An internal government watchdog issued a sobering report on the situation in US hospitals battling coronavirus. Here's a look at what hospitals were experiencing based on report findings, and how the White House was describing the situation at the time.
On Monday, an internal government watchdog issued a sobering report on the situation inside US hospitals battling the coronavirus. Based on interviews with more than 300 hospital administrators over four days in late March, the report describes a dire situation for front-line doctors and medical staff beset by"severe" and"widespread" shortages of key medical supplies, as well as persistent problems and delays with testing.
Those details stand in stark contrast to the story that the Trump administration has told, and undercuts President Donald Trump's assertion that hospitals have what they need. Asked about the report during Monday's coronavirus briefing, President Trump baselessly called it wrong and suggested, without evidence, it was politically motivated.
