I'm just saying.
Missed it. Will watch/listen to recording. Are they saying anything new? Agreeing with state and local shutdowns? Any update on tests?
I for one welcome our Corona Virus overlords.
Let me guess. Trump’s poll numbers remain consistent so we declare the threat from the virus has been mitigated.
Re-posting...
According to the Mayo Clinic, COVID 19 is a form of SARS.
“Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that can cause illnesses such as the common cold, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS). In 2019, a new coronavirus was identified as the cause of a disease outbreak in China.
“The virus is now known as the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The disease it causes is called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).”

If COVID 19 is a SARS issue, then the same type of logic is in play as is discussed here.
“FORECASTING CASES & DURATION OF
SEVERE ACUTE RESPIRATORY SYNDROME (SARS)
“Can simple mathematical models give an insight into the question of how many people will be infected by SARS and how well it is being controlled ?
“In late 2002, a severe form of pneumonia called Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) broke out in Southern China. It was met by a government determined to deny its existence. Shortly after the Chinese New Year 1st February 2003, SARS spread across the world.
“By mid April, over 1200 people in Hong Kong had been infected, including many health workers, and its 6 million people were in a state of virtual panic.
“S-shaped Logistic equations have been shown to accurately model the February 2001 outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease in the UK. What can they tell us about the 2003 SARS outbreak ? With hindsight, the outbreaks in Singapore and Canada were brought under control by early May, but logistic curve-fits made that apparent even from early April.
“The results show here that while in the initial stages of an outbreak, the disease seems to spread exponentially, this situation can not be maintained and the outbreak tapers off logistically. While there is a need to respond aggressively against the disease, even in April 2003 there was no need to panic - the sky was not falling in.”

Key point here - act quickly and aggressively but don’t panic and don’t overkill.
says very contagious virus...elderly people in dangerous group...have to watch and protect them...
The vice-president is impressive. Already knew the President was impressive.
TEsting available in all 50 states...40 to 60 tests a day right now..
Trump seemed out if sorts. This is weighing heavily on him.
Birx: been working with private labs to make sure they had all they need to handle greatly increased testing.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen the USPHS in their uniforms.
Pretty Spiffy.
Birx: Will see spike in cases as testing is rolled out.
Fauci: Please with testing progress...new phase...multifaceted approach to challenge...
Fauci: Travel restrictions and containment and mitigation have helped so far...
Fauci: Curve will increase as testing happens more. The WORST is yet ahead for us. Depends on how we respond to get to end point.

I'm just saying.
Average wait time is now average 30 minutes at airports for returning passengers...
(also another q bitching about president)
Fauci: Anything and everything is on the table including nat shutdown...more guidelines tomorrow.
