Trump: "I want Americans to know that we will get through this challenge. The hardship will end, it will end soon. Normal life will return. And our economy will rebound very, very strongly. But right now...Americans must remain united in purpose and focused on victory."
Trump says the focus right now is saving lives. He calls for protecting the Asian American community. Echoing his tweet, he says the spreading of the virus isn't their fault. And he adds, "They're working closely with us to get rid of it." (A notable "they" and "us" here.)
Trump: "We will be using data to recommend new protocols to allow local economies to cautiously resume their activity at the appropriate time." He says they'll await "the OK" from "the medical community," then adds, "Our country wasn't built to be shut down."

Trump: "America will again, and soon, be open for business. Very soon. A lot sooner than three or four months that somebody was suggesting. A lot sooner. We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself."

Dr. Fauci is not at the White House coronavirus briefing. Attorney General Barr is at the briefing.

Good grief.
No more Yankees in Florida, by order of DiSantis. He says they're escaping NY's stay at home order. Miami Beach and several other cities just instituted similar orders. I think it's effective policy.

In order words, no more old people. Most of those spring breakers infecting themselves and people around them weren't rooting for the Giants and Yankees

My read on Barr using my lifelong poker skillz is I'm going to start eating icecream cake with my hands.

Trump says he signed an executive order to prohibit "the hoarding of vital medical equipment and supplies," including hand sanitizer and masks.
Trump says certain supplies will be designated as "scarce," and so it will be "a crime" to stockpile them in excessive quantities, "which is happening to a relatively small degree."

There's no point for networks to cover these briefings live if Fauci isn't there.

hoarding & price gouging seem like good things for your local mayor or possibly state AG to focus on
telling business to make masks, gloves & ventilators would be something the POTUS could focus on

Barr is outlining the order on the hoarding and price gouging of vital supplies. Though Trump mentioned masks and hand sanitizer, Barr says no items have been designated yet; HHS has been given the authority to designate items.

Birx: 99% of coronavirus mortality in Europe is people over 50 and with pre-existing conditions.
Birx: Self-swab tests will be available "sometime this week."

All this talk of hoarding is starting to bother me. Just for the record I only have 4 rolls of toilet paper right now.

Cant imagine the self swab tests will be that accurate...will people be able to do it thoroughly enough? A lot of false negatives?
I hope they are effective...but dont trust people

What Dr. Birx said about laboratories prioritizing hospitalized patients for processing test results is important in interpreting the data. Those tests are likely to show higher rates of positives than tests conducted among non-hospitalized patients.

So instead of ensuring law enforcement can adequately enforce laws, they're apparently going to be doing a literal roll call, and confiscate the stuff from people who have too much? Who decides how much is too much? Isn't there a Constitutional amendment against that sort of thing? Granted, I bet Trump doesn't care, but still.

Pence thanks companies for stepping forward to create ventilators. He says there's been "a real breakthrough" on ventilators via a survey of outpatient surgical centers and hospital operating rooms; surgical ventilators can "be easily converted now" for people with the virus.

Fox headline: Trump trying to make it "Much less bad".
He's out of his mind! Why does he not get that this is not something he can say "Ok, we did 2 weeks of half-##### measures, we should be good." What??He’s going to try to open everything up in 7 days
The only way my ### is getting out of the house in 7 days is if Fauci tells me so. Of course I have the ability to work from home easyHe’s going to try to open everything up in 7 days

Asked about there being more than 100 coronavirus deaths today and Surgeon General Adams saying it's going to get really bad, and whether he shares that prognosis, Trump says, "Of course I do." He said, "We're trying to make it so that it's much, much less bad."
Trump says "the numbers are pretty amazing," in a good way, for the US, given how many people the US has compared to other countries. (Other countries are at different time points on the curve.)
Trump to a question about the rising death toll: "It's bad, and obviously the numbers are going to increase with time, and they're going to start to decrease, and we're going to be opening our country up for business, because our country was meant to be open."
Asked how to reconcile the two things he just said -- it's going to get worse, and our country should be open for business -- and what he'd say if he got medical advice to continue these measures, Trump says, "We'll see what happens...we can do two things at one time."
