Dropping the figure at the outset of a parliamentary meeting, Merkel's proclamation left the room silent, according to a report from Bild, a German tabloid.
Germany has already seen more than 1,400 confirmed cases for COVID-19, the disease resulting from the virus.

1. Absolutely.

2. From something I read on BBC...

Angela Merkel, Boris Johnson, or virtually any Western European leader, can demand the health system start testing everyone. These European leaders have their nation's health systems at their disposal.

Donald Trump does not have a national health system at his disposal. When Mike Pence was asked by a journalist about uninsured people getting tested he didn't answer. It's because he couldn't answer.

It's best to be upfront and honest. Two things Donald Trump isn't very good at.

3. It's good leadership but I don't understand the second question.

Held maybe?
