Coronavirus Live Updates: Governors to Lay Out Road Map for Reopening Coronavirus Live Updates: Social Distancing Will Last For Months, Birx Says
(about 1 hour later)
As the nation shifts toward slowly reviving the economy, with several states allowing a gradual reopening of businesses and others indicating they will soon do the same, governors from across the country are set to appear on television on Sunday to articulate the latest steps in their response to the coronavirus pandemic. Americans should expect social distancing guidelines to continue for months, Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator, said in a televised interview on Sunday.
Dr. Birx was asked on the NBC program “Meet the Press” about a claim by Vice President Mike Pence, who said on Thursday, “Honestly, if you look at the trends today, I think by Memorial Day weekend we will largely have this coronavirus epidemic behind us.” Mr. Pence made the statement on Geraldo Rivera’s radio show.
Dr. Birx responded that she thought Mr. Pence was being hopeful, based on trends in places like Detroit and Louisiana where case counts appear to have peaked. But she also said, “social distancing will be with us through the summer.”
Throughout the interview with Chuck Todd, Dr. Birx seemed to be taking pains to avoid directly contradicting or undermining the White House’s messages about the pandemic.
Asked about President Trump’s recent suggestions that household disinfectants or sunlight might be used as a treatment, she noted that direct sunlight had shown promise in shortening the virus’s half-life on surfaces. “This is not a treatment,” she said.
Mr. Todd asked Dr. Birx if she was concerned that the president’s statements — including his repeated promotion of antimalaria drugs that are unproven for coronavirus and can cause serious heart problems — were undermining the credibility of scientists on the administration’s coronavirus task force.
“I think all of us are very clear, and very clear in our discussions with the American people, how we’re looking and utilizing data to drive decision-making within the task force,” Dr. Birx said.

For weeks, the Sunday morning talk shows have emerged as highly visible platforms for governors to detail the urgent needs of their states and, at times, to challenge President Trump and demand a more robust federal response.For weeks, the Sunday morning talk shows have emerged as highly visible platforms for governors to detail the urgent needs of their states and, at times, to challenge President Trump and demand a more robust federal response.

Andrew M. Cuomo on Saturday announced new steps to ramp up testing, offering eligibility to more residents and allowing any pharmacy in the state to conduct tests.
Mr. Cuomo, who has emphasized that testing capacity needed to increase sharply before he would consider reopening the state’s economy more widely, said that emergency workers, health care workers and essential employees could be tested even if they are not showing symptoms. He also announced an executive order allowing any of the state’s roughly 5,000 pharmacies to administer tests.Mr. Cuomo, who has emphasized that testing capacity needed to increase sharply before he would consider reopening the state’s economy more widely, said that emergency workers, health care workers and essential employees could be tested even if they are not showing symptoms.

Americans should expect social distancing guidelines to continue for months, Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator, said in a televised interview on Sunday.
Dr. Birx was asked on the NBC program “Meet the Press” about a claim by Vice President Mike Pence, who said on Thursday, “Honestly, if you look at the trends today, I think by Memorial Day weekend we will largely have this coronavirus epidemic behind us.” Mr. Pence made the statement on Geraldo Rivera’s radio show. As officials warn that a fifth round of federal aid will probably be necessary to mitigate the economic damage from the coronavirus pandemic, Democrats in Congress are doubling down on their insistence that the next round include money for state and local governments.
Dr. Birx responded that she thought Mr. Pence was being hopeful, based on trends in places like Detroit and Louisiana where case counts appear to have peaked. But she also said, “social distancing will be with us through the summer.” Unlike the federal government, states must balance their budgets, and have seen their tax revenue plummet with the shutdown of much of the economy, even as surging unemployment and emergency response needs have drained their resources.
Throughout the interview with Chuck Todd, Dr. Birx seemed to be taking pains to avoid directly contradicting or undermining the White House’s messages about the pandemic. Kevin Hassett, a senior adviser to the White House, acknowledged that the federal government would probably have to help the states. “The economic lift for policymakers is an extraordinary one,” he said.
Asked about President Trump’s recent suggestions that household disinfectants or sunlight might be used as a treatment, she noted that direct sunlight had shown promise in shortening the virus’s half-life on surfaces. “This is not a treatment,” she said. Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky and the majority leader, has repeatedly said in recent days that he would like to wait before pursuing another sweeping package, given that Congress has already approved nearly $3 trillion in economic aid of various kinds in two months. But Democrats say aid for states and localities cannot wait.
Mr. Todd asked Dr. Birx if she was concerned that the president’s statements — including his repeated promotion of antimalaria drugs that are unproven for coronavirus and can cause serious heart problems — were undermining the credibility of scientists on the administration’s coronavirus task force. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Democrat of California, blocked the most recent bill, which replenished a loan program for small businesses, until it included money for hospitals and testing. But Republicans balked at including more funds for states and localities, and the bill ultimately passed without it.
“I think all of us are very clear, and very clear in our discussions with the American people, how we’re looking and utilizing data to drive decision-making within the task force,” Dr. Birx said. On Sunday, Ms. Pelosi rejected the suggestion that Democrats could have done more. Asked to respond to criticism from Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York, Ms. Pelosi said on the CNN program “State of the Union”: “Just calm down. We will have state and local, and we will have it in a very significant way.”
As for the most recent bill, she said, “Judge it for what it does. Don’t criticize it for what it doesn’t.”
Steven Mnuchin, the Treasury secretary, declined to weigh in on the debate on Sunday.
“This is something we’ll consider but our focus right now is really on execution,” Mr. Mnuchin said on Fox News. “If we need to spend more money, we will, and we’ll only do it with bipartisan support.”
On the first day in weeks that the White House did not hold a briefing on the coronavirus, President Trump lashed out at the news media on Twitter for asking “hostile questions” and suggested that his daily appearances were no longer worth his time.On the first day in weeks that the White House did not hold a briefing on the coronavirus, President Trump lashed out at the news media on Twitter for asking “hostile questions” and suggested that his daily appearances were no longer worth his time.
The tweet came two days after Mr. Trump suggested at a briefing that an “injection inside” the human body with a disinfectant could help combat the coronavirus. Despite a lack of scientific evidence, Mr. Trump has long pushed various ideas against the virus, like sunlight and warmer temperatures as well as an array of drugs, including the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, which he has promoted as a “what have you got to lose” remedy. Medical experts have since stepped up warnings about the drugs’ possibly dangerous side effects.The tweet came two days after Mr. Trump suggested at a briefing that an “injection inside” the human body with a disinfectant could help combat the coronavirus.

Mr. Trump has become angry with Mr. Azar in recent weeks, after articles in The Washington Post and The New York Times detailed decisions and discussions related to the administration’s response to the coronavirus. Mr. Trump, who has closely followed the coverage, was upset that he was being blamed, while Mr. Azar was portrayed in a more favorable light, aides said, adding that the president was also suspicious that Mr. Azar was trying to save his own reputation at the president’s expense.Mr. Trump has become angry with Mr. Azar in recent weeks, after articles in The Washington Post and The New York Times detailed decisions and discussions related to the administration’s response to the coronavirus.
