Well get you a list. The oil meeting previously, the u. S. Linked to cut Domestic Oil Production . What came out of the meeting . A lot of things came out. Its a great industry, its a tremendous job producing industry. It is vital. It was also interesting because they all given the test before they came into the room. You have the head of all these guys taking tests and they all passed with flying colors. It was good. They left happy in that respect. Its an overabundance of oil right now. Oil and gas, tremendous overabundance. It was caused, they were producing a lot of energy but then you had the virus come along and it knocked another 35 , maybe 40 off the market. So if theres too much oil, and these are Great Companies and theyll figure it out. Well figure it out. You spoke to president puti putin they were having a competition from well see how it works out. I think its going to work out very well. Its going to take a long time to get rid of that, theres massive excess amount of oil and gas, massive. Like probably theres never been. What it does work out well, his drivers, i think in certain locations, its down to 90 n95 cents a gallon right now on the road but we have a tremendous industry, a great industry, tremendously important industry. We are energy independent, we have to make sure we keep it that way. The food and drug administrations, they are easing restrictions on certain donors, three months as opposed to 12 months. I didnt know anything about that. That was done by the fda, very capable people. Mr. President , the government of canada and 3m are questions pushing back on the bpa exports n95 respirators, 3m says they can push back if they want. Im not happy. The people thought that with it directly or not at all happy with 3m. I heard what he had to say today. I dont know the gentleman but we are not happy with 3m. Where is doctor county . I dont know, whenever hes not here, you say where is he . You see, is our problem . No problem whatsoever. Every time hes not here, sometimes ill ask him to come because thats the first questions you in a couple of others from the fake news establishment ask, where is doctor fauci . We are doing great together. We are covering a different subject today. You have said nobody could have seen this pandemic coming, secretary azar at a bio defense some 2019 said of course the people, the thing people ask what keeps you most about 90 in the bio defense world, pandemic flu, of course, i think everyone in this room probably shares that concern. Your own secretary was aware that this had potential of being a very big problem around the world, a pandemic of this nature. Who dropped the ball . I always knew pandemic are one of the worst things that could happen. Theres been nothing like this since probably 1917, that was the big one in europe, it started here and went to hear probably. Let me finish. Ive heard about this for a long time, pandemics. You dont want pandemic. I dont think he was talking about a specific pandemic, he is talking about the threat of a pandemic could happen and it could happen. Most people thought it wouldnt and most people didnt understand the severity of it, its very severe what happened, its very severe. I assume he was talking about the concept of a pandemic. Thank you. Fifteen years now this country has had a massive effort at the federal, state and local level, that largely has been about pandemic flu repaired and us, we knew about sars, mers which were earlier modifications or variance of the coronavirus, none of those achieved any think what we are seeing today but thats why more successive presidency including the President Trump, theres been a focus on pandemic preparedness. In fact, it was just november that the president signed the pandemic flu preparedness executive order have also updated the pandemic action plan which has been the playbook from which weve been working with the pandemic flu plan, again, the action plan for which we have been working that coordinates the whole of government in the economy approach here. Weve all been very focused on pandemic preparedness, its what we do but this particular strain of pandemic, who would have known this particular strength . If you are preparing for a pandemic or the government preparing, why is it that we dont have enough mass . Why dont we have enough medical equipment . The administration to give us little ammunition for the military, let me just tell you. You know if the answer. Previous administration, the shelves were empty. So what you should do is look to the people from the Previous Administration and ask them that question. The military shelves were also empty. We have no ammunition, literally. One of your favorite generals, we had no ammunition. We had very little medical supply also. Let me get back. I said well get you back. Please. You said there will be an exporting of all masks and gloves, are you if somebody ordered, if italy, if spain, these are country with tremendous from france, if they have longterm orders in there and they want to get certain things, i would let them go out in certain instances because its only fair. They have problems that are proportionately relatively bigger than our problems. They order something they are waiting for mass made here going to italy, im not going to be stopping stop. It would be very unfair. Speaking about fair and unfair, to cruise liners, i allowed them to dock today, we worked with the governor of florida and we worked on it and we had tremendous security and we took the sick people and we are working with them, we have doctors, great doctors, military doctors and from a