(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump said he would resume his briefings to the public on the coronavirus pandemic, as infections surge around the country.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office on Monday, Trump said he would probably hold a briefing on Tuesday at 5 p.m. in Washington.

“We have had this big flare up in Florida, Texas, a couple of other places. So I think what we’re going to do is I’ll get involved and we’ll start doing briefings,” Trump said. “Whether it’s this afternoon, tomorrow - probably tomorrow.”

The president held near-daily news conferences on the virus for several weeks before abandoning the practice after he drew criticism for contradicting government scientists and making other controversial statements, including that doctors should investigate injecting disinfectants into Americans as a means of treating coronavirus.

Nothing true or informative in his "briefings". Waste of time to watch or listen to them.

North America. Doctors aren’t exactly sure why but most sufferers report something about a giant talking yam.

"It's beautiful where our cases are going. Just beautiful. The virus should disappear right after I'm done talking, that's how beautiful it is. I'm the only person that can make it go away. The media on the left and Mr. Sleepy over there just want to keep pushing death, I just want to make it beautiful!"
