This is the 42nd hostage returned to the USA under Trump

Yesterday Trump signed into law the relief for sick leave and family medical leave.

anti-viral medicine, we can move on much faster

OIL is up 23%....Dow up +400pts

Clinical trails are underway on anti-viral medicine.

We have a couple that are showing great promise and are available for immediate use.

Right to try.....where someone who is ill can use these medicine

This, what the FDA is going to talk about, is beyond right to try. But right to try has been a incredible success.

Drug called cholorquin/hydorxcholorquim...used for malaria and arthritis. Drug has been around for a long time and is considered safe but powerful. Has shown

very very good early results and is now available by prescription. FDA has approved it for use for china virus.

individual states and doctors can prescript it.

Also studying other drugs by Gilead. ?Rasdeimvir?sp??

is close to being approved by FDA for use on China virus.

?Regenion??sp? company looking at some promising drugs.

So two drugs now available. Could be a game changer...maybe not. The speed of these actions is unprecedented. FDA working at Trump speed.

Tremendous spirit in this country. Most people are listening and staying home. Congress and admin working well together. American public rising to the occasion. Never been anything like this in history. But this is a medical war.

Introduces FDA director Steven Hahn.

FDA head thanks Trump for his leadership and thanks the staff of the FDA.

He was a cancer doctor before the FDA.

Providing hope is essential but he won't provide false hope.

FDA responsibility is to ensure products are safe and they will continue to do that.

FDA has been working with CDC since early Jan, long before the first case.

Great American innovators are engaged. We need the data to make sure these work. The right drug at the right dosage at the right time. 17,000 people in FDA working on this issue.

compassionate use. speedy approval

FDA and infectious disease group are looking at drugs already approved for other uses so they know it's safe for humans. President assigned them this task. covelanance plasma. Collect's blood from those that have recovered and give the plasma to other people creating immune

...response...not there yet but they are working on it.

Vaccine trial is being performed. 12 months at least until approval.

record time for development

FDA is all hands on deck. Will make sure whatever medicine is approved will not do more harm then good.

VP Pence now speaking.

Pres spoke with healthcare workers yesterday...also a call with 5,000 state and local officials yesterday.

Senate begins on economic package.

meeting at fema with teleconference with governors.

testing now available in all 50

All testing results must now be reported to the CDC so that we have the most up-to-date data.

We will see more cases as testing come online. This isn't a spike in infections. So better information

Supplies available across the country not just in federal storage.

Companies like Honeywell and 3M are now producing millions of N95 masks. Construction companies are donating their masks to hospitals.

ventilators, identified 10,000's , that can be converted to treat patients.

15 days to slow the spread. 12 days to go.

Americans as a whole remain at low risk but all should practice steps outlined like social distancing.

FEMA will be directing national response

Dr. Brix.

the increase in cases is due to backlog of tests being done. IT will increase for the next several day. Number of test positives rates increasing. now 10-11% positive. 50% of the cases come form 10 counties.

Thanks healthcare for cancelling all elective surgeries. And construction companies for donating. Increasing 75-90% supplies thanks to President suggesting construction companies do it.

Surgeon General now speaking.

Surgeon General requests Americans to donate blood. It's a need in the country now. Make an appointment to spread it out but It's something that is needed.

Now press questions.

first ?? Will the relief stop stock buybacks....President says he is okay with making sure relief doesn't include the ability to use funds for that.

next ?? why hasn't he used the defense production act yet?

Trump it's not needed yet because companies are already stepping up without being told. He has it in case he needs it.

?? what drugs in the pipeline??

FDA other drugs are in pipeline.

?? question on hostage...do we know if he is still alive..

No but we continue to hope.

?? on masks???

honeywell re-purposed a factory to produce 120 million masks per year.

3m increasing production 35 million /month.

supply has greatly expanding in several ways donations, production. Masks are available now. 35 million were produced in JAN and all can now be sold to hospitals be changing the law. They are in the marketplace now. Trump time.

???will you give hospitals $100 billion which is what they say they need??

Trump is looking at it.

??When will things go back to normal???🙄🙄🙄 It's been a week people.

Trump says when it can be....We could have stopped this in its tracks but China hid it.

Trump we were very prepared. We weren't prepared for the media onslaught. When I put the travel ban NBC called me a racist. Now other countries are doing what I did.

???on other equipment???

Trump, governors are suppose to order these supplies. They were able to before

...but now they are crying for the Fed gov to do it. It's fine we can help them but they can do it also.

??? can you explain the gap form what you are saying and facts on the ground??

Trump I can't explain it because I'm not seeing a gap. The system is working well.

???Backlash among Congressional republicans???

Trump we aren't picking winners or losers. This is not the industries fault. He thinks there will be good support

??? on overseas travel??

We are working on it will probably warn Americans from traveling overseas.

??? to FDA on safety of drugs???

FDA is working making sure all drugs recommended will be safe. clinical trials are being used just like before. But these drugs are already seen to be safe in humans.

??15 day guidance. will it be extended??
Trump says we are at day 14....

...some local hot spots are basically quarantining now. He will have to wait to see if the 15 days beyond 15 days need to be extended across the country.

??do you believe China???
Trump it would be much better if we would have known earlier.

Trump who knows if it's true but I hope it is(current data from China no new cases)

???Are you thinking about changing supply lines???

He doesn't want to talk about that.

???Unemployment spike, is government prepared for that???

We might not see a major spike. Mnuchin was

giving worst case....

???Congress is now testing positive??

Says reporters are sitting too close...will probably have to limit it to a few going forward....YESSSSSSSS!!!!

Says Congress people putting themselves in self quarantine are reacting properly.

???should government take an equity stake in certain companies??

He does...especially those companies that did things wrongly over the last couple years like move plants out of the US

missed the last question....He says it would be a good thing if they didn't have to use executive power.

???Question on his economy??

Trump we will be able to tell in the next couple weeks.

??Question on returning kids to school??
Dr. Brix...it's a local and state matter

Federal government will give out guidelines based on models but it's a state and local issue. However, they should follow the guidelines

???Latin american countries should their leaders stop massive gatherings.???

Trump basically says that's their decision.

??how can Americans get home that are stranded overseas??

Trump working with military to get them home.

???on Olympics??? should they be delayed???

He has talked with PM Abe. no decision made.

??on oil markets has he talked SA and Russia to limit production??

Trump is has always been for the consumer and low gasoline but it hurts a great industry. He spoke with a lot of

in the industry...Trying to find some middle ground between the two.

??on cruise ships being used as additional bed space if needed?

places to stay. Carnival has offered.

??? on who needs tests???

Trump says if you have symptoms and people that have DR. that say they shouldn't get it shouldn't ..

?? on calling it china virus???

dear god make these people stop. Is it racist??

Trump says it amazes me on what he reads and the crap these people come up with. Because he knows the truth.

It's more corrupt news than fake news.

article in WSJ is totally fake and dishonest.

Trump press is very dishonest. Says the fake media is siding with China. Why they are doing that I have no idea ask them.

Trump ends the conference reminding people the news of medicine is very positive and exciting.

IT COULD end this quickly....

another ??? on medicine and vaccine??

off the shelf drug is better because we already know a lot about it.

?? can vaccine be fast tracked??

maybe..no promises can be made but it's possible.

Trump is talking now but I can't hear. My audio went out....

I missed the very end but the PC is now over. Thanks for following along. This is great news. The press are idiots. Don't listen to them. Watch this press conference. Tons of information was given. Nothing was sugar coated. These are run very professional and worth your time.
