  • thank you.

  • I'm glad to see that you're practicing social distancing.

  • That looks very nice.

  • It's very good.

  • I want to thank everybody for being here today.

  • This morning I spoke with the leaders of the G seven G seven nations and they I really had a good meeting.

  • I think was a very, very productive meeting.

  • I also spoke with our nation's governors this afternoon.

  • We're announcing new guidelines for every American to follow over the next 15 days as we come back.

  • The virus each and every one of us has a critical role to play in stopping the spread and transmission of the virus.

  • Week We did this today.

  • This was done by a lot of very talented people, some of whom were standing with me, and that's available.

  • Dr.

  • Burkes will be speaking about that in just a few minutes.

  • It's important for the young and healthy people to understand that while they may experience milder cinders symptoms, they can easily spread this virus and they will spread it, indeed, putting countless others in harm's way.

  • We especially where about our senior citizens.

  • The White House task force meets every day and continually updates guidelines based on the fast evolving situation that this has become all over the world.

  • It's all over the world.

  • It's incredible what's happened in such a short period of time on the guidelines of the task force, the new modeling conducted by Dr Berks and our consultation with governors.

  • We've made the decision to further tough in the guidelines and blunt the infection.

  • Now we'd much rather be ahead of the curve than behind it, and that's what we are.

  • Therefore, my administration is recommending that all Americans, including the young and healthy, work to engage in schooling from home when possible, avoid gathering in groups of more than 10 people, avoid discretionary travel and avoid eating and drinking in bars, restaurants and public food courts.

  • If everyone makes this, uh, change or these critical changes and sacrifices now we will rally together as one nation and we will defeat the virus, and we're going there, have a big celebration altogether.

  • With several weeks of focused action, we can turn the corner and turn it quickly.

  • A lot of progress has been made.

  • I'm also pleased to report today that a vaccine candidate has begun the Phase one clinical trial this is one of the fastest vaccine development launches in history, not even close.

  • We're also racing to develop anti viral therapies and other treatments that we've had some promising results early results but promising to reduce the severity and the duration of the center of the symptoms.

  • And I have to say that our government is prepared to do whatever it takes.

  • Whatever it takes we're doing, we're doing it in every way.

  • And with that I'd like to just introduce Dr Burke's.

  • Who's going to discuss some of the things that we strongly recommend?

  • Thank you.

  • Thank you, Mr President.

  • I think you know, over the last months, we've taken very bold action to stop the virus from coming to our shores.

  • And because of that, we gain time to really get together and understand the progress across the globe of what has worked in what hasn't worked.

  • We now need to appeal toe every single American so that they hadn't have their role in stopping the spread of this virus.

  • We've talked about things before about washing your hands.

  • But we're really wanna focus on.

  • If you are sick, no matter who you are, please stay home.

  • If someone in your household is diagnosed with this virus, the entire household should quarantine in the house to prevent spread of the virus to others.

  • The reason we're taking these strong and bold steps is because we know there is virus spread before you develop symptoms.

  • And then we know that there's a large group.

  • We don't know the purse I percent yet that actually is a symptomatic or has such mild cases that they continue to spread the virus.

  • If your Children are sick, please keep them home now to our older population or those with preexisting medical conditions, everyone in the household needs to focus on protecting them.

  • Everyone in the household I want to speak particularly to our largest generation now are millennials.

  • I have the mom of two wonderful millennial young women who are bright and hardworking, and I will tell you what I told to them.

  • They are the core group that will stop this virus.

  • They're the group that communicate successfully independent of picking up a phone.

  • They intuitively know how to contact each other's without being in large social gatherings.

  • We're asking all of them toe, hold their gatherings toe under 10 people not just in bars and restaurants, but in homes.

  • We really want people to be separated at this time.

  • To be able to address this fire is comprehensively that we cannot see for which we don't have a vaccine or a therapeutic.

  • The only thing we have right now is the amazing ingenuity and compassion of the American people.

  • We're appealing to all Americans to take these steps to protect each other and to ensure that the virus doesn't spread.

  • These guidelines are very specific.

  • They're very detailed.

  • They will only work if every American takes this together to heart and responds as one nation and one people to stop the spread of this virus.

  • Thank you.

  • Thank you very much, Dr Burke's.

  • So just to connect with what I mentioned to you in previous discussions in this room.

  • And Dr Burke said it very well that in order to be able to contain and curtail this epidemic to not reach its maximum capability, we have a two pillar approach, one of which, I believe has been very effective in preventing the substantial seating and namely, the travel restrictions that we've discussed many times in this room.

  • The other, equally if not more important is when you have infection in your own country, which we do.

  • And, you know, I could be that the numbers But they're really essentially what we've seen yesterday incremental increases both globally as well as in the United States with the curve doing that.

