Was allowed to wear them either. Maybe they chose on their own. I doubt it. Despite Company Protocols and a sign saying that everyone is required to wear a mask. And, also playing in the background, live and let die, that song. Terrific. Good morning and welcome to morning joe. It is wednesday, may 6th. Along with joe, willie and me we have White House Reporter for the Associated Press, Jonathan Lemire. And former white house adviser for health policy, professor and advice provost for the university of pennsylvania, dr. Ezekiel emmanuel. Hes an nbc news and msnbc medical contributor. And, joe, the u. S. Death toll from coronavirus is now topping 71,000 as President Trump continues his push to reopen the country. Nbc news has learned that over the coming weeks, the white house plans to wind down the Coronavirus Task force. A move that comes as the virus continues to spread rampantly in parts of the country. Because the president cant speak at the task force anymore without being heard.
Rocket and get rid of you for a while. Thank you very much. Good afternoon. Im chuck todd in we just heard from President Trump just before he left the White House South Lawn to go get on to air force one and head to michigan. Joining me is my coanchor, katy tur. Sort of he seemed a bit, i get, jovial for him today as he gets ready to go to michigan. This is an uncomfortable time to be going there. They have this flood issue with the dams that broke on top of obviously the virus. And its been a politically, shall we say, polarizing time in michigan as well, and the president s visit may contribute to that. Yeah. And there have been questions asked about whether its a good idea for him to go to a place that has been such a hot zone because of the crowds that he attracts.
