He also offered the latest figures on the number of Americans who have been tested: More than 195,000 people have been tested, not including those who were tested in county hospitals or health care labs around the nation. Of those, roughly 19,350 have tested positive for the coronavirus, Pence said. He later specified the government has issued a contract for 500 million N95 masks, saying they are"now" available to hospitals and other health care centers.
He touted his work on legislation to bring economic relief to businesses and workers. He said his administration will give people extra time to file taxes, moving the deadline from April 15 to July 15. Additionally, he said students will not face interest penalties or fines for delaying student loan payments. Homeowners will also get help: Foreclosures and evictions on HUD loans are suspended for the next 60 days.
I have a few ER patients who could use those tests and actually have symptoms.
Can’t wait to see that!
Who they never met!
And knowing that he still stood next to people at the press conference. Way to set an example!
Why would he be in that room, in that tight space with the president Not a very good role model for others are they?
eternal life Jesus , trump , pence , obama limited
Under which guidelines are they being tested? Why is he not maintaining proper distancing during his press conferences?
Pence said chances were low - save tests for people who help save lives, not those who endanger them.
Maybe they should run a brain MRI and see if there is one.
Get trump out of the way, he is an impediment to US success against the virus and the economic damage!
He was going to get a test by himself but the doctor was a woman
I'm truly hoping that they all get it ...
So why is he hanging around closely to people on the dias?
phoenix078 Bet that Pence's wife will not allow him to be alone with a female doctor.
ProfGWhiz Why didn't they get on their knees and pray like they are advising Americans to do. Why waste testing on these deplorables. Such fkg hypocracy.
And yet, he stood right there with the President of the United States for a press conference instead of being quarantined away from each other, as is protocol in a national emergency. Who is running this thing?!
Stop quoting, talking, broadcasting, newsing and huffing about about Trump. Drown him in silence.
Here’s hoping for a positive outcome. If thegoodgodabove is real he will ensure a positive outcome.
I'd like a test too.
The VP and his family and the president and his family should be getting tested daily since we have no idea who has this virus at any given time. And then they should ensure that every American is afforded the same ability to know by making the tests' availability a top priority.
That is a waste of two tests that could be used for someone who really needs them.
trump please stop blah blah blah waste time hurry act behave real doing hurry no late !!!!!
hey hey look word wife please let her frist !!!
No, please no.
Too bad I can't get a test....
I find it hard to believe that they are not all being tested on a regular basis.