  • So therefore, the kinds of things that we do our containment and mitigation Uh, this what we're mentioning now, the guidelines.

  • When you look at them carefully, I believe if the people in the United States take them seriously because they were based on some rather serious consideration back and forth, some may look at them and say they're gonna be really inconvenient for people.

  • Some will look and say, Well, maybe we've gone a little bit too far.

  • They were well thought out.

  • And the thing that I want to reemphasize and I'll say it over and over again.

  • When you're dealing with an emerging infectious diseases outbreak, you are always behind where you think you are.

  • If you think that today reflects where you really are, that's not words Speak.

  • It means if you think you're here, you're really here because you're only getting the results.

  • Therefore it will always seem that the best way to address it would to be doing something that looks like it might be an overreaction.

  • It isn't an overreaction.

  • It's a reaction that we feel is commensurate, which is actually going on in reality.

  • So take a look at the guidelines, read them carefully.

  • And we hope that the people of the United States will take them very seriously because they will fail if people don't adhere to them.

  • We have tohave as a whole country cooperate and collaborate to make sure these get done.

  • Thank you.

  • Okay, go ahead.

  • President.

  • A lot of people are concerned about how long all of this my last.

  • Do you have any kind of estimate that Americans really were to band together?

  • Do what?

  • The White House.

  • Suggesting how quick you could turn for my favorite question.

  • I tested all the time.

  • How many times, Anthony?

  • I think I asked him that question every day.

  • And I speak Thio Deborah.

  • I speak to a lot of get the opinion.

  • So it seems to me that if we do a really good job will not only hold the death down to a level that is much lower than the other way had we not done a good job.

  • Uh, but people are talking about July August something like that.

  • So it could be right in that period of time where I say washing it washes through.

  • Other people don't like that term, but would washes through.

  • Is this the new normal?

  • Until I did something, we'll see what happens.

  • But they think August could be July.

  • Could be longer than that.

  • But I've asked that question many, many times.

  • Yes, Mr President, Americans today and and looking forward to living with so much anxiety and so much fear facing uncertainty right now I'm curious.

  • How are you talking your own family about this?

  • How are you talking to your youngest son?

  • Do you empathize with this sense of anxiety?

  • People are really scared.

  • No, I think they are very scared.

  • I think they see that we're doing a very professional job.

  • We've been working with the governors and the frankly, the mayors, local government, at every level we have FEMA totally involved.

  • Team has been.

  • You know, usually we see FEMA for the hurricanes and tornadoes.

  • Now we have FEMA involved in this.

  • They've been doing a fantastic job locally, working with people that they know because they worked like as an example in California, in the state of Washington.

  • They worked with him a lot on other things, and they're very familiar.

  • So they're working on it.

  • Uh, what?

  • You can do it.

  • All you can do is said professional, totally confident.

  • We have the best people in the world.

  • We have really the greatest experts in the world.

  • And, uh, someday soon, hopefully it'll end and will be back to where it was.

  • But this came up.

  • It came up so suddenly, he was surprised.

  • We were all surprised we heard about it.

  • We heard about reports from China that something was happening and all of a sudden we did make a good decision.

  • We closed our our borders to China very quickly, very rapidly.

  • That was otherwise would be in a hurry, as Estonia said numerous times would be in a very bad position, much worse than we would be.

  • Right now, you look at what's happening in other countries.

  • Italy is having a very hard time, but I think that I think that what we do and I've spoken actually with my son he says.

  • How bad is this?

  • It's bad, it's bad, but we're going thio.

  • We're going to be hopefully a best case.

  • Not a worst case, and that's what we're working for.

  • Clear up some confusion on two key fronts.

  • One is about your own test.

  • The other is about containment efforts.

  • Is the administration considering Maur aggressive containment options like a quarantine, a national curfew?

  • We have very much We have that very much, and we are.

  • We been pretty aggressive.

  • We were early with Europe, but we were very, very early with China and other places.

  • And fortunately we were.

  • And as far as containment here we are.

  • We're coming out with strong suggestions and, you know, it's becoming a little bit automatic.

  • You look at people, they're not doing certain things.

  • For instance, it obviously not.

  • I wouldn't say the restaurant business is booming and bars and grills and all people are self containing for to a large extent.

  • We look forward to the day when we could get back to normal, which are you?

  • Are you considering instituting a nationwide lock down a nationwide quarantine?

  • The NSC not that down.

  • But there's still some questions about how well, at this point, not a nationwide.

  • But there are some point, you know, some places in our nation that are not very effective in full.

  • But we may.

  • We may look at certain areas certain, certain hot spots, as they call them.

  • We'll be looking at that.

  • But at this moment No, we're not questioning you.

