░░░░░░░░ time to help and ░░░░░░░░ support them to be ░░░░░░░░ to avoid public places ░░░░░░░░ everyone around them to ░░░░░░░░ in good hygiene and ░░░░░░░░ practices to protect those ░░░░░░░░ are most vulnerable DOOCY ░░░░░░░░ the key is what ░░░░░░░░ now referred to Mr ░░░░░░░░ President as social distancing ░░░░░░░░ you just keep a ░░░░░░░░ from people around you ░░░░░░░░ you have got to ░░░░░░░░ to the grocery store ░░░░░░░░ t come up right ░░░░░░░░ them You just never ░░░░░░░░ who might have it ░░░░░░░░ know the President has ░░░░░░░░ off his domestic travel ░░░░░░░░ s postponed a rally ░░░░░░░░ fundraising event We know ░░░░░░░░ the NBA has suspended ░░░░░░░░ season The NCAA is ░░░░░░░░ to do March Madness ░░░░░░░░ people in the stands ░░░░░░░░ the most part And ░░░░░░░░ you ve got Anthony ░░░░░░░░ yesterday who said it ░░░░░░░░ probably going to get ░░░░░░░░ before it gets better ░░░░░░░░ there is a story ░░░░░░░░ as well that says ░░░░░░░░ last week Republicans in ░░░░░░░░ were told there is ░░░░░░░░ good chance that most ░░░░░░░░ in the United States ░░░░░░░░ be exposed to it ░░░░░░░░ t mean they are ░░░░░░░░ to get it but ░░░░░░░░ could be out there ░░░░░░░░ Right Well look one ░░░░░░░░ the things that we ░░░░░░░░ about the Coronavirus from ░░░░░░░░ experts studying global data ░░░░░░░░ it s two to ░░░░░░░░ times more contagious as ░░░░░░░░ respiratory illness So we ░░░░░░░░ have thousands of more ░░░░░░░░ across this country But ░░░░░░░░ viewers deserve to know ░░░░░░░░ most Americans the vast ░░░░░░░░ of Americans who even ░░░░░░░░ the Coronavirus will have ░░░░░░░░ like symptoms and will ░░░░░░░░ recover I talked to ░░░░░░░░ man named Clay Bentley ░░░░░░░░ Rome Georgia yesterday on ░░░░░░░░ phone He is doing ░░░░░░░░ He is recovering well ░░░░░░░░ his personal strength and ░░░░░░░░ faith have sustained him ░░░░░░░░ this and it was ░░░░░░░░ to talk to him ░░░░░░░░ we don t want ░░░░░░░░ the President has conveyed ░░░░░░░░ don t want Americans ░░░░░░░░ be overly concerned We ░░░░░░░░ everybody to practice good ░░░░░░░░ sense But in those ░░░░░░░░ where we have community ░░░░░░░░ we will continue to ░░░░░░░░ very aggressive recommendations as ░░░░░░░░ have in California and ░░░░░░░░ and New York to ░░░░░░░░ exactly what you are ░░░░░░░░ with regard to social ░░░░░░░░ And we ll respect ░░░░░░░░ decisions of any business ░░░░░░░░ sports enterprise that decides ░░░░░░░░ cancel events to put ░░░░░░░░ health of the country ░░░░░░░░ But it s really ░░░░░░░░ I really believe to ░░░░░░░░ on the most vulnerable ░░░░░░░░ with serious underlying health ░░░░░░░░ It s the reason ░░░░░░░░ we are focusing more ░░░░░░░░ we ve raised the ░░░░░░░░ at nursing homes and ░░░░░░░░ re recommending that people ░░░░░░░░ than those that have ░░░░░░░░ members in hospice care ░░░░░░░░ circumstances avoid visiting nursing ░░░░░░░░ over the next 30 ░░░░░░░░ EARHARDT I love that ░░░░░░░░ lot of these businesses ░░░░░░░░ making smart decisions I ░░░░░░░░ the financial market many ░░░░░░░░ the banks here are ░░░░░░░░ you can work from ░░░░░░░░ Can you travel to ░░░░░░░░ your family and stay ░░░░░░░░ and just keep your ░░░░░░░░ close by and work ░░░░░░░░ your computer What about ░░░░░░░░ masks excuse me not ░░░░░░░░ masks the tests If ░░░░░░░░ feel like have you ░░░░░░░░ symptoms and you call ░░░░░░░░ doctor before you show ░░░░░░░░ right Is that what ░░░░░░░░ are supposed to do ░░░░░░░░ in advance so you ░░░░░░░░ t walk in and ░░░░░░░░ other people PENCE Yes ░░░░░░░░ Do we have enough ░░░░░░░░ out there PENCE Ainsley

