Referring to a Trumpian “(w)hole of government approach” Pence is using the WH briefing room to dispense some disinformation where there are now 100 cases (Pence claimed 43 cases) touting a “low risk” (of dying) even as WHO calls the situation (of transmission) a “high risk” one.

More Trumpian low-balling claiming that a vaccine could be available by summer (it won’t be available for at least a year). This echos the lie needed to be corrected by Anthony Fauci in a prior meeting.

Likely availability of therapeutics by Summer overstated.

Emphasis on 100% travel screening using Italian and South Korean data, there is not 100% screening at US ports of entry. Ambiguous comments on levels of US testing (which is lagging).

It's appalling and, frankly, disqualifying that the sitting vice president of the US and the person designated with leading America's response to the coronavirus cannot bring himself to say that, No, Democrats do not want millions of Americans to die from the coronavirus. https://t.co/jRpjdBxr5c

BREAKING: The CDC has stopped disclosing the number of Americans tested for coronavirus.

On the left is how the website looked last night. On the right is what it looks like now, with the testing info removed.

The lack of testing is a scandal.

This is the coverup. pic.twitter.com/za5w9dkEKq

DO – talk about the new #coronavirus disease (#COVID19)

DON'T – attach locations or ethnicity to the disease, this is not a Ã¢Â€ÂœWuhan VirusÃ¢Â€Â, Ã¢Â€ÂœChinese VirusÃ¢Â€Â or Ã¢Â€ÂœAsian VirusÃ¢Â€Â.
The official name for the disease was deliberately chosen to avoid stigmatizationhttps://t.co/yShiCMfYF3 pic.twitter.com/belHrq5HVo

Just to give you an idea how serious South Korean officials are taking this, the founder of the Shincheonji cult at the center of the #COVID19 crisis is under criminal investigation, with many calling for the death penalty. https://t.co/74vxQRwxGT

90 yr old #shincheonji leader Lee Man Hee sent a special letter to the followers three days ago describing #coronavirus outbreak in Korea as an ordeal written in Book of Revelation, Ã¢ÂÂ¦@joongangilboÃ¢ÂÂ© reports. https://t.co/6PGrOFZWIw

Your keyword (phrase) here is “Shincheonji Church of Jesus”. These people are positively dangerous. (Millenarian apocalypse cult who believe their founder is Jesus 2.0 and only the elect will survive the coming apocalypse, which is imminent. Oddly keen on pandemics …)
