Trump may have lied about comatose 'friend with coronavirus'.
Mr. Chera, 78, became sick at some point in Deal, and was rushed to NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia hospital, according to two of Mr. Chera’s friends. Two of those friends said Mr. Chera was in a medically induced coma.
But it is unclear whether he has tested positive for the coronavirus. One of the friends said his condition had been described as viral pneumonia.
Mr. Chera’s assistant did not respond to a message seeking comment. A White House spokeswoman declined to comment.
Mr. Trump described a friend being stricken by the “viciousness” of the coronavirus and falling into a coma in remarks on Sunday, the first time he mentioned someone he knew becoming sick with the virus. Then, on Monday, he said more than one friend had been affected.
“You see the numbers. You see the numbers like I see the numbers. I have some friends that are unbelievably sick,” Mr. Trump told reporters in the Rose Garden, leaving the impression that those friends had weighed on him as he made the decision to extend the guidelines for social distancing through April 30.

Poor guy. 
He didn’t go to a single funeral. Though he saw Muslims dancing in the streets celebrating, and he rushed down to the towers to help out.
