Members of the Coronavirus Task Force Hold a Press Briefing via @YouTube
rations equipment to where it's most needed.
Next couple weeks deaths will rise. Not as much as thought but a lot of death. be prepared.
It's so bad for our country. It's so bad for the world. During National emergency it's essential that the government can cut through the bullshit put out by the media.
Virus impact constantly changing
Areas not being impacted are requesting large
(States are basically trying to hoard supplies to calm themselves)
Using the DPA, very powerfully. FEMA has ordered 180 million. working with 3M. Retaliziation against 3M. Our people need to come first.
Supply chain people in FEMa will
We can't be playing politics with this.
Asking states to provide fed gov with data on ventilators and % being used.
Oregon is sending 400 excess ventilators to NY. We are all in this together.
Keep farmers and ranchers in our prayers
Thanks American people for their sacrifices. It's not pleasant. Keep following the guidelines.
This virus is very contagious. This won't be long. Keep it going for a little while longer.
Dr. Fauci speaking now. Speaking about what we will need to return to work...Deaths will go up in the next couple weeks but a cascading of events.
??1000 medical military people to NYC??
Yes
??Second task force to open country??
Yes I'm thinking about it....The cure can not be worse than the problem itself.
Yes, we have to get back to normal after this is over. We aren't going to be separation for the rest of our lives. It's for a short period of time.
I'm not committing to any date. IT will depend on facts on the ground.
???Political convention plans??
Yes, we will have it as scheduled.
Will maybe need more money for small businesses.
Maybe tax deductions for restaurants and entertainment expenses including sports leagues
???as few lives lost...why does some states not have stay at home?
We have this thing called Constitution
The press really wants the entire country shutdown
??Which is it lives vs economy??
We are paying people not to go to work.
??IG firing??
I thought he did a terrible job. He took a fake whistle blower report and brought it to Congress on a perfect call. We offered the IG to see the exact conversation and after he saw it..it was perfect conversation
That man is a disgrace to the IG
???something about gov Cuomo wanting 40,000 and china giving them some??
Trump he was given the ventilators by
??? on the reproduction rate of the virus as it come down??
Models are being reevaluated with mitigation. Won't know if models are right until after
??on firing of capt from USS carrier??
We have a nuclear aircraft carrier with 100 people infected. He let his sailors get off in Vietnam then he wrote a letter that he shouldn't have done.
??Biden just attacked you in a tweet???
He didn't write that tweet. He probably isn't watching right now and if he is he doesn't understand what we are saying....lol
???Plan for a second wave??
Yes we have a plan.. once we get through this we will go to containment and use surveillance testing, contact tracing.
Dr. Hahn.someone that has recovered and doesn't have the virus will donate plasma and that plasma is taking and worked to give treatment(college students know about plasma donations I gave twice a week for beer money in college) If you had mono you made big $
We are very disappointed in 3M...there has been no act of privacy..3M has not treated our country well and if they don't...they will pay a hell of a price...
We don't have enough data on it yet.
Trump I hope they use the malaria drug...what do you have to lose...I hope they use it. We have a lot stockpiled. We are getting more of it. I hope they use it. Study out there that people have lupus dont get virus.
???OPEC and Oil??
I've been against OPEc all my life. I don't care about it. I think they will settle it or they will destroy themselves.
He is dealing with this like everyone else. Not happy but dealing with it.
??????
Trump do you ever stop with the questions
??jobs report yesterday. Any sign of optimism??
Jobs numbers are what they are. We asked everyone to go home so they
But some good things may come from this. If we didn't shale hands flu will drop by 50%
??anything people can do to show support for healthcare workers??
Dr. Fauci: no one can really understand what they are going through. To see what these brave warriors are doing in the hospitals every single day putting themselves at risk and people owe them their gratitude.
Trump: also Army corp of engineers, FEMA and national guard are going above and beyond the call of duty. It's been amazing. I'm so proud of this country. Other countries are handling this well also. Think of Palm Sunday and Easter. maybe we can allow services on Easter
but our healthcare workers are so brave. Some of those people are going to die but they go in there every day.
It will be a tool to get people back to work
??how quickly can it scale up testing??
Relatively quickly.
??Confidence level on 30 day guideance??
Dr. Fauci tough to but a number on it but if we do well on the guidelines I have confidence that it will turn
Trump mitigation does work but we won't destroy our country. What we are doing right now is going to be successful but we have a big decision to make soon. The cure can not be worse than the problem.
Could be but also it could be overestimating the need. We have a good plan to take from areas that won't be as badly hit as we thought before.
These are expensive products that take time $55,000 and a lot of people didn't buy them
On most cases the numbers are tracking with what we thought...in some cases it's under those numbers...
Dr. Brix. If you look at Metro areas. All of those counties are on the upside of their curve
We are watching them and hoping mitigation will blunt the curve we are starting to see. This is the moment you need to do everything you can to keep to the guidelines. This is the most important moment.
Trump explains that he talks about the malaria drug because your odds aren't good if you need a ventilator.
Thanks OR gov for giving NY 140 of their ventilators. Help thy neighbor.
Also watching Boston Metro.
Sending ventilators to all these areas.
???PPP programs problems??
Trump we are so far ahead of schedule. It's working great so far. This is working so well.
??Dr. birx demographics changed??
Dr. Birx same patterns..
??Restricting flights from hotspots??
We are looking at it
??What kind of testing??
both foreign and domestic..
??Jack Ma giving Ventilators?
Yes, he is a friend and we thank him for his efforts...
We are getting to the peak and it will be a bad for next couple weeks.
Well that's it for the day. It's a beautiful day out go enjoy it.
