Pool Reports of April 2, 2020

in-town pool report 1 - good morning

Hi, all,

As of 10:55 a.m. ET, President Trump has no public events listed on the available schedule, though the daily coronavirus task force on-camera press briefing at the White House is still scheduled for 5:00 p.m. ET today. I'll send along additional info. if/when that changes.

Out on the driveway earlier this a.m., Dr. Deborah Birx did a TV hit. Several reporters tried to ask her questions, ranging from Q's about the millions of newly uninsured Americans to her scarves, around 10:35 a.m. ET, but Dr. Birx did not stop to gaggle, with staff citing that she was late for a meeting.

I'm your print pooler for the day, so if you haven't been able to make it to the White House lately due to concerns/issues surrounding the virus, and if you have question(s) for the task force briefing later today, please feel free to message me directly, and I'll see if I can get to them. Thank you.

Everyone stay healthy out there.
