Fox News host Sean Hannity, who in recent days has pivoted away from downplaying the dangers of the coronavirus pandemic, now seems to be hyping up President Donald Trump's efforts to contain the disease.


In a tweet published Wednesday afternoon, Hannity previewed an interview with Vice President Mike Pence that will air on his show -- and he gushed that Pence would be announcing "tens of thousands of coronavirus tests available in days ahead."

These numbers are not very impressive, however, as Pence promised just days ago that millions more tests would be available within a week.

Given that many doctors are saying that there is still a massive shortage of tests available, Hannity's boasts about such a small number of tests earned him swift ridicule from his Twitter followers.