  • Have you had your own virus test Friday night?

  • The White House doctor's office put out a statement around midnight Friday say that no test was indicated.

  • So when exactly was your tested minister?

  • I had my test.

  • I was late Friday night.

  • And the reason I did it was because the I had no symptoms whatsoever.

  • So the doctor said You have no symptoms, so we don't see any reason.

  • But when I did the press conference in front, everybody was going crazy.

  • Did you do the test?

  • Did you do the test so very late on Friday night.

  • I did the test, and he may have put out the doctor may put out something that a I don't know what time the letter went out.

  • Maybe it was put up by somebody else, but the results came back.

  • I believe the following day.

  • And, uh, we tested negative for the White House doctor's office, saying test wasn't indicated, implying that you haven't had one when in fact you had.

  • No I I told them that, and I went totally by what they said.

  • The doctors more than one.

  • They said you don't have any of the symptoms.

  • They checked.

  • What?

  • You're supposed to check in that I didn't have symptoms, but I did it.

  • I did a test later on Friday night and it came back, Uh, probably 24 hours later or something.

  • They're sent it to the labs, came back later.

  • Please, President, you had a teleconference with the nation's governors today, and in that teleconference, you told them if they need things like respirators or mass to try to get it on their own, what did you mean by that?

  • They can get them faster by getting on their own.

  • In other words, go through a supply chain that they may have caused the governor's during normal times.

  • The governor's by a lot of things, not necessarily through federal government.

  • If they were able to get ventilators, respirators if they were able to get certain things without having to go through the the longer process of federal government.

  • We have stockpiles now or we're ordering tremendous numbers of ventilators, respirators, masks and they're ordered and they're coming.

  • And we have quite a few.

  • At this point, I think we have a lot.

  • But if they can, if they can get them directly, it's always gonna be faster if they can get them directly if they need them on.

  • I've given them authorization to order directly.

  • Thinks president.

  • One of the big weaknesses in our health care system is search capacity for medical facilities, and I wanted to ask what precautions?

  • What what playing is being done to get.

  • China was able to build hospitals in a matter of days.

  • Are you prepared to use the Corps of Engineers or FEMA to start building search capacity that we may need a couple?

  • So first of all, we hope we don't get there, and that's what we're doing, and that's why we're taking a very strict look at this.

  • But we also are looking at areas and not only looking, we're expanding.

  • Certain areas were taking over buildings that are used.

  • We're doing a lot in that regard.

  • We hope we don't have to get there, but we are doing a lot in that regard.

  • You clarify something these guidelines say Stay out of yours.

  • Yesterday, the vice president said no one should worry about losing a paycheck and play straight home when they're sick.

  • But the House bill exempts companies 500 employees or more from paid sick leave requirement.

  • And that's 54% of the American workplace.

  • Why is it a good idea to Onley fire small businesses to provide?

  • We're looking at that, and we may be expanding that we are looking at that.

  • We want fairness we wanted for everybody know we're looking at that through the Senate because, as you know, the Senate is now digesting that bill.

  • So we may very well be heading something, one going up of what he was asking, how many ventilators and how many I see events doing out right now, and will it be enough?

  • I could get back to you with that number.

  • We've ordered a lot.

  • We have quite a few, but it may not be enough that if it's not enough, we will have it by the time we need it.

  • Hopefully, we won't need them.

  • They have not given us an exact we'll give you.

  • We could give you a number of its important.

  • We'll give you another good yesterday you said that this was under tremendous control.

  • Do you want to revisit that statement?

  • We're going to experience experience in this until July or August 5 more months ahead of control.

  • I'm saying we are doing a very good job within the confines of what we're dealing with.

  • We're doing a very good job.

  • There's been a There's been a tremendous amount of the way they're working together.

  • They're working hand in hand.

  • I think they're doing really a great job.

  • And from that standpoint, that's what I was referring to.

  • The oh, it's under control, right?

  • I'm not referring to it.

  • Meeting the Yeah, if you're talking about the virus.

  • No, that's not under control for anyplace in the world.

  • I think I read.

  • I think I read now.

  • I didn't know I was talking about What we're doing is under control.

  • But I'm not talking about the virus.

  • Yes, please.

  • Stock market took another hit today.

  • Is the U.

  • S.

  • Economy heading into a recession?

  • Well, it may be We're not think in terms of recession.

  • We're thinking in terms of the virus.

  • Once we stop, I think there's a tremendous pent up demand, both in terms of the stock market in terms of the economy, and once this goes away, once it goes through and we're done with it, I think you're going to see a tremendous, a tremendous search looking any domestic family restrictions.

  • I know that's been on the table before, but that arming up, it'll we're not really.

  • We hope we don't have to stay way.

