How can President Donald Trump spin his way out of this crisis and win the next Presidential election? 60,000+ deaths is not good for his re-election.

I think that sadly the drop in GDP of almost 5% will have a bigger effect on this than any death count from the virus

Wouldn't surprise me if Texas or some other states use this tactic since the beginning.

Well, Worldometer is taking numbers from each state, and Texas lies at 27k cases. However, it's also one with the lower percentage of people tested, with only 10k per million, or just 1%. Only Kansas, Arizona and Virginia did worse in that remark, and just barely. By comparison, New York tested 4.4% while Rhode Island even 5.6% of their population.
