DoD Web Site shows *NO* briefings or anything else for Esper or anyone else today.
I did too and I must say I found it quite moving, especially the mention of her first broadcast as a young girl with her sister. She’s seen a lot and we have enough in common that when the Queen speaks, people should listen. (The rest of the royals can safely be ignored!)
I particularly liked this line: “The pride in who we are is not a part of our past, it defines our present and our future”
That’s as close to MAGA as you’re going to hear from a British monarch. It’s the same vision most of us have for the USA as well, that the future is an extension of the past, not something completely different and foreign. The Queen recognizes there is nothing wrong with having pride in our past, despite Obama’s best efforts to demean and apologize for it.

Funny that one meaning of we is ventilate.
Word work is illuminating. This is just a first look at multiple meanings.
Meet=Huntsmen was weird.
______________________________________________________
we-
Proto-Indo-European root meaning “to blow.”
It forms all or part of: Nirvana; vent; ventilate; weather; wind (n.1) “air in motion;” window; wing.
It is the hypothetical source of/evidence for its existence is provided by: Sanskrit va-, Greek aemi-, Gothic waian, Old English wawan, Old High German wajan, German wehen, Old Church Slavonic vejati “to blow;” Sanskrit vatah, Avestan vata-, Hittite huwantis, Latin ventus, Old English wind, German Wind, Gothic winds, Old Church Slavonic vetru, Lithuanian ;jas “wind;” Lithuanian ;tra “tempest, storm;” Old Irish feth “air;” Welsh gwynt, Breton gwent “wind.”
__________________________________________________
will (n.)
Old English will, willa “mind, determination, purpose; desire, wish, request; joy, delight,” from Proto-Germanic *wiljon- (source also of Old Saxon willio, Old Norse vili, Old Frisian willa, Dutch wil, Old High German willio, German Wille, Gothic wilja “will”), related to *willan “to wish” (see will (v.1)). The meaning “written document expressing a person’s wishes about disposition of property after death” is first recorded late 14c.
_______________________________________________________
meet (n.)
1831 in the sporting sense, “a gathering of huntsmen for fox-hunting,” from meet (v.). Later of bicyclists gathering for a ride, etc.
_____________________________________________________
again (adv.)
late Old English agan, from earlier ongean (prep.) “toward; opposite, against, contrary to; in exchange for,” as an adverb “in the opposite direction, back, to or toward a former place or position,” from on “on” (see on (prep.) and compare a- (1)) + -gegn “against, toward,” from Germanic root *gagina (source also of Old Norse gegn “straight, direct;” Danish igen “against;” Old Frisian jen, Old High German gegin, German gegen “against, toward,” entgegen “against, in opposition to”)
In Old English, eft (see eftsoons) was the main word for “again,” but this often was strengthened by ongean, which became the principal word by 13c. Norse influence is responsible for the hard -g-. Differentiated from against (q.v.) 16c. in southern writers, again becoming an adverb only, and against taking over as preposition and conjunction, but again clung to all senses in northern and Scottish dialect (where against was not adopted). Of action, “in return,” early 13c.; of action or fact, “once more,” late 14c.

“A phage is a virus that infects bacteria. They can sometimes look like moon landers.”
Here’s a story about a young girl saved with viral phage therapy:
My daughter is studying virology including phages and microbiology currently.
I will be having a White House CoronaVirus Task Force meeting in a short while. May or may not do a News Conference after the meeting, depending on new information. Talks & meetings today are proving promising, but a rough two weeks are coming up! 3:30 PM · Apr 5, 2020
We are learning much about the Invisible Enemy. It is tough and smart, but we are tougher and smarter! 3:35 PM · Apr 5, 2020
It's infectious! One size fits all!
Get in line and try harder America!
This quote includes the words, "When you look and see at night, ...."
Some Anons believe this somewhat needless use of the word "night" was a hint to look for Q drops that include the word "night". And this is behind the 7 day schedule that others linked upthread - those are drops that have a 2 year delta and include the word "night."
Did we miss the briefing? Just turned on Fox and saw my gov—ugh.
No. Tweet said they were going to meet as a task force, then perhaps have the presser.
Thanks...just tuned in to Fox.
NOPE. Think of it this way:
The ventilators do the breathing for the body. They perform the mechanical act of breathing, along with cleaning the incoming air.
Repsirators are to treat the air...to clean it, make sure the lungs get clean air.
My wife & I saw that and laughed so hard. It was beyond bewildering. We thought we had entered an alternate universe.