  • Think that Hopefully we won't have to do that.

  • But it's certainly something that we talk about every day.

  • We haven't made that decision.

  • Doctors and nurses in this are telling us across the board they're terrified off this virus of the fact that they get it infected.

  • They might take it home to their fans.

  • What can you say to a shore health care providers in this country that the federal government is doing something to days to ensure that they get personal protective equipment to protect themselves and their family?

  • Well, I think the federal government's doing everything that we can possibly do.

  • We made some very good early decisions by keeping people out by keeping countries out certain countries where the infection was very immense.

  • I noticed a lot of people are talking about South Korea because they've done a good job on one side, but on the other side, tremendous problems.

  • At the beginning, they had tremendous problems in great numbers of death.

  • Uh, I think that we've done a fantastic job from just about every standpoint.

  • With that being said, You look the other way you look, this is something.

  • It's an invisible enemy and, uh, but we are speaking all the time, not only with the people but also the professional people, the nurses, the doctors.

  • They have been doing a fantastic job.

  • We're also working very much on getting them the kind of equipment that they need, and for the most part, they're either they either have it or they will be getting it.

  • But remember this.

  • We want the governor's.

  • We want the mayor's.

  • We want them locally from a local standpoint cause it could go quicker.

  • We want them to work and we we had a great talk with governors today.

  • I think it was a really great talk.

  • There's a tremendous coordination.

  • There's a tremendous spirit that we have together with the governors.

  • And that's pretty much for the most part.

  • Bipartisan.

  • Yeah.

  • You just You told John that you think this could wash?

  • You said July all.

  • I guess you just felt Steve when he asked you about possibility of recession.

  • You said it may be curious if there is a recession.

  • When do you think that?

  • Well, I don't I don't, uh, number one determined recession.

  • I just say this.

  • We have an invisible enemy.

  • We have a problem that a month ago nobody ever thought about nobody in the, you know, I've read about it.

  • I read about, uh, many years ago.

  • 1917 1918.

  • I've seen all of the different, the different problems similar to this that we've had.

  • This is a bad one.

  • This is a very bad when this is bad in the sense that it's so contagious.

  • It's just so contagious, sort of record setting, type contagion.

  • And, uh, the good part is the young people are they do very well and healthy people do very well.

  • Very, very bad for older people, especially older people with problems.

  • My focus is really on getting rid of this problem.

  • This virus problem.

  • Once we do that, everything else is gonna fall into place.

  • Yes, please.

  • Rovers, last night, a lot of rumors last night that you were gonna put in a national curfew or some kind of tang visiting.

  • I've been watching, right?

  • Exactly.

  • Me to your people were saying, This is a foreign disinformation campaign.

  • That's what's going on.

  • Are people messing with us on the Internet?

  • Well, I don't know.

  • I mean that I can't tell you if they are not.

  • I think a lot of the media AC actually has been very fair.

  • I think people are pulling together on this.

  • I really think the media's been very fair.

  • I think it could be that you have some foreign groups that are playing games, but it doesn't matter.

  • We haven't really determined to do that at all.

  • And hopefully we won't have to.

  • That's a very big step.

  • It's a step we can take, but we have not decided to do it.

  • Jennifer.

  • Mr.

  • President to things on one on airlines and Jeff Bezos, Can you talk a little bit specifically about what you'd like to do to help the airlines were small.

  • And then, second of all, we heard that Jeff Bezos has been in contact with the White House daily.

  • Can you say what he's been asking for proposing?

  • Well, I've heard that True.

  • I don't know that for a fact, but I know that some of my people of as I understand it, been dealing with them or with him, and that's nice.

  • Well, we've had tremendous support from a lot of people that can help, and I believe he was one of them.

  • As far as the airlines are concerned, the airlines were going thio back to the airlines, 100% not their fault.

  • Uh, it's nobody's fault unless you go to the original source.

  • But it's nobody's fault, and we're going to be in a position to help the airlines very much.

  • We've told the airlines we're gonna help them way helping.

  • We're gonna be back stopping.

  • The airlines were gonna be helping them very much.

  • Stock market, sir.

  • $25 billion passenger carriers and four billion Ricardo.

  • We're gonna be looking at it very strongly.

  • We have to back the airlines.

  • It's not their fault.

  • The fact they were having a record season.

  • Everybody was there having record seasons.

  • And then this came out and it came out from nowhere.

  • So not their fault.

  • But we're gonna be back in the airline.

  • Yeah, continued to fall today with support thing I get over the stock market.

  • Does we have to get through this crisis?

  • That's what I can do.

  • That's the best thing we can do.

  • That's what I think about once.

  • Once this virus is gone, I think you're gonna have a stock market like nobody's ever seen before.

