@SecPompeo: US Repatriation efforts one of the largest undertaken. 58k Americans brought home thus far.

We continue to help countries across the world thru CDC.

POTUS:
- 30 mill HydroxyChloroquine pills in the federal stockpile
- CDC to issue updated guidance to frontline responders
- US spent last year $452mill on WHO while China paid $42mill. Yet WHO covers for China transgressions.

POTUS: $350 Bill Small business loan program to be expanded by $250 bill this week, Congress willing.

POTUS: We will also invest in American infrastructure; build up America instead of pouring out to other countries. Time to build up America.

VP Pence: The losses as egregious as they are reflect those who contracted virus before full mitigation was implemented. The more optimistic numbers lately showing a possible leveling off of infections is reflective of the national effort.

VP PENCE: Spoke with Henry Ford Hospital about the HydroxyChloroquine trials.

- begins this week using 3k
- overwhelming response from the trial from those wishing to participate

TaskForce on Airbridge: more than 50 flights from around the world directed by FEMA to determine communities most in need.

Dr. Birx: Daily Coronavirus cases by major city
- 11k cases per day NYC/Metro
- 1400 cases per day Detroit
- 1400 cases per day Philadelphia

Dr Fauci: Mitigation is, at this time, the best and only tool we have to fight against this virus.
