Trump, Coronavirus Task Force hold a press conference at White House
Fox News
A third really good press conference lasting a hour with another press conference announced for later today or tomorrow morning. I almost hate to be critical at all, because I think these press conferences have been good for the President, the people, and the markets, but the President was as usual the weakest speaker. He said stuff like "it's the invisible enemy, that's always the toughest enemy, the invisible enemy, but we're going to defeat the invisible enemy. I think we are going to do it even faster than we thought. and it will be a complete victory. It will be a total victory." On the other hand he announced invoking the defense production act. That sounds very important, even though nobody really explained why. His advisers were excellent. Lots of news, statistics, policy reinforcement, and announcements.
The President consistently defended the 15 day guidelines, he consistently spoke about bipartisanship, and he shouted out to Gov Cuomo several times. I found all of that comforting and reinforcing my unrealistic fantasy that President Trump is focused on this virus, and the panic surrounding it, to the exclusion of all else.
I missed Dr Fauci, and Mnuchin. I'm also waiting for the introduction of the head of the Pandemic Response Office that a fellow Briefer informed me was not dissolved by President Trump in 2018. @Mesaclone
2 things did aggravate me. President Trump said the virus snuck up on us, and he wastes a lot of time calling the virus "the Chinese virus" and then unconvincingly defending it as not racist.

I did save a Snip of the Tweet in case it disappears. Intentional or unintentional, this very wrong information was a hindrance to countries trying to gauge appropriate action and would likely have caused some delay. Depending on when WHO did their about-face, Trump's January 17th action, the beginning of screening passengers arriving from China, may have been despite WHO's very wrong information.