  • Theo, Theo.

  • He'll be back in a sec.

  • Get back the second.

  • I think the question that I think maybe John asked about until July the guidelines are a 15 day trial guideline to be reconsidering.

  • It isn't that these guidelines are now gonna be in effect until July.

  • What the president was saying that the trajectory of the outbreak may go till then, make sure we don't think that these are is solid in stone till July.

  • That would be the outside number one.

  • Do you want Senate Republicans to change the package that passed the House last E.

  • I think that would make it even better.

  • Look, they're working together very well with the House that working very much in unison like the question before they're working, too.

  • It only enhance it and make it better and make it fair for everybody.

  • And that's what we're looking to do.

  • So we may go back and forth with the house a little bit, but both will be in a very positive fashion.

  • Please, your president.

  • Time, These new guidelines say.

  • Avoid social gatherings and groups of more than 10 people.

  • The CDC is recommendations yesterday worked for people to avoid gatherings more than 50 people.

  • What's evolved and you and your team's thinking in just the past 24 hours on also, what exactly do you need to see?

  • Well, let me just have the professionals answer that like todo thank you, then Thank you for that question.

  • So we have been working on models day and night around the globe to really predict, because some countries in our very early stage like the United States, we've been working with groups in the United Kingdom.

  • So we had new information coming out from a model, and the what had the biggest impact in the model is social distancing.

  • Small groups not going in public in large groups.

  • But the most important thing was if one person in the household became infected the whole household self quarantined for 14 days because that stops 100% of the transmission outside of the household.

  • And as we talked about early on, it's silent.

  • We had another silent epidemic HIV, and I just want to recognize the HIV epidemic was solved by the community, the H I V advocates and activists who stood up when no one was listening and got everyone's attention.

  • We're asking that same sense of community to come together and stand up against this virus.

  • And if they everybody in America does what we ask for over the next 15 days, we will see a dramatic difference.

  • And we won't have to worry about the ventilators.

  • And we won't have to worry about the I c.

  • U bets because we won't have our elderly and our people at the greatest risk having to be hospitalized.

  • You, Dr Burke?

  • Yes, but thank you, Mr President.

  • Um, very productive call today with governors.

  • We talked about the new rollout of testing that we described yesterday and drive through and community based testing.

  • And I know how grateful the president is for the efforts that governors are making.

  • And now with the admiral and, uh, the United States Public Health Service is, well, it's FEMA.

  • We made great progress today in coordinating those efforts, but the other issue that was raised with the president today was personal protective equipment.

  • And the reason I mentioned testing is because one of the recommendations that we have for states is that these remote testing sites make a priority of two groups.

  • One would be people over the age of 65 that have symptoms.

  • We don't want them to go to hospitals or emergency rooms.

  • We want them to go to a remote site in a parking lot of Rhetta isolated community location.

  • But the other categories are health care workers.

  • We want to make sure their health care workers have the opportunity to be tested.

  • And using that new high throughput tests that the president arranged with our major commercial labs will be able to do that much more expeditiously.

  • So we're putting a regal priority on our extraordinary health care workers that are there are at this very hour coming alongside people that are struggling with the Corona virus and people that are concerned that they may have been exposed.

  • The other pieces.

  • We're grateful that the legislation passed by the House of Representatives includes liability protection for in 95 masks produced by companies like 3 a.m. in Minnesota by Honeywell.

  • Literally tens of millions of masks are produced every year for industrial purposes for construction.

  • But the health experts say they could be used Justus readily to protect health care workers from respiratory ailments.

  • 3 a.m. in other companies were not able to sell those to hospitals, but the president negotiated with the Democratic leadership of the House and Senate.

  • We've added a provision to the bill that will, literally, from one company alone at another 30 million masks per month, back to the marketplace for strengthening the supply chain on health care.

  • Workers around America can be absolutely certain that the president and our entire team are gonna continue to put the health of America first and put first our health care workers across this country that are meeting the needs of the people of our country.

  • President, how many kids have been sent down and how many people can actually be tested, I think.

  • And you might want to talk about the roving.

  • So thank you very much for that.

  • Uh, as we talked about yesterday were really entering a new phase of testing.

  • At first, we were at the initial phase where the CDC developed test was only available in public health laboratories in the CDC works very well for a few 1000 tests per day After it gets running, we're now moving into a phase that the big commercial laboratories with high throughput screening have availability.

  • So as we talked about last week, because of the historic efforts of the FDA, a Roche test and as the president predicted, a Thermo Fisher test, we're both produced last week under an emergency use authorization.

  • 1.9 million of those tests will be sequentially into the ecosystem this week from the information we have right now, one million tests are available with all the re agents, everything ready to go primarily at the reference labs called Quest Lab Core and a couple others.

