I can only listen by radio, read web articles, and, of course, browse FR. Can somebody tell me: It’s essentially just President Trump, Drs. Fauci and Birx, and VP Pence at these pressers, correct?. No one else?
My point: If it’s just these four speaking at the pressers, I think the news will always be the same. And if it follows that pattern, then we’ll need to see new players speaking at the pressers to learn anything really new. Thus if there is news to share about the economy (such as when and how we will re-engage it), we should expect to see an economic expert attending these pressers and having a turn at the mic.
Until then, I expect we’ll keep hearing the same message we’ve been hearing about the progress on containing the virus, and, maybe, news on treatments/cures.
I think you make an excellent point. Why aren’t we hearing from experts on plans to target testing so that we know where it will be safe to open up areas for business again? The expression of wishes and hopes that businesses will be opened up by a particular date is not helpful. What are the paths being explored?
