???time??
?On face masks Why won't you wear one?
I don't want to. It won't give a good impressions...This will pass. If someone wants to feel free. I won't be doing it.
Surgeon General: Talks about guidance on masks.
CDC/WHO/SG office recommended against general public from wearing masks because evidence said it wouldn't help. Symptomatic people should. We changed because a lot are asymptomatic
because of this CDC is now recommending wearing a cloth face/mask covering...Especially in areas of community spread. the 6ft distance remains the best way to avoid the virus. not recommending N95 or surgical masks for people.
30 days to slow the spread remains best guidance.
wash hands before putting on face mask. Don't touch your face while wearing the mask. It's not a substitute for 6ft social distancing.

????Dr. Fauci recommended every state have stay at home should they??
Trump I'll leave it to the governors.
???Blood supply??
???Oil meeting what come out of it??
A lot of things. All oil execs passed the covid test.
too much oil, there's a glut. I think it will all work out. Will take a long time to work through supply. Gas prices will stay low for a while.

??blood supply??
To ease the requirements
on who can give blood. Are you okay with that. If FDA says it's okay, he is okay with it.

??Where is Dr. Facui??
Trump I don't know. We are covering a different subject today so he wasn't needed today.

??Who dropped the ball?? Jim acosta is an asshole.
Sec Azar...for 15 years we have been preparing for a pandemic Flu. None of that is like what we are seeing today. In Nov President signed a pandemic flu preparedness EO. We have been focused on pandemic parparedness but who would know of this strain.
???so why didn't we have supplies.???
Trump: you know Jim the previous admin left us empty shelves.

???DPA exporting on all PPE??
If someone ordered it long term. He will let those be exported. This covers new shipments.

Cruiseliners allowed to dock today in FL
sent many back to Canada and UK. 3 -05 people died on boat but we took care of them. Under tight security. We had to help them.

???people have to be tested to meet with you??
People feel good about it.
Tests are quick now.
Aboott developed some great test.
???if we stop exports of PPE other countries might stop exports how do you address that??

We are supplying our hospitals and we need to replace our stockpile.

??? did oil company ask for bailouts???
No, tariffs were mentioned.....(oh that's what Trump plans)

???Kushner said
it's not to be a state stockpile but ours. What did he mean by that???🙄🙄
He means the federal government. Our means for the country.

Trump is pissed .....:)

???isn't it designed to be for states if needed??
Sure but It's also for the federal government. We aren't the state's
clerical clearing house. The state are suppose to have their own stockpiles.

??Traffic cop for supplies??
We aren't a traffic cop. These are big decisions. I have to decide due we take them or or let them die. We took them in. We are testing all the others
???Why can't you be a dictator, basically??
We do use the DPA if we need it.

???Do you want to sign the stimulus checks??
No I don't want to sign them there are millions of checks...lol
It's a Trump administration program but I don't want to sign the checks.
??rumor checks won't go out for months??
I don't know anything about that. He wants to give the unemployment money direct but dems wanted states to do it. So if your check is late blame the dems.

??What % of population is asympotmatic??
Dr. Birx we need to get testing better
need antibody test to figure that out. 5 days ago I called on universities to work on these tests. We want test to be like we use for malaria..a finger prick..but we are open to using vial of bloods. Calling for military to test people on ships.
150+ countries working on this
When we get through this we will look back and see what worked and what didn't including models etc. We should concentrate on the present and get through this then we can look back to how this started after.

On feb 3rd WHO said no reason for travel ban.
???Jim... but you said it would go away??

It will go away...

>>Does uninsured include illegals in the country??

We will look at that.

??underlying data??
Talk to Dr.s

??unemployed with no issurance why not obamacare??
Sec Azar...if you get unemployed it's already in the
the law that you can access the exchanges. Pres trump is doing a disease specific payment for virus.

???ventilators to NY??
We are supplying a lot to NY but we have about 7 other hotspots.

???Kushners misspeak yesterday??
No, he said our meaning our country
and to the best of my knowledge the states are part of this country...lol

We have tremendous flexibility now

??why do guidelines keep changing...why aren't you going to wear a mask??
The guidelines aren't mandatory.
CDC director...says the best thing to stop this is 6ft
distance...but the asymptomatic may be spreading so face covering could stop those from transmitting it to some one else.

???Tariffs on oil Saudi Arabia???
tariffs are a good thing. am I doing it on Oil? not at the moment but it's a tool in the toolbox.

??on oil production?
the market place will take care of it if they don't stop because oil will be worthless.

??Why aren't you talking to Pelosi??
If it was important to the American people, I'll talk to her. It isn't. lol

??death toll predictions??
??have models changed??
Dr. Birx
a lot of the work is based on other populations..There is also good models...health data . org data. Last run of that model says 93k deaths. But all of that can be changed by behaviors. If another metro area gets this like NY that will change.
Trump....professionals did the models..he wasn't involved with them...He wants to come under the models predictions.

???Fall election going to open??
The general election will happen on Nov 3rd.
All of a sudden when the GOp is leading the polls the dem gov moves the election
??do you think mail in voting should be a thing??
No because I think they cheat with mail in. I want voter ID you go to vote in person. Mail in voting is open to cheating...

Trump ends the press conference.

that's all folks.

the press sucks donkey balls.
