The New Yorker is making fun of President Donald Trump's coronavirus press conference on Wednesday with their next cover.

On Thursday, the magazine gave readers a sneak peak at next week's cover, created by Brian Stauffer, which shows the president yelling while wearing a surgical mask over his eyes.

The illustration is called "Under Control," and references comments Trump made at his coronavirus press conference this week, saying "We're doing really well."

According to the magazine , the cover shows how Trump's message "was not entirely persuasive."

While officials in China have been able to stabilize the outbreak at home, the virus' spread globally is worsening, with schools in Japan closed for the next month, high-level Iranian officials getting sick, and quarantines in place for parts of Italy. This week also saw the first case of coronavirus in the US that wasn't tied to recent travel , a sign that the virus is beginning to spread within communities.

On Friday, stocks tumbled globally as questions loomed about how much the coronavirus will impact the economy, and for how long. Trump, no-doubt, has his eyes on the markets as he gears up to run for re-election in the fall, as the economy will be a key indicator of his success.
