The Wuhan Coronavirus Task Force Briefs Americans from the White House

Trump: "We haven't been getting the credit we deserve...but the main credit goes to the American people."

“Some 90% of Americans that are tested do not test positive for the coronavirus,” Vice President Pence says.

Reporter: What do you say to scared Americans?

Pence: Don't be scared, be vigilant.

Pence answers Peter Alexander question that Trump refused: "Don't be afraid, be vigilant." 

Clarifying whether invocation of DPA meant he was "requiring" industry to create medical supplies, Trump says, so far that has been unnecessary. He said private companies, including the automobile industry, have approached the administration with offers to produce medical supplies. 

Trump dismisses de Blasio's critical statements: "I'm not dealing with de Blasio, I'm dealing with the governor...I guess they're not agreeing with each other."

Trump on Mayor de Blasio's claim that he is "betraying" New York City by not deploying the military to assist NYC: "I'm not working with him, I'm working with the Governor ... and we're in sync."

The self obsession of these reporters with their own rhetorical treatment during a pandemic is borderline disqualifying.

Trump on phase three stimulus bill: I would "Demand" there be no stock buybacks. This is for the workers.

Trump: It's unfortunate this got out control, it came from China and got out of control

Trump is fine with restricting companies engaging in buybacks from economic package
