Trump Says He ‘Doesn’t Care’ About Coronavirus; Father Kidnaps Baby in Trash Bag in NC; and People are Buying Bidets and ‘Bum Guns’ Amid Coronavirus Scare.
Even with coronavirus spreading in Washington, President Donald Trump says he’ll still continue to make physical contact with his fans.
“I’ll be shaking hands with people and they want to say hello and hug you and kiss you, I don’t care. You have to do that,” said Trump.
He also revealed that when he said he hadn’t touched his face in weeks on Wednesday that he was just joking.
“You know, I heard the other day you’re not supposed to touch your face so I went on camera and I said, I’ve not touched my face in weeks. And I miss my face,” he said then.
“Obviously, I was joking,” he confessed.

Vice President Mike Pence said on Thursday that the United States will not be able to deliver one million coronavirus testing kits as promised by the end of the week.
“We don’t have enough tests today to meet what we anticipate the demand going forward.”
Trump had previously blamed former President Obama for the government’s lack of coronavirus testing kits. That idea has since been debunked. Trump then said,
“I don’t blame anybody. I want to get everybody to understand they made some decisions which were not good decisions. We inherited decisions they made and that’s fine. We undid some of their regulations that made it very difficult.”
Donald Trump also said the White House has other important things they need to focus on, saying, “We’re thinking about a lot of other things too, trade and millions of other things.”
Andre Eaton, 38, allegedly kidnapped his 6-month-old baby on Wednesday night in Hillsdale. Hillsdale Police charged him with first-degree endangering the welfare of a child.
Eaton had carried his son away in a trash bag from the 2100 block of Erick Avenue.
Eaton does not live with the baby or the baby’s mother. Police found the newborn safe hours later. They reunited the baby with his mother.

Online and cellular phone searches for ‘bum guns’ and bidets are skyrocketing amid the coronavirus scare. People fear there will eventually be no toilet paper available for purchase.
A company called Australia Bidets said that their traffic increased by 500 percent, along with an increase in inquiries about how long it would take to ship the product to people’s homes.
Another bidet supplier, The Bidet Shop, told 10daily about their supply shortage, “This is an issue we are now suffering. Special deals that have been on for a while have had to be stopped because we can’t discount things we don’t have.”
A spokesperson said that once stock does come back in, the bidets really are a good alternative to using toilet paper.
“Eco bidets use about a teacup of water with each use and about $2.50 worth of electricity a year. If you were at a barbeque and picked up a bit of dog poo and somebody gave you a hamburger to eat, would you wipe your hands with tissues or would you go and wash them with water?”
To be fair, I’d personally be grabbing a bar of soap regardless of either scenario.
