S. Senate our White House Correspondent can be held joins us live so we have seen the white house and republicans really moving decisively in favor of starting to ease the lockdown measures but sobering remarks around me found here today yeah. Is a highly respected Public Health official anthony found she and he certainly didnt mince words when it comes to the concerns he has about reopening the economy prematurely he said that it would have consequences consequences that he said could manifest in a spike in cases if that very careful phase guideline put in place is ignored take a listen to what he had to say they feel if that occurs it is a real risk that you will trigger an outbreak you may not be able to control which in fact after dark simply will set you back only leading to some suffering and death could be avoided it could even set you back a rule to try to get that konami recovery which would always turn the clock back rather than Going Forward that is my view that your concerns. Have been any reaction from president trying to this company.

S. President has touted as a success even now he in his view exceeding south korea that tim kaine pointed out in fact that there are still a very high number of deaths that are occurring in the United States still the White House Press secretary saying that the u. S. Testing is now happening at a higher rate than south korea which was once considered the Gold Standard she also went on to dispute some of the points made by senator Elizabeth Warren saying that the number of that she was using were inflated in the view of the white house the center saying there were 25000 new cases just today of coronavirus the white house disputing that number saying in fact there were less than 20000 and we should point out when it comes to the issue of infections here at the white house of course there has been a bit of an outbreak that has been widely reported including the Vice President s press secretary katie miller it is important to note that for the 1st time today we spotted the Vice President arriving for work here at the white house wearing a mask something he did not do yesterday we should also let you know that the Vice President has decided as a result of possible exposure with his press secretary that he is going to for the foreseeable future keep his distance at least for a few days from President Trump all right.
