    I’m watching on and off and it seems like Trump is just putting people in front of microphones to kiss his ass. Is it me? Pence is a disgusting lickspittle.

    Trump just nearly passed on an opportunity to bash Obama. He couldn’t lay off the follow-up Re: swine flu.

    Direct quote: “I don’t take responsibility at all.”

    Yes, Pence is a disgusting lickspittle. Also not crazy about the woman (a doctor) who kept smiling and nodding her head at everything thing trump said. But Walmart will save us.

    I just heard fragments. Trump got an awesome deal on oil apparently. He was VERY proud of the oil deal. Not sure how that helps us deal with a pandemic, but … whatevs…

    “In response, health officials in several states – from Washington State to Delaware — have tapped the federal government for access to a network of storage facilities scattered across the country that houses the “largest supply of potentially life-saving pharmaceuticals and medical supplies for use in a public health emergency severe enough to cause local supplies to run out,” according to a page on the Department of Health and Human Services website.”

    At the start of the presser, President Trump said that he expects “up to half a million additional tests” to be “available early next week,” after Swiss pharmaceutical firm Roche received expedited approval from the Food and Drug Administration for a test the company developed.

    But later on in the press conference, Roche-North America CEO Matthew Sause offered a far vaguer and less committed view, saying instead that his firm would be “working with laboratories to get it up and going in the near future, which will bring hundreds of thousands of tests available to patients in the United States.”
