White House's Virus Task Force Will No Longer Brief Public

Source: BNN Bloomberg

(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump’s coronavirus task force hasn’t been seen in the White House briefing room in weeks. On Friday, Trump’s press secretary made its shelving official.

Kayleigh McEnany said Friday that the task force will no longer brief the public, now that the U.S. is pressing ahead with reopening its economy. McEnany said that she will relay any further information about the coronavirus outbreak, instead.

“Those happened in the very early days of Covid-19 and the pandemic, we were making major decisions,” she said of the briefings that featured the nation’s top infectious disease expert, Anthony Fauci, and task force coordinator and epidemiologist Deborah Birx. “Now we’re in a more regular routine.”

That would also help expose the governors who stand by and watch their citizens die just to suck up to Bunker Boy
