President Trump joins the Coronavirus Task Force to provide updates.
Press conference still on means national 6:30 networks news all muddy channel water coming up
Thanks.
What is Project Airbridge?
As U.S. hospitals are in search of the medical supplies they need to fight COVID-19, the federal government is working with private companies to bring, in the words of President Trump, “massive amounts of medical supplies from other countries to the United States.”
The effort is called “Project Airbridge,” and on Sunday, Mr. Trump announced that the first flight of equipment from Shanghai landed in New York with 80 tons of personal protective equipment. That FEMA-funded flight contained roughly 130,000 N95 masks, roughly 1.8 million face masks and gowns, more than 10.3 million gloves and more than 70,000 thermometers, according to a White House official.
FEMA and the State Department are coordinating flights to bring the supplies to the U.S. in two to three days, rather than shipping them by sea, which would take 20-40 days.
Governors and hospitals have been sounding the alarm that they need more personal protective equipment, or PPE, for health care workers as they care for the growing number of coronavirus patients. For now, the Federal Emergency Management Agency will give the majority of supplies to the hard-hit states of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, while the rest of the supplies will go to nursing homes there and other high-risk areas in the U.S. Dozens of those flights are expected to take place over the next 30 days.

I sure hope Trump ends this quarantine sooner rather than later...just to have an economy with functioning businesses and people working.
Here in Ohio, the Governor’s “stay at home” order ends April 6...and hopefully no extension is enacted.
Sheeeesh, what a presser. Question of the day IMO...with what is apparently a credible threat to our troops in Iraq and the US naval mobilization off-shore...has there been credible threats to the Homeland?
If so, (and we likely won’t know for sure) there isn’t anybody else I’d rather have as POTUS right now.
Trump has to tread lightly with China for now. We are dependent upon them for so many things, including life saving drugs. Hopefully, the globalists in this country understand what they did to this country.
Panda Dragon.
Amen and agree, 100%.
Anyone can post that photo on FB - so spread the word on the “3 communists walk into a bar”
I hope that when we see how bad the model is that is driving our public policy, Trump will change our approach.
I’d plan on there being an extension :(
Plan for the worst, hope for the best.
Yes...I thought similar...70K drug deaths...also Rush today listed numbers that put it in context
Now we’re into open question period.
As obnoxious as the reporters can be, Trump’s calm response and tone voice is very reassuring to the American people.
Also, by personally responding to the most irritating questions Trump can control the narrative and point out when a reporter (Acosta) goes off the rails.
Thinking about mitigation further of airlines from hot spot to hotspot q@a
I sure hope Trump ends this quarantine sooner rather than later...just to have an economy with functioning businesses and people working.

LOL...unfortunately, Trump doesn’t have a (fake) magic wand, like 0blammy had.
Do you not think he isn’t doing EVERYTHING in his power to ‘end this quarantine’??
And, do you not think he doesn’t see what’s happening to the once BEST economy - best in decades, if not ever, that HE created - now?
Geeeeeeez.
Fall on your knees and pray, for this good man.
That would make sense.
Agree. He showing what a non scripted leader can do and has well exceeded anything his predecessor ever attempted in terms of one on one non scripted press briefings
CNN and MSNBC cannot risk people hearing the full answers that PDJT gives, especially in response to the snarky questions by their “reporters.” They and the networks play only framed, biased sound bites.

May I just bend down slowly and pray for him?
:-)
That works!
:-)
I’ve been saying the “models” are inaccurate with a heavy weighting to NY/NJ...as Birx/Fauci admitted to on Tuesday.
More stats indicate the seasonal flu has killed 10x more than the ChiCom virus.
Hopefully, Trump recognizes the hoax that has been perpetuated on him by two HELLary fans, Birx & Fauci, to destroy our economy just before the 2020 election.
Leftism, under all of its brand names, is pure evil.
