assembled the ░░░░░░░░ House Coronavirus task force ░░░░░░░░ early in the process ░░░░░░░░ organize what he said ░░░░░░░░ the whole of government ░░░░░░░░ but as the American ░░░░░░░░ have witnessed and been ░░░░░░░░ part of it s ░░░░░░░░ been a whole of ░░░░░░░░ approach We are working ░░░░░░░░ governments at every level ░░░░░░░░ and local leaders we ░░░░░░░░ in continuous contact We ░░░░░░░░ assembled the very best ░░░░░░░░ experts we ve brought ░░░░░░░░ our top agencies that ░░░░░░░░ with health issues and ░░░░░░░░ issues financial issues everything ░░░░░░░░ the way the Coronavirus ░░░░░░░░ impacting the people and ░░░░░░░░ meet every day in ░░░░░░░░ Situation Room That s ░░░░░░░░ we start We listen ░░░░░░░░ what the statuses from ░░░░░░░░ health experts At this ░░░░░░░░ with some 10000 cases ░░░░░░░░ the time were speaking ░░░░░░░░ half of those cases ░░░░░░░░ in three American counties ░░░░░░░░ have been focusing resources ░░░░░░░░ those areas to really ░░░░░░░░ alongside state and local ░░░░░░░░ that are responding to ░░░░░░░░ Coronavirus giving them the ░░░░░░░░ they need but our ░░░░░░░░ every day is to ░░░░░░░░ the president has the ░░░░░░░░ range of policy options ░░░░░░░░ one thing the American ░░░░░░░░ know about president Donald ░░░░░░░░ is he never hesitates ░░░░░░░░ make a decision In ░░░░░░░░ it s so important ░░░░░░░░ say that had the ░░░░░░░░ not suspended all travel ░░░░░░░░ China on January 31 ░░░░░░░░ he hadn t issued ░░░░░░░░ advisories for portions of ░░░░░░░░ South Korea and begun ░░░░░░░░ all travelers from all ░░░░░░░░ in those countries back ░░░░░░░░ the United States now ░░░░░░░░ than six weeks ago ░░░░░░░░ recently ended all travel ░░░░░░░░ Europe U K and ░░░░░░░░ the truth is would ░░░░░░░░ in a very different ░░░░░░░░ but the Coronavirus task ░░░░░░░░ job is to bring ░░░░░░░░ the best health minds ░░░░░░░░ best leaders of our ░░░░░░░░ to get the counsel ░░░░░░░░ people on the ground ░░░░░░░░ give the president policy ░░░░░░░░ and all along the ░░░░░░░░ the president has been ░░░░░░░░ that he will always ░░░░░░░░ the health and safety ░░░░░░░░ America first Nark I ░░░░░░░░ as one citizen don ░░░░░░░░ I and the American ░░░░░░░░ have a right to ░░░░░░░░ angry with the regime ░░░░░░░░ China for covering up ░░░░░░░░ virus for really missing ░░░░░░░░ doctors missing some of ░░░░░░░░ journalists if I can ░░░░░░░░ it that way keeping ░░░░░░░░ experts from going to ░░░░░░░░ to see what was ░░░░░░░░ place don t Americans ░░░░░░░░ the right to be ░░░░░░░░ with the Chinese government ░░░░░░░░ president has been very ░░░░░░░░ that it would ve ░░░░░░░░ better if we would ░░░░░░░░ known sooner but the ░░░░░░░░ is that compared to ░░░░░░░░ previous outbreak in China ░░░░░░░░ s not much greater ░░░░░░░░ of transparency on this ░░░░░░░░ were able to send ░░░░░░░░ team of our health ░░░░░░░░ in the middle of ░░░░░░░░ to look at the ░░░░░░░░ data to understand what ░░░░░░░░ been happening in China ░░░░░░░░ we will continue to ░░░░░░░░ on a basis of ░░░░░░░░ and I would