viewers that may ░░░░░░░░ a concern can call ░░░░░░░░ doctor Their doctor can ░░░░░░░░ the state lab and ░░░░░░░░ how to get a ░░░░░░░░ processed I m also ░░░░░░░░ of the fact that ░░░░░░░░ hospitals around the country ░░░░░░░░ conducting tests The University ░░░░░░░░ Washington is doing a ░░░░░░░░ number of testing Right ░░░░░░░░ for their citizens that ░░░░░░░░ been impacted by the ░░░░░░░░ But lastly the president ░░░░░░░░ know he said this ░░░░░░░░ a whole of government ░░░░░░░░ but he also said ░░░░░░░░ is a whole of ░░░░░░░░ approach So he has ░░░░░░░░ in business leaders from ░░░░░░░░ homes yesterday banking hospitals ░░░░░░░░ the rest but one ░░░░░░░░ the things we did ░░░░░░░░ s most important on ░░░░░░░░ was the president brought ░░░░░░░░ the leaders of the ░░░░░░░░ commercial laboratories in the ░░░░░░░░ who as we speak ░░░░░░░░ already approved a test ░░░░░░░░ is being spun up ░░░░░░░░ s being sent out ░░░░░░░░ market quest labcorp the ░░░░░░░░ commercial laboratories in the ░░░░░░░░ are working very closely ░░░░░░░░ our administration We re ░░░░░░░░ the red tape out ░░░░░░░░ the way That s ░░░░░░░░ to be the way ░░░░░░░░ in the days ahead ░░░░░░░░ are going to have ░░░░░░░░ broad based testing available ░░░░░░░░ across the country KILMEADE ░░░░░░░░ Just in terms of ░░░░░░░░ numbers that we woke ░░░░░░░░ with Worldwide 118 000 ░░░░░░░░ U S Confirmed 111 ░░░░░░░░ 36 48 states affected ░░░░░░░░ Washington D C Do ░░░░░░░░ have anything to expand ░░░░░░░░ that PENCE No Those ░░░░░░░░ the numbers I haven ░░░░░░░░ gotten my full briefing ░░░░░░░░ this morning But those ░░░░░░░░ numbers that we really ░░░░░░░░ on in the president ░░░░░░░░ decision yesterday though Brian ░░░░░░░░ the fact that it ░░░░░░░░ weeks ago Italy had ░░░░░░░░ 500 cases As of ░░░░░░░░ they have 12 000 ░░░░░░░░ Germany was at another ░░░░░░░░ France at another thousand ░░░░░░░░ s why the president ░░░░░░░░ that the epicenter of ░░░░░░░░ Coronavirus has shifted from ░░░░░░░░ and South Korea to ░░░░░░░░ And that s why ░░░░░░░░ took the unprecedented step ░░░░░░░░ thing he done with ░░░░░░░░ to suspend all travel ░░░░░░░░ 30 days from Europe ░░░░░░░░ s about preventing the ░░░░░░░░ flow of the infection ░░░░░░░░ Europe into our country ░░░░░░░░ make no mistake about ░░░░░░░░ We are also at ░░░░░░░░ same time focusing on ░░░░░░░░ strategies in communities where ░░░░░░░░ have community spread We ░░░░░░░░ encouraging best practices for ░░░░░░░░ American especially for our ░░░░░░░░ vulnerable population And make ░░░░░░░░ mistake about it our ░░░░░░░░ as the Coronavirus spreads ░░░░░░░░ this country in the ░░░░░░░░ majority who would contract ░░░░░░░░ will have flu like ░░░░░░░░ and recover Our goal ░░░░░░░░ is to hold down ░░░░░░░░ overall number as much ░░░░░░░░ possible and we will ░░░░░░░░ that with the continuing ░░░░░░░░ of American families schools ░░░░░░░░ and states and that ░░░░░░░░ the vision President Trump ░░░░░░░░ All of us working ░░░░░░░░ will
