POTUS: “No matter where you look, this is something that is an invisible enemy.”
Trump, falsely: “We have a problem that a month ago nobody ever thought about.”
Weird that Trump today did not deploy his proven method of making up a Google website to goose the market.

Rep. Katie Porter writing the cost of testing on a white board while grilling the CDC's Redfield.
Porter got Redfield, after he punted several times, to agree that CDC would cover the costs of coronavirus testing for all Americans, regardless of whether they have health insurance: "I think you're an excellent questioner so my answer is yes." c-span.org/video/?470277-…
Part of what's good about this is Porter's recognition that a congressional hearing is theater. It's for public consumption. She used a prop to communicate the cost of tests and the public setting to get Redfield to commit. Kind of ideal oversight. motherjones.com/politics/2020/…

The White House knew these guys were testifying on the Hill. They set this conflicting meeting anyway. They were either indifferent to this oversight hearing or actively trying to shorten it.
Asked about this, the WH acknowledges they scheduled a coronavirus meeting that conflicted with the House Oversight hearing: “This meeting was scheduled yesterday and is part of the Administration’s ongoing whole-of-government response to the Coronavirus," a WH official says.
Meanwhile, the Oversight Committee says: "This hearing will resume tomorrow morning at 11AM."

In case you've only seen the headline, here's the full text:

"The level of media opposition and snark against President Trump is simply so ridiculous at this point there’s a desperation to it.

So let us consider…

Following the initial reports from China – and anticipating multiple agency aspects of U.S. government would need a unified command structure – on January 30th President Trump assembled a unified task force to coordinate all response efforts across the totality of government.
The task force is coordinated through the National Security Council. It is composed of subject matter experts from White House and several United States Government agencies, and it includes some of the Nation’s foremost experts on infectious diseases.
