Trump on 200K COVID-19 deaths: 'It's a shame'

President Trump on Tuesday offered his first reaction to the United States surpassing 200,000 deaths from COVID-19, telling reporters it was "a shame" but that it could have been worse.
"I think it’s a shame. I think if we didn’t do it properly and do it right you’d have 2.5 million deaths," he told reporters.
Trump initially ignored a question about why he hadn't said anything about the grim milestone before answering the same question from another reporter. He pointed to his decision to limit travel into the country from China and Europe.
"But it’s a horrible thing. Should have never, ever happened," Trump said. "China let this happen, and just remember that."
Experts have credited the restrictions on travel from China in late January with buying the U.S. more time to respond, though the decision to block travel from Europe came in mid-March, after the virus had likely spread throughout the country.
The United States earlier Tuesday recorded 20…

Air Force Two returns to New Hampshire airport after striking bird

Air Force Two was forced to turn around shortly after taking off from New Hampshire after striking a bird, a White House official said Tuesday.
The plane returned to Manchester Airport out of an abundance of caution, the official said. Vice President Pence and staff traveling with him were expected to return to Washington, D.C., on a cargo plane.
Pence was in the Granite State for a campaign rally at Laconia Airport on Tuesday afternoon. The Trump campaign has eyed New Hampshire as one of just a few states it could flip from blue to red in November.
Tuesday's mechanical issue is the latest travel snafu the vice president has had since he was added to the GOP ticket in 2016.
His campaign plane slid off the runway at Laguardia Airport in New York City while he was on the trail in 2016. The vice president and others on board were not injured.
The vice president's campaign bus was also involved in a minor accident in late July during a tour of Pennsylvania. An official characterized i…

COVID-19 testing firm used by Texas under federal scrutiny

A testing firm used by the state of Texas is under federal scrutiny for problems that call into question the accuracy of the company’s COVID-19 test results, according to an investigation by the Dallas Morning News. The newspaper reported on Friday that the state had suspended business with NovaDX, also known as Nova Labs, but only after being notified that the news media was aware of the federal investigation.
The state had previously halted business with the California-based firm back in June after questions about the accuracy of tests done for nursing homes. The state’s review found the problems had been addressed and testing resumed, the DMN reported.
The new concerns allege the company has employed unqualified lab workers and allowed samples to be contaminated. The federal report indicates the deficiencies could cause serious harm or death.
“Nova Labs is committed to operating in accordance with federal and state regulations,” CEO Blake Anderson said in a written statement provide…
