Today's guidance from dear leader:
"It could be a game changer, or maybe not."
"It's a very exciting time for medicine."
"There's never been anything like this." (repeat 5x)

Pence is explaining that in the coming days we will see explosive growth in the number of COVID-19 cases diagnosed, but assures us that this "should not be a cause for concern." Because this merely reflects the fact the virus was already everywhere and we simply weren't testing.
Dr. Birx uses this stat to explain that "90% of illnesses out there, even the severe ones are not COVID-19." Very unclear what point she's trying to make here.
For once, Fox's John Roberts uses his privileged position of a guaranteed question to ask something useful: why did Trump invoke the Defense Production Act but not actually pull the trigger to put it into effect? Trump says states should be doing that kind of thing, not the feds.
Trump explains that obtaining N95 masks, ventilators, etc., is something "the governors are supposed to be doing."
Just like the COVID-19 testing, Trump adds. The states were responsible for making sure that testing was available.

In response to another question about Trump's reticence to actually put the Defense Production Act into effect, Trump gets snappy and tells the reporter, "You don't know what's been ordered, what's been done."
Trump explains that the U.S.'s system for responding to the pandemic was obsolete, so "We had to break the system, like breaking an egg."
A reporter form OANN asks a question. Trump interrupts her to say, "OANN, thank you very much. You treat me very well."
The OANN reporter's question: "Is it alarming that the media has teamed up with Chinese Communist Party narratives" to accuse you of racism?

OANN: Does the media side with Chinese Communist Party propaganda?
Trump: I think they do.
Trump: I think they do.
Trump is hyping Chloroquine as a potential miracle cure that could just clear up the whole COVID-19 problem very quickly.
Incredibly irresponsible. Trump is basically Jim Bakker.
