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.
