Friday predicted the U.S. GDP will contract 39.6 percent year over year during the second fiscal quarter of the year, which runs from April through June. The nonpartisan group forecasts an 11.8 percent drop from Q1 of 2020. The CBO ascribes the massive contraction to the coronavirus pandemic and 'the social distancing measures put in place to contain it.' It predicts economic activity will restart in Q3, leading to a 5.4 percent growth year over year in that quarter, or a 23.5 percent jump from Q2. The CBO says the unemployment rate will only continue to grow, hitting an estimated 16 percent in Q3, and efforts to mitigate the economic woes are expected to lead to a federal deficit of $3.7 trillion by the end of 2020.

The United States crossed a grim threshold on Friday, officially recording its 50,000th death attributed to COVID-19. The U.S. now accounts for almost a third of the confirmed coronavirus cases worldwide, and more than a quarter of the deaths. Many experts believe the toll of the disease in the U.S. is being underreported, due to insufficient testing and excess mortalities. America's confirmed coronavirus deaths have now outpaced predictions by experts, who estimated last week that 47,000 would be dead by May 1, a number the country instead hit on Wednesday, April 22. 'Just a few days from now,' writes The New Yorker, 'more Americans will have died from COVID-19 than the entire toll from the Vietnam War.' The Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., contains 58,320 names.

Adm. Mike Gilday, the Chief of Naval Operations, reportedly recommended to Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Friday that Capt. Brett Crozier be reinstated as commanding officer of the USS Theodore Roosevelt. Crozier was ousted over his warning about a coronavirus outbreak on his ship earlier this month. Crozier had written a four-page letter asking for help containing a COVID-19 outbreak on the ship, which leaked to the press. He was relieved of command on April 2, with then-Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly saying it was because he sent the letter over 'non-secure unclassified email.' Modly later resigned after apologizing for calling Crozier either 'too naive or too stupid' to run the ship. Esper has reportedly not made a final decision on whether to reinstate Crozier.
