President Trump, accompanied by Vice President Pence and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, met with GOP senators about the coronavirus on Tuesday.President Trump, accompanied by Vice President Pence and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, met with GOP senators about the coronavirus on Tuesday.One of the nation's leading infectious disease experts issued a stern warning on Tuesday: If you think you have escaped the spread of the coronavirus, do not become complacent.

"For the country right now to say, 'We're going to close all the schools in the country,' I don't think would be appropriate," Fauci said, adding that the country should, however,"do real mitigation some time before you think you really need it." Pence said White House officials would"fan out" and talk to lawmakers to move the economic relief package forward.

"The risk to the average American of contracting the coronavirus remains low," Pence said."The risk to senior citizens with serious underlying chronic health conditions is very significant."White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said it may be possible to work around Congress by using administrative authority to fund unpaid sick leave, but he declined to elaborate on any specifics, saying a deal is still being hammered out.

Trump did not announce any economic proposals after his meetings, but said"a lot of good things are going to happen."

45 has said a lot of things. If anyone has believed anything he has said, ever; well I hope they're doing okay! But here's me, a white female flying to Washington at the end of March. Going balls deep into the COVID19 territory. Will update as things progress. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

Tell that to the Whitehouse.

Why would anyone in US think they've escaped coronavirus? It's just beginning and could stretch through the summer. Stay informed, ask questions and wash your hands. Often.

And (his) hotels.
