CAMP MURRAY, Wash. (AP) — Vice President Mike Pence pledged the Trump administration's full support to Washington state officials Thursday as the coronavirus death toll there continued to mount.

The state has been the hardest hit by the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S., with at least 70 confirmed infections and 11 dead. Most of those who died were residents of Life Care Center, a nursing home in Kirkland, a suburb east of Seattle. Researchers say the virus may have been circulating undetected for weeks.

Pence attended a round-table meeting with Gov. Jay Inslee, members of Washington's congressional delegation and local officials to discuss coordinating response to the outbreak

Inslee, in turn, sidestepped a reporter's question about a tweet late last month in which he said he told Pence during a telephone call that joint efforts to combat the coronavirus “would be more successful if the Trump administration stuck to the science and told the truth.”

2. He acted somewhat normal and told the truth

at a press conference about having a shortage of testing kits.

My prediction is.that this will infuriate Trump.

5. "Thoughts and prayers" in 3... 2... 1...

[SergeStorms]

6. So he's going to include Washington State....

7. It makes no difference what this liar says ,

Like with trump you have to watch what he's really doing, because they normally don't do what they say, they just want you to think they'll do that , when they don't. Like trump does.

8. Sharia Law Pence does not care about the people. Period.

He and Trump are working hard on downplaying in order to get re elected.

9. Just a few minutes ago I was listening to a local talk show host on the radio. 104.1 Orlando.

It’s an Orlando station and this is not a political talk show. Anyway he has a daughter in her 20s who is a flight attendant in Seattle Washington. She just came down with 106° fever and went to the hospital. They did not test her for corona virus. Said she did not meet all the criteria! Sent her home to heal on her own her own.

Translation: We don’t have enough fucking test kits.
