Latest Presidential Briefing on Coronavirus
President Trump and several members of his staff held another briefing on Coronavirus today. Several topics were covered including the lack of medical supplies for hospitals across the country.
Vice President Mike Pence also announced that he and his wife will be tested after a staff member in his office tested positive.
The Senate continues to work on a stimulus package to get help to businesses and individuals. The pricetag is expected to top $2 trillion dollars and will likely include cash payments to many Americans. Those checks could go out as soon as April 6th.
The latest numbers show there have been more than 19,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States and 260 people have died.