  • Now, it doesn't matter if they're not in your neighborhood, because every day when people get tests, a little white box goes out in front, it gets shipped by an incredible distribution system.

  • The test result in its electronically reported so these air available to people nationwide.

  • We expect more and more than one million coming on board this week as the re agents come up in his people with the testing capacity.

  • Validate that in their own hospitals and other and other places.

  • And in the future, we expect at least two million next week and at least five million the week thereafter.

  • There are also a whole growth of what's called laboratory determined testing or laboratory derived testing, where individual laboratories, because of the regulatory deregulation of the FDA, can develop their own tests and start using them.

  • So if you're a clear certified lab with complexity, you could do that.

  • So the point is, testing is now entering sort of.

  • We normally do in the health care system where big labs in a high throughput basis received these through normal channels.

  • So that part of it is really under way.

  • How many Americans have actually been you have enough?

  • Oh, there is a number.

  • I don't have that number because I've been working on setting up this distribution system so This is where we are.

  • The state and public health laboratories in the CDC are published every day on the CDC website.

  • The CDC gets feeds from lab from lab core inquest, and they get that on a daily basis.

  • What is not being received right now and Ambassador Burkes is fixing is that these homegrown tests in highly complex labs don't necessarily get reported in the system.

  • However, as we move forward, particularly in the height and the commercial phase of where we are right now, we expect about 80 to 85% of the test to flow right into the CDC.

  • We know them.

  • That's not good enough for Ambassador Burke.

  • She wants 100 we'll work on that, I think just to put it a different way, a lot of lot of testing has been going on, and I don't believe anybody has been able to do what we're doing and what we will be doing.

  • And let me just say that we talked about the drive through testing yesterday.

  • I wanted to be clear to everybody.

  • This is just another tool for states in local public health systems and health care systems to use It's not replacing testing that it goes on in a doctor's office or in a hospital.

  • Or if you go to your doctor and wants to get tested in that office.

  • This is just another tool that we're hoping the states to have.

  • And again, as we talked about this is modeled on the FEMA based points of distribution system optimized for testing.

  • We expect this week.

  • We now have gear people being shipped right now today that will be in over 12 states with multiple sites, many of molten, many of states having multiple sites to start augmenting the local capacity and really providing the state in the local people what they need as another way for people to get tested.

  • This'll has never been done before.

  • That's never been done, and certainly not on a level like that.

  • And I will say that I think I can speak for the professionals that if you don't have the symptoms, if your doctor doesn't think you need it, don't get the test.

  • Don't get the test.

  • I think it's very, but not everybody should run out and get the test.

  • But we were able to handle uh, tremendous numbers of people president.

  • Earlier today, Governor Cuomo New York said that he believes that hospital hospital capacity soon will be overwhelmed and implored you to call in the Army Corps of Engineers to build temporary facilities to house patients.

  • Is that something?

  • We're looking into it.

  • We've heard that we've heard it from really two places.

  • There are two places that have specifically New York being one, and we're looking into it very strongly.

  • You changed your old behavior to take accounts.

  • You are washing your hands more.

  • I've always wash my hands a lot.

  • I wish my hands a lot.

  • Probably, uh, maybe of anything more.

  • Certainly not less not not, uh, something I want to do every day.

  • I can tell you that.

  • It's, you know, it's a little bit of a, uh, it's a little bit of good doctors in the White House, but it's a test.

  • It's a test.

  • It's a medical test.

  • Nothing pleasant about it.

  • Said that in a tweet, Governor Cuomo should be doing more what I think you can do once.

  • But I think I think he can get more on, you know, it's an area of the country that's really hot, right now I think New Rochelle and place.

  • I know very well I threw up right near New Rochelle.

  • I think it's a It's a very no.

  • I think it's, ah, area that has to be tamped down even more because it's a hotbed.

  • There's no question about it, So I think they could look at doing, but we're getting along very well.

  • We've had a very in fact.

  • I noticed he made some statements just now that the relationship with the federal government has been good.

  • The federal government has done everything they wanted us to do.

  • But we can, Uh I think I think it's very important that all of the governor's get along very well with us so that we get along with the governors and I think that's happening, decided to separate and being a bubble to avoid the spread of the disease and to protect the chain of command.

  • Is that something you and the bites president should be doing?

  • And has there been any talk about having to have a 25th Amendment?

  • We haven't thought of it, but, you know, I will say this that, uh, it's, uh we're very careful.

  • Very careful was with, you know, being together, even the people behind me or very, they've been very strongly tested.

  • I've been very strongly tested, and we have to be very careful.

  • But everybody should be vigilant.

  • We have to be vigilant to simple questions about people you don't know.

  • This is a question for you, for Dr Burke.

