Live Stream at HHS x 12:30pm ET today (6/26/2020), there’ll be a Covid-19 Taskforce briefing, the 1st in ~2 months. Hope for more truth/facts from Dr. Fauci, but suspect Pence’ll ‘happytalk’ it instead. I trust Dr. Fauci, less so Dr. Birx & CDC’s Dr. Redfield (think CDC’s been muzzled by Admin).😷 pic.twitter.com/aidZscgJYD— Barbara Bennett (@b2_bennett)…

LIVE BLOG: daily COVID Taskforce briefing “A cruel virus from a distant land.”
In a total reversal, Grand Moff Trump will apparently back off on ordering(sic) a national May 1 “reopening date”.
