Dont have symptoms you dont need to get a test. We want to make sure the testing is available for people that are experiencing symptoms or have a genuine concern about having been exposed to someone with the coronavirus. Dr. Birx will address county level data as well as progress we made on testing and americans can expect to see how an increased number of cases as our new testing system comes on line should not be a cause of concern. She will explain the importance of taking into account our new testing system as new data arrives over the next several days. On supplies, a priority of the president has given to our task force, we continue to work with Health Care Providers, businesses and state leadership to identify available supplies, not merely in the federal stockpile but much more importantly available across the private sector.

Trying to get it right. Not quite six feet, as recommended, but more than we have seen in the past. We wash our hands when we are done. It is important. Pres. Trump thank you very much. I think this will be an important conference and ill that in the middle, but i have a few things to report. I want to thank you all for being here. I think with social distancing, the media has been much nicer. I dont know what it is. Chairs. E inbetween we probably should not have anyone sitting behind you. You should probably go back. I love it. It is so much nicer. I shouldnt say that because youll probably get me now. Thank you all for being here. We continue our relentless effort to defeat the chinese virus. I want to begin by announcing today we are bringing home another american citizen. This is a big thing. Very big. He is on his way back to the United States after being imprisoned in lebanon since september of 2019. He is battling late stage cancer. He will now be able to receive much needed ca
Limit our fossil fuel consumption and so we cant just talk about banning fracking without talking about specifics on alternatives to liquid transportation fuels and alternatives to natural gas in the power sector obama did call it a bridge fuel in terms of getting us off coal but it seems to be much more of a geo political issue we see with the fracking and the doubling of production its really hailed across bipartisan issues as like where the Number One Oil producer in the world so once it jumps to that level it becomes way more difficult to get off it what do you think about this the Obama Administration could take this is a when i think weve seen the world flip flop from 2008 to today weve basically seen the us go from importing 50000000 barrels a day of oil to down to less than 2000000 barrels a day at the same time china is now importing. Almost 10000000000 barrels a day so now china has become what we were in the seventys and we had the oil crisis i mean the next problem with oil
Environmental issues related to fracking which involves injecting water because with chemicals in particular its like sand very High Pressure deep into hard rock formations youre basically putting a jet engine on the drill and using water at High Pressure instead of the drilling operation so theres tons of Environmental Issues water issues but theres also Climate Change the more oil and natural gas produce we produce the more Greenhouse Gas emissions we emit into the atmosphere and so i think what young people are responding to is we have to respond to the Climate Crisis and the only way to effectively respond to the Climate Crisis is to limit our fossil fuel production to limit our fossil fuel consumption and so we cant just talk about banning fracking without talking about specifics on alternatives to liquid transportation. In fuels and alternatives to natural gas in the power sector obama did call it a bridge fuel in terms of getting us off coal but it seems to be much more of a geo

S. Is the only region in the world that has actually reduced its emissions since 2005 reduced about 7 percent and thats because were replacing the dirtiest fuel coal with natural gas so this idea of banning fracking is a big gain of pollutants absolute you would watch it you would see number one our Living Standards are completely dependent on our electricity production so to just oh no trying to ban Something Like that weve built the entire Energy Infrastructure arou