  • But Dr Burke said that it is the millennials who were gonna lead us through this and that.

  • Now is the time toe.

  • Look out.

  • For the older people in our home, older might be a state of mind.

  • Not necessarily an age.

  • So for those millennials of us who have parents who are in their fifties sixties seventies, what is older?

  • What should we tell them this?

  • Well, if I was Dr Fauci, I would tell you there's a physiologic age on a new miracle age.

  • So older people with preexisting conditions.

  • What do we mean by that?

  • You know, significant heart disease, significant kidney disease, significant lung disease, any immuno suppression, any recent treatment for cancer, Any of those pieces.

  • And any household?

  • No.

  • Why do I think the millennials are the key?

  • Because they're the ones that are out and about and they're the most likely to be in social gatherings, and they're the most likely to be the least symptomatic.

  • I think we've always heard about the greatest generation, were protecting the greatest generation right now and the Children of the greatest generation.

  • And I think the millennials can help us tremendously by having a plus.

  • They need to communicate with each other.

  • Public health people like myself don't always come out with compelling and exciting messages that a 25 to 35 year old may find interesting and something that will take to heart.

  • But millennials can speak to one another about how important it is in this moment to protect all of the people.

  • Now you could be 40 and have a significant medical condition and be a substantial risk.

  • You could be 30 and having come through Hodgkin's disease or non Hodgkin's lymphoma and b of the significant risk.

  • So there are risk groups in every age group, but the eight there's more millennials now than any other cohort, and they can help us at this moment.

  • Thank you very much.

  • Thank you very much, Mr President.

  • You already talk, Mr President The other day you said that you were not responsible for the testing shortfall.

  • Very simple question.

  • Does the buck stops with you, and on a scale of 1 to 10 how would you rate your response to this crisis?

  • I'd read it A tent.

  • I think we've done a great job, and it started with the fact that we kept Avery highly infected country despite all of the even the professionals saying now it's too early to do that.

  • We were very, very early with respect to China, and we would have a whole different situation in this country.

  • If we didn't do that, I would rate it a very, very I would rate ourselves and the professionals.

  • I think the professionals have done a fantastic job as far as the testing.

  • You heard the admiral.

  • I think the testing that we've done, we really took over an obsolete system or put it maybe in a different way, a system that wasn't meant to do anything like this.

  • We took it over, and we're doing something that's never been done in this country, and I think that we are doing very well.

  • We took the system, we worked with the system.

  • We had and we broke down the system purposely.

  • We broke it down in order to do what we're doing now and within a short period of time.

  • And even now we're testing tremendous numbers of people, and ultimately you're saying it will be what it will be up to.

  • How many people will be we'd be able to test?

  • Well, we certainly expect.

  • With the high throughput testing that that's no longer a barrier, the barrier is actually doing the test on a person I'm sure is the president Will would inform you in order to do the test.

  • A health care provider needs to dress in full personal protective equipment, full personal protective equipment, and there's a swab that's put in the back of the nose all the way to the back of the throat.

  • It's called a nasal Ferrin jewel swab, which is then put in media.

  • The next person who has to get tested.

  • That health care provider has to change all the personal protective equipment.

  • When you put that in, it's highly likely a person coughs or sneezes, so you're at risk.

  • So that's what we're trying to fix now by the mobile platforms by all the things were doing is to enable sort of high throughput of this swab ing.

  • And we're doing some technological things to that might be breakthroughs to make it much, much faster.

  • But we certainly expect that from thousands of people per day.

  • We will.

  • We will be at the tens of thousands of people per day this week according to those who are normally.

  • But I think when you hear the you know this has never been done before in this country.

  • If you look back, take a look at some of the things that took place in 09 or 11 or whatever it may have been they never did.

  • Nobody's ever done anything like what we're doing.

  • I will also say, Ed, Well, I think we can say that we're also getting this ready for the future so that when we have a future problem, if and when and hopefully we don't have anything like this.

  • But if there is, we're gonna be very we're gonna be starting from a much higher plateau because we were in a very, very low base.

  • We at a system that was not meant for this.

  • It was a smaller system.

  • It was meant for a much different purpose.

  • And for that purpose, it was fine.

  • But not for this purpose.

  • So we broke down the system, and now we have something that's gonna be and is very special and is ready for future.

  • Probably.

  • I think we could say that very strongly.

  • President Locals are you to shutting down America's northern border with Canada?

  • And could you also, uh, speak to the fact about the elections that are supposed to be taking place tomorrow?

  • Isn't it your advice of those states postponed those elections?

  • Well, I'd leave that up to the States.

  • It's a big thing postponing an election.

  • I think to me that really goes to the heart of what we're all about.

  • I think postponing an election is a very tough thing.

