VP Pence, Adm. Giroir, Sec. Azar, Surgeon General Adams & Commissioner Hahn sharing the latest on coronavirus at the US Public Health Service Commissionned Corps HQ in Rockville, Maryland. Dr. Birx is traveling in Arizona & Dr. Fauci is not here for this task force briefing. Image
VP Pence: "The American people deserve to know that we're in a much better place today" due to testing/supplies

Dr. Fauci earlier: "We are now having 40K+ new cases a day. I would not be surprised if we go up to 100K a day if this does not turn around & so I am very concerned"
Everyone wore masks on their way to the podium & VP Pence continued to encourage Americans to wear face coverings when social distancing isn't possible. This is a change from Friday's briefing. Pence made the new plea more emphatically Sunday in Dallas and is now repeating it.
.@Surgeon_General Adams: "This virus is exploiting and exacerbating" existing inequity and disparities in communities of color disproportionately. Calls on Americans not to lose focus on this important point.
Adams: "Please, please, please wear a face mask." He implores people to view it as "an instrument of freedom" if everyone listens to their advice and uses one so the spread of coronavirus can be slowed
VP Pence says the president has "worn a mask in public" but in reality, President Trump wore one briefly behind the scenes at a factory in Michigan (which was captured in a photo) but he told the press traveling with him that he didn't want to wear it in front of them

Toplines from the first Biden White House COVID Response Team briefing: CDC Dir. Walensky says the UK variant has been detected in 26 states so far but the South African one has not been identified here yet.
Dr. Fauci explained that's why scientists are working on booster shots now for the current vaccine in order to deal with these variants. Still, what exists now is "well within the cushion of protection," he added.
Andy Slavitt, senior adviser to the White House, says about 6% of the U.S. population has received 1 or more doses of vaccine. Soon: 10 million doses will be allocated across all states weekly & they expect states will have 3 weeks of visibility into supply.

Here's a look at the Charlotte ballroom where the #GOPConvention will soon gavel in. The RNC told its delegates to expect to wear a mask in the convention center. The city of Charlotte requires face coverings in all buildings & facilities owned by the city. Image
Per poolers in the room, not everyone is wearing masks. Each attendee was told to acquire a negative COVID test before coming to Charlotte & each received a test from community health partners upon arrival in Charlotte. There are about 336 delegates gathered + 60 RNC staffers. ImageImage
Update: Once the program officially got underway, all delegates put on their masks, from the vantage point of reporters in the room. Image

Dr. Fauci to Ryan Zimmerman (!) of the world champion @Nationals: "We're not ready to just jump back into normality by any means"
Dr. Fauci: "Next fall, next winter, it's not gonna be a miracle where all of a sudden we wake up and it's gone... We will see this again and again until we really stick the nail in the coffin of this outbreak by a vaccine"
Brooklyn bred Dr. Fauci with extremely important information: "I love the Nats."

Says he couldn't make it to any of the post-season games last year but watched them all. Zimm suggests he now has a pretty good ticket hookup if needed.

The Trump campaign is starting its first virtual panel in the age of coronavirus tonight with Lara Trump, Kayleigh McEnany and Chris Carr. The broadcast opened with a video montage of lawmakers and leaders praising the president's pandemic response, set to music.
About 8K people are tuned in on Facebook & it's streaming on other platforms as well. Campaign officials shared their own experiences working from home one moment & slammed Dems the next. "Nancy Pelosi is shamelessly using this moment," Chris Carr said. Image
The Trump campaign livestream seems to be experiencing some technical difficulties now. The audio has dropped entirely. Image
