Time for Dad to fire up some CCP presstitutes & whiny little children again:
@POTUS starts off by edifying the amazing job by Americans in this fight (military, food processors & healthcare) and then bring up an important point.
Original models predicted up to 2mm dead w/o mitigation, up to 200k w/ mitigation.
Don't let yourself forget that the models-

Don't let yourself forget that the models-
were done with the idea of social distancing already factored in (for those trying to say that was what led to the much better outcome we've had rather than @realDonaldTrump moving heaven & earth to take care of Americans)
Experts say curve is flattened & peak is behind it.

We closed the greatest economy in the history of the world to win this war, and we're winning it now
Not opening all at once, but 1 careful step at a time, some states able to open sooner than others
Now that we've passed peak in new cases, time to start our life again

thing bc commercial labs are no longer the only place to get tested

She calls out that many in media have already spoken on TV about the new guidelines (before they were briefed)

schools, daycares & camps can re-open. Hospitals & elder care facilities prohibit visits
Phase 3: return to "new normal." Cont hygiene (you dirty SOBs) & distancing. More focused on finding asymptomatic ppl here as a "safety net" centered around our most vulnerable groups

IOT even consider getting into phasing, we have to pass a hurdle (gating in)
Some regions/states/locations already have fulfilled some of the criteria, others will take longer to get there
*each phase is based on no rebound when an area moves into a phase

...some states have very strict sanctions on ppl. I think American ppl have been incredible. They seem to be protestors who like me, so I think they'll listen to me. We have large sections right now that can start thinking about opening. Like masks, I asked why would they wear -
masks in areas that aren't that hard hit?

*So, I just want to add...not sure if it was the WHCA or the MSM bosses, but somebody obviously "got the memo" that people were really hating the normal SOP for the press to ask stupid Qs and act like asses. Qs have actually been normal today, no hostility or gotchas
one Q about dates, specifically 4th of July, Memorial Day, Pentacost
-don't want to put things on a timeline since some states will be different
-don't want to put things on a timeline since some states will be different
Q: states not ready to go to Phase 1, do we know how many millions of tests they'll need?
-Birx: we have a lot of capacity right now (at least 1mm/week) in the country since many have switched to the POC testing instead of clinical labs

@POTUS says I want to conclude by saying what a great job everyone is doing (mentions everyone by name) and that we're going to be re-opening our country, then peaces out.