  • I know they're doing because they've been in touch with us.

  • They're doing it very carefully.

  • They're spreading people out very a great distances that you can see, and I think they'll do it very safely.

  • I hope they do it very safely, but I think postponing elections is a very it's not a very good thing.

  • They have lots of room and a lot of the electro places, and I think that they will do it very well.

  • But I think postponing is unnecessary orders, sir.

  • Think about it.

  • We think about it.

  • If we don't have to do it, that will be good.

  • We have a very strong emergency powers when it comes to something like this, both on the southern and the northern borders.

  • And we, uh we are talking about different things, but we'll see right now, we have not decided to do that, Steve.

  • Dr.

  • Fauci to talk about the vaccine file today whether the time table for vaccine has is it possible accelerators were still with 12 18.

  • Thank you for that question.

  • The vaccine candidate that was given the first injections for the first person took place today.

  • You might recall when we first thought it, I said it would be 2 to 3 months.

  • And if we did that, that would be the fastest we've ever gone from obtaining the sequence to being able to do a Phase one trial.

  • This has been now 65 days, which I believe is the record what it is.

  • It's the trial of 45 normal individuals between the ages of 18 and 55 the trial is taking place in Seattle.

  • There will be two injections, one at zero day, 1st 1 than 28 days.

  • There will be three separate doses, 25 milligrams of 100 milligrams, 250 milligrams.

  • And the individuals will be followed for one year, both for safety and whether it induces the kind of response that we predict would be protective.

  • And that's exactly what I've been telling this group over and over again.

  • So it's happened the first injection was today.

  • Mark it down 3013% response to the market.

  • About 30.

  • Thank you, Dr Fauci, is their guidance for someone who may have felt sick but then feels better.

  • So you had symptoms, but you no longer do.

  • Your fever's gone away.

  • How long would you stay home after that point?

  • That's not clear from the if you were.

  • If you are positive for the infection, if you have a Corona virus, it is less how you feel than whether or not you're still shedding virus.

  • So the general issue about letting people out of a facility who, for example, a hospital, whatever, who have been infected, you need to negative cultures the same way that was just described 24 hours apart.

  • Theo Market.

  • The market will take care of itself.

  • The market will be very strong as soon as we get rid of the virus.

  • That pregnant women.

  • Is that because you said today the pregnancy was one of those underlying conditions?

  • Do we stay that, too?

  • There's very little data and pregnant women.

  • I think I About a week ago, I said that reports that came in from China from the Chinese CDC.

  • Of the nine women who were documented to be pregnant and have Corona virus in their last try semester delivered healthy Children and they themselves were healthy and recovered.

  • That is our total sample size, and we will be getting more data from countries.

  • While countries are in the midst of this crisis like Italy, it's I try not to bother them frequently to get us their data.

  • We try to get it just weekly from the countries that are in the midst of responding to the epidemic, said that their focus is on their individuals in their country.

  • What people like Devin Nunes, the governor of Oklahoma, have been saying encouraging people to go out to restaurants, which goes directly against what this advice in your guidelines says.

  • You know, I haven't heard that I haven't heard that from Devon or anybody else.

  • Stop saying that.

  • We'll have to see what they said.

  • But, uh, restaurants they felt way would disagree with.

  • Right now, we don't have an order one way or the other.

  • We don't have another, but I think it's probably better that you don't, especially in certain areas.

  • Oklahoma doesn't have a tremendous problem.

  • Okay, you said the governor of governors and their mother, Yeah, I had that.

  • Its adverse to what?

  • The professionals, they're saying That's what you're saying in your guide People sitting with I'll take a look at it.

  • I don't know who would be best answer.

  • Discretion May be Secretary is over.

  • Dr Fauci Schools School districts across the country are closing down, yet for the most part, daycare centers remain open and considering the Children can sometimes be asymptomatic carriers and go home to older individuals.

  • Are there any recommendations about day care center?

  • That's it, all right.

  • That's a good question.

  • In the original guidelines.

  • As they were, they were presented.

  • It was school, not a daycare.

  • I think it's very important.

  • We should probably have not dispense that, go back and discuss that in some detail about whether or not that's equivalent to school.

  • Good question.

  • But the question about the sort of underlying public health strategy behind some of these guidelines telling people to avoid restaurants and bars is a different thing than saying that bars and restaurants should check down over the next 15 days.

  • So why was it seen as being imprudent and that not necessary to take that edition of Step Off that additional kinds?

  • Well, I think we have to say the data have that has been coming out, and I'm sure you're all up to the data up to date on how long the virus lives on hard surfaces.

  • And that has been our concern over the last two weeks.

  • No, I'm sorry.

  • Good.

  • I just wanted to read. 00:47:5

thank you.
