Pres. Trump said he's 'in touch' with Drs. Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx, but he didn't say Tuesday whether they've indicated his desire to have the country 'opened up' by Easter is realistic. Dr. Fauci said the timeline 'is really very flexible.'
Here is how developments unfolded on Tuesday.
"Ultimately, the goal is to ease the guidelines and open things up to very large sections of our country as we near the end of our historic battle with the invisible enemy. It will go on for a while but we will win," Trump said."Easter is our timeline, what a great timeline that would be." The president said the administration is"working very hard to make that a reality" an that"we will be meeting with a lot of people to see if it can be done" although it wasn't clear who, besides public health experts, would be advising him.
She continued that it"will be very critical that those individuals do self quarantine in their homes over the next 14 days to make sure they don't pass the virus to others based on the time they left New York," she said President Donald Trump listens as Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, speaks in the press briefing room of the White House on March 24, 2020, in Washington.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, speaks about the coronavirus in the James Brady Briefing Room, Tuesday, March 24, 2020, in Washington."It's going to be looking at the data. What we don't have right now that we really do need is we need to know what's going on in those areas of the country, where there isn't an obvious outbreak.
The president issued full-throated support for people going back to work, though he said people would have to be smart about it. "Look, you're going to lose a number of people to the flu. But you're going to lose more people by putting a country into a massive recession or depression. You're going to lose people. You're going to have suicides by the thousands. You're going to have all sorts of things happen," he said."You're going to have instability.
"He has other things to do. We get along very well ... we're fine, we're fine," Trump said, complimenting the team of doctors on the coronavirus task force as"extraordinary." "This says New York Governor Cuomo rejected buying 16,000 ventilators in 2015," Trump said."So he had a chance to buy in 2015, 16,000 ventilators at a very low price, and he turned it down. I'm not blaming him or anything else. But he shouldn't be talking about us. He's supposed to be buying his own ventilators."
President Donald Trump is followed by Vice President Mike Pence as he arrives for the coronavirus response daily briefing at the White House, March 23, 2020. ."I need the ventilators in 14 days. Only the federal government has that power. And not to exercise that power is inexplicable to me."Vice President Mike Pence, appearing on a Fox News 'virtual town hall" from the White House Rose Garden after Cuomo's complaints, said, "I know we started our conversation this hour on the subject ventilators and the challenges the state of New York faces.
"If it were up to the doctors, they may say, 'Let's keep it shut down. Let's shut down the entire world because again you're up to 150 countries,'" Trump said, when asked whether any doctors on the task force agreed with his suggestion that social distancing guidelines will pay off in weeks not months.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, left, accompanied by White House Legislative Affairs Director Eric Ueland and acting White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, walks to the offices of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Ky. on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., March 24, 2020. All parties said there were a few remaining issues to lock down but that they were nearly done -- and expect a deal.
"If we don't have unanimous consent, my two options with my members is to call them back to vote to amend this bill, or to pass our own bill and go to conference with that," she added.
"If we can target zones where viruses is less prevalent, think it’s safe," Kudlow said."We're not abandoning the health professionals advice but there is a clamor to try to reopen the economy and, perhaps, cause less of a shut in."