never ░░░░░░░░ Americans feeling the way ░░░░░░░░ feel about any issues ░░░░░░░░ one of such magnitude ░░░░░░░░ our families and our ░░░░░░░░ but what I can ░░░░░░░░ you is this is ░░░░░░░░ president that has told ░░░░░░░░ when he asked me ░░░░░░░░ it lead the task ░░░░░░░░ three weeks ago he ░░░░░░░░ we just need to ░░░░░░░░ the best of America ░░░░░░░░ the federal level the ░░░░░░░░ level and most importantly ░░░░░░░░ private industry to respond ░░░░░░░░ this virus and to ░░░░░░░░ sure we are doing ░░░░░░░░ in our power to ░░░░░░░░ the impact in the ░░░░░░░░ of the Coronavirus on ░░░░░░░░ American people and most ░░░░░░░░ that Americans know that ░░░░░░░░ the risk of serious ░░░░░░░░ to the average American ░░░░░░░░ quite low the risk ░░░░░░░░ serious outcomes to seniors ░░░░░░░░ chronic underlying health conditions ░░░░░░░░ anyone with an immunodeficiency ░░░░░░░░ very real So every ░░░░░░░░ of us should be ░░░░░░░░ in to practice the ░░░░░░░░ days to slow spread ░░░░░░░░ b5 where can the ░░░░░░░░ find that Coronavirus dove ░░░░░░░░ very straightforward list about ░░░░░░░░ distancing using drive through ░░░░░░░░ pickup and delivery service ░░░░░░░░ gatherings over this time ░░░░░░░░ more than 10 people ░░░░░░░░ certainly is about making ░░░░░░░░ that fewer Americans contract ░░░░░░░░ Coronavirus but we recognize ░░░░░░░░ most people that contract ░░░░░░░░ Coronavirus will either have ░░░░░░░░ symptoms or in many ░░░░░░░░ no symptoms at all ░░░░░░░░ this is about not ░░░░░░░░ protecting your health and ░░░░░░░░ health of your family ░░░░░░░░ making sure you don ░░░░░░░░ inadvertently expose someone who ░░░░░░░░ be quite vulnerable Again ░░░░░░░░ with serious underlying health ░░░░░░░░ or anyone with an ░░░░░░░░ deficiency has serious consequences ░░░░░░░░ are asking everyone to ░░░░░░░░ into practice because we ░░░░░░░░ believe doctor found she ░░░░░░░░ top experts in the ░░░░░░░░ on infectious disease tell ░░░░░░░░ mark that we are ░░░░░░░░ the beginning point of ░░░░░░░░ epidemic in America and ░░░░░░░░ all of us will ░░░░░░░░ these things now we ░░░░░░░░ we can significantly reduce ░░░░░░░░ spread of the Coronavirus ░░░░░░░░ America which would spare ░░░░░░░░ of Americans and during ░░░░░░░░ virus and it would ░░░░░░░░ lives Nark Let me ░░░░░░░░ you a tough question ░░░░░░░░ the economy You re ░░░░░░░░ conservative I m a ░░░░░░░░ lots of money being ░░░░░░░░ about out there Trillion ░░░░░░░░ package they talk about ░░░░░░░░ for a family in ░░░░░░░░ shot and then a ░░░░░░░░ shot Chuck Schumer says ░░░░░░░░ s not enough here ░░░░░░░░ my concern I understand ░░░░░░░░ is a temporary situation ░░░░░░░░ it is a historically ░░░░░░░░ situation How can we ░░░░░░░░ Americans out there who ░░░░░░░░ our economic system who ░░░░░░░░ t think they should ░░░░░░░░ subsidizing everyone and love ░░░░░░░░ constitution that we will ░░░░░░░░ back to normalcy once ░░░░░░░░ is done I understand ░░░░░░░░ and the president but ░░░░░░░░ s another party out ░░░░░░░░ with another agenda potentially.
