WASHINGTON — President Trump has made no secret of his impatience to lift the social distancing measures that have about nine out of 10 Americans at home and the U.S. economy at a near standstill. But speaking at the daily briefing of the White House coronavirus task force on Thursday evening, Vice President Mike Pence, who heads that task force, indicated that the end to those restrictions might not come anytime soon.
Pence said that “the best thing we can do to reopen America is put the coronavirus behind us, to reach the end of that curve with as little loss of life or hardship as possible.” The curve he was referring to is the by now ubiquitous graph showing data on daily infections. Flattening that curve — that is, decreasing the number of day-over-day new infections — has been the primary goal of public health officials across the country.
Story continuesThe coronavirus causes a disease called COVID-19, which, as of Thursday evening, had killed about 16,500 Americans. It has often fallen to the former Indiana governor to explicate or mitigate Trump’s pronouncements, which can be contradictory or confusing. So far, the vice president has managed to do so without angering his famously sensitive boss.

Good cop, bad cop: The Trump-Pence dynamic in the coronavirus crisisEven as he earned the president’s praise, Pence is careful never to assume credit directly and consistently attributes anything positive to the president’s decision-making prowess. They are Evil 👿👿 fiction, written as if the author / narrator can hear the thoughts of the characters in his story, and designed to trigger emotions and push the media narrative of trump-as-tyrant. it's also based on a false premise since vps don't historically try to one-up their presidents.. Stop this already!! Check your blood pressure and rest. Geez, so done with you too.

Gotta keep the fear going..... Flattening the curve does not mean its over. It means it is spreading out over a longer time to resolution. I think in the future everyone is going to make sure that they have plenty of toilet paper on hand.
