Pence: Coronavirus Task Force Could Dissolve Within Weeks, Cites 'Tremendous Progress'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

TOPLINE Vice President Mike Pence confirmed Tuesday that the coronavirus task force could wind down within weeks, but it’s unclear if the task force will be replaced, potentially leaving a vacuum in a centralized, national response to COVID-19 even as the country faces increasing numbers of fatalities due to the disease.

The potential task force wind down, first reported by the New York Times, comes amid a curtailing of daily press briefings and fewer appearances from members like Anthony Fauci, the country’s top infectious diseases expert.

The anticipated wind down could happen after Memorial Day, Pence told reporters Tuesday, citing “the tremendous progress we’ve made as a country.”

Moving forward, the White House will focus on therapeutics, testing and vaccine development as the country reopens, according to an unnamed senior official interviewed by the Times.

1. over 70 thousand Americans are dead so far

what could be tremendous progress to these heartless imbeciles?

2. What the fuck.

Is it because they are useless and ineffective?

3. On one of the deadliest days since the pandemic began too.

2,320 dead. Moron conservatives can click their heels and wish the pandemic away all they want, it's not going anywhere.

4. There's about zero chance of that, but I hope they do.

This is just the new version of "reopening on Easter." Just propaganda. It's just a way for Trump to imply compliments to himself on how well things are going now. "I must be doing great now! Otherwise, why would I be considering dropping the task force?"

And I hope they do, because that will just get their little propaganda office out of the way. (Which is why I think they won't do it.)

5. It's a "Mission Abandoned" moment. nt

6. The 'task force' was just a front that allowed Wuhan Don to host his daily shitshow.

But he pooched himself with the disinfectants/lights and blew up the show. The cast members are no longer needed, so the task force is being disbanded. It's as simple as that.
