CORONAVIRUS LATEST: —Economic stimulus may exceed $2 trillion, up from $1 trillion —New Jersey governor mandates lockdown —Vice Pres. Pence says he's getting tested for the coronavirus

1:33 p.m.: New Jersey governor mandates lockdown

"There's a move on that that's incredible right now, and by way of example, Hanes, everybody knows Hanes, retrofitting manufacturing capabilities in large sections of the plants to produce masks, and they're in the process right now," Trump said. New York City reported 6,000 cases, Westchester County 1,300 cases and Nassau County 1,200, according to Cuomo.

New York Sen. Chuck Schumer said the president told him he would approve the measure earlier Friday evening. The bipartisan novel coronavirus economic relief package initially planned to cost around $1 trillion may expand to more than $2 trillion, according to Larry Kudlow, the White House's top economic adviser.

Senate Democrats are still pushing to bolster unemployment insurance, which continues to be one of the major sticking points in the negotiations.8:59 a.m.: Feds will have to prioritize supply and demand, former WH security adviser says

My heart goes out to these beautiful people. Will continue to pray if you need a retired nurse; call me

I'd love to see each news entity at the Covid update meetings refer ALL questions to Pence, Fauci etc. Bypass Trump each time.

We are closing down the world because less than .0002 percent of the world population got a virus. This is truly WTF logic

there is no shortage of mask and gloves the media has lied about this, Hospitals have to pay high taxes for respirators and the hospitals are full of all equipment that they need, China and Italy and Iran have the highest death count they need this more then we do

It’s all too little too late... It’s spread everywhere like wildfire...

Actual current Numbers. Reports earlier this morning stated that evidence showed China stopped reporting 'mild' cases back in early February, so the ratings are skewed, but going just by current Numbers right now, the worldwide death rate is 4.25%. The current US rate is 1.25%

Okay, gargle/rinse w/ warm salt water; drink water w/squeezed lemon or lime (citrus). Avoid coffee, alcohol (lowers immune system), more vitamin c & more rest; common sense helps too; add some of that. Avoid hospitals and doctors offices; germs...We’ll get through this. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

BEAWAREANDPREPARE

Poor people aren’t getting tested so why should I care if the VP and his wife is getting tested. 🙄 how in the hell is that suppose to help us. 🤷🏽‍♀️

13,000 people dead and we’re destroying industries, economies, and reserve banks? 🤔

NotMyPresident called it a hoax.

Angie_RejoinEU You can add a few zeros to that

For anyone who just got anxiety: over 94,600 have recovered, and counting. Take it one day at a time.

Pray for the best. Also being in the best health and shape that you can will certainly help folks.

But I am still seeing idiots who don't take this seriously here in Utah. I hope thet don't get us all sick.

CoronaVirus :

How many deaths will the USA have waiting for March 31st!!!!! trumps lack of response and worse and his incoherence Are criminal. He should be removed from office

MARCH 30TH?!?

Only Allahu SWA can protect anyone from this pandemic.

4% death rate globally. I know we can’t test and these numbers will go down (which is a problem of it’s own). Much worse than the flu. Any of you loud mouths out there care to change your position yet? Time to take this seriously if you haven’t been for the past ten days.

4+ % death rate

Family of jailed Egyptian activist Alaa Abdel Fattah arrested FreeEgypt from sisi_killer FreePoliticalPrisoners StoptTorture HumanRights

Oh no 🥺

A bit too late for alot of people, the USA government have failed the American people, Medicare for all would provide the care needed and stop the high insurance greed that isn't fit for purpose

Would be great if they can send one to every American

If a Democrat was in charge, we'd all be dead by March 30.

Good👍

By March 30, do they have even an inkling of the exponential growth in cases we will see

Wow. Just in time. 🙄🙄😬

I have no doubt now, that Chinese govt officials were smiling as hundreds of their infected citizens were flying thru out the world, especially those traveling 2 the US. Those stinking baste__s, knew this crisis was a strong possibility. So I SAY- BOYCOTT ALL CHINESE PRODUCTS.

I’ll believe it when I see it. They lie every time they take the podium. TrumptheWorstPresidentEVER

Great news. I love all scientists!❤

Now start rolling out the vaccines! You can’t tell me that the CDC or some secret facility that has every virus, bacteria etc known to man, that they don’t purposely alter its genetics to see what they an create to be ready for the next out break.

Let Italy seek for help from China.. since they have curtailed theirs

Is that 2020 or 2021?

It’s unbelievable how a country like the US is so far behind on this.

So the question is, will it be widely distributed and can people who do not have severe symptoms be tested, so we can start to flatten the curve? Just to have the test approved, does not solve the problem. It must be widely distributed and used!

Find an anti dote

greta Please tell that to the liberal media that keeps spewing lies.

If Pence is going to be tested, why in the name of God was it necessary to be at the recent press briefing?

Good. My friend tested on a Thursday and her results came back the following Monday.

m2254 Can you imagine if this was available in February?

Great news!

The test had their highest value to save lives and contain the virus 2 months ago. Where were these test back then? Our deployment of virus test is among the WORST of any nation on earth! How is that possible being the richest/most powerful nation on earth? Trump is President!

Stop showing the live Trump press conferences. He is spewing inaccurate information. Show what the professionals from the task force say directing afterward. Please!

greta This administration is doing a fantastic job. Slow at first, totally balls out lately.

Seeing is believing. These guys are like Brutus, in the old Poeye cartoons: I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today....

Amen !!!!!! wow thats fast....... Thank you FDA

jade25801418 Greatest president ever working hard to stop this.

Meanwhile her awesome questions continue.

greta It sounds like the Administration is doing all it can to help America get through this.

Why not have in the self test kit an analyzer that can tell the individual if they test positive or not. That would be quicker overall.

Let me guess, it’s from a Kushner affiliate?

It's mind-boggling to me that the US virus response was outperformed by South Korea, a country that less than 80 years ago had an economy based on agriculture and it's citizens living in shacks.

March 30th?

South Korea women are suffering from sex crimes. PLZ give attention to this horrible crime. nthroom

NINE F'n DAYS MORE!!!!

CoronavirusPandemic

R_ZenBo We’ll see

Gamechanger .. if they can actually get them out in quantity numbers

I’ll believe it when I see it.

South Korea's test takes 7 minutes.

TheView But Americans can’t. Unless we get put on respirator. Fuck the elite.

TheView Republicans want to prevent Social Security and those receiving disability payments from receiving any bailout money.

SHUT OUR AIRPORTS

TrevorLAult you have GOT to STOP broadcasting this disinformation without a split-screen fact check. PLEASE. We need facts, not fairytales of a possible future being told as if they were happening today

TrevorLAult Dailybriefing on coronavirus COVID19 have become POTUS rallies with hardly any actual numbers of what and how many have been sent to states. Just big words followed by 'we are doing gr8 job'. NewsHour NBCNews FoxNews npr cnn CBSNews bbc reuters AllVotersAffected 🇺🇸

Please fix your comment section on ABC news. It seem the community of 12 posters get everyone banned.

TrevorLAult

TrevorLAult My company is currently using N95 masks made from USA, can someone make me understand this video's message

WorldNews TrevorLAult Through eBay?! MORONS!!!

TrevorLAult DO NOT SHOW TRUMP LIVE. Record, fact check, and report the truth to America. You are complicit in a daily disinformation cycle that will get Americans killed. DO BETTER.

TrevorLAult

TrevorLAult Trump is doing a great job.

TrevorLAult Fired pandemic team in 2018. True. Like saying the fire department had the greatest response ever to an inferno two years after you disabled the smoke alarms. Unbelievable

WorldNews TrevorLAult N95 masks make breathing difficult and place additional strain on the lungs and heart.

TrevorLAult Impotent Access. That’s how the White House correspondents whca seem to be aggressively asking questions in the Task Force Daily Briefing Dog & Pony Show. realDonaldTrump repeatedly blames past administrations and still do not know when PPE’s will be in hands of workers.

TrevorLAult Did he mention that the company going make all the money off these limited test is owned by Jared Trump? Funny how that happens,,,,

Out of control. So sad

Omg. please God help us all.

That's too hard to think about. I am heartbroken for Italy 💔😥😢! Blessings of Comfort Strength Health and Peace for Italy & the World!

Can I administer the swabs, please! Lol!

TrevorLAult The Trump administration signaled a WILLINGNESS to remove tariffs on medical supplies from China

WorldNews TrevorLAult these industrial masks are not great for hospital setting they don’t pass a smell test like the ones used in healthcare, so why does he keep talking about liability being lifted if they are just as good... makes no sense this is $ for 3M and more deregulation while people die.

It’s really so sad 😭

TrevorLAult How is it the vice president is being given a Covid 19 test when he's not showing any signs while other people who have signs of this disease cannot acquire one?