human standpoint, these are two massive ships we have to take care of people. We have to take care. We sent it back to canada, the canadians came and worked closely with us as did the uk, a lot of people from the uk and we took care of the americans, we took care of the sick. We had some people very sick. I think we had three to four, maybe five people who died on the boat, one of the boat. We have to take care of these people so we couldnt let them float aimlessly into the ocean looking for port as theyve been doing for a long time. I made a decision, we had to take them in and Homeland Security and a lot of other people did a great job but we have to help people, these are people who are very sick. Some dying, some died. People in close proximity to you and the president will get the coronavirus, im wondering, are you concerned with the people you have been hanging around that might have the virus . No. Im not concerned. Those who meet with you or talk to you these are people from most of them have not had the test. Frankly, a little bit about a lot of things but they feel good about the tests. This was a test that took i guess 13 minutes to have it finalized, they took the test, i dont know. I didnt know if they were doing that. Maybe they did it just for them but it seems a lot of people, now we have tests that work we well, we have other tests being developed right now that are also fantastic. The original test, the ones we inherited, they were broken, they were not good tests. Thats what we got stuck with. This took 13 to 15 minutes and they were all fine. Finish your question. The problem people had what you can have in other countries, they are going to stop exporting as a result of that will be a net decrease in doctors have had that. We really are very well supplied, we are not the principal, at the hospital, the states, the cities, they are supposed to get everything they can and stock up in case Something Like this happens but nobody could ever have assumed Something Like this happened so we started supplying. We brought tremendous amounts to new york today and over the last few days, we brought them to louisiana, we brought them to michigan, to los angeles, a lot of equipment, he read the amount of mass we had, i think i said over 8 million last. The n95 mass, the more expensive and complicated, better, whatever masks, the ones they use in the hospitals. We have millions of them now and weve given them much we sent them to new york today, 200,000 of them but we have 8. 1 million and we will have more getting them from various sources rapidly getting because we have to replace them in case theres another emergency. Ground, too. We have many downs being delivered and have been delivered. Our people have done an incredible job, most people have said and i said this yesterday, governors have said thank you very much, great job if they are democrat government. In some cases, if i said heres 1000 ventilators, how many do you want . Heres 1000. You got them but we are going to add another 5000, is not good . They said wow, thats great. If he says, are you happy with the president . No, we should give 10000. Thats the standard political answer. Thats a shame because we have done a job like nobodys ever done a job but weve just delivered a lot of mass, a lot of gowns and protective gear but youre talking about a massive number but as of this morning, people are very happy. They ask you for a bailout . It was more of a discussion than asking. We discussed the concept because, as you know, this was a dispute among a couple of countries i think they want to be able to get it solved, they had a dispute, a competition but they want to get those. Russia and saudi arabia. I think they want resolved. I think theyre working very hard. They told me they want resolved. They are working very hard. Thank you. Yesterday the notion of the federal stockpile is supposed to be our stockpile. Its not the state stockpiles that they use, what did he mean by hours . Given the fact taxpayers i got you. You know what that means . United states of america. Thats what it means. It means hour. The United States of america and we take that and we distribute it to the states. Its not supposed to be state stockpiles. We need for the government and the federal government are. Its not to the state. To keep for our country because the federal government, too, not just the states. Out of that, we oftentimes choose, as an example, we have almost 10000 ventilators and we are ready to rock with us ventilators. We are going to bring it to various areas of the country who need them. When he says hour, hes talking about our country. Excuse me. Hes talking about the federal government. It such a basic and simple question and you make it sound so bad. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Its a simple question, he said hour. That means for the country. It means for the states because the states are part of the country. Dont make it sound bad. Dont make it sound bad. Go ahead, steve. You just ask your question in a nasty tone. Lets go. Ill give you a perfect answer. A followup on that, when we have the federal stockpile is designed to distribute is also needed for the federal government. We have a federal stockpile and they have state stockpiles. Frankly, many states were totally unprepared for this so we had to go into the federal stockpile but we are not an ordering clerk. They have to help for themselves. Some states are in good shape. Some were not. Thats probably something you could expect. Weve been helping states. Weve been spending a tremendous amount of time and effort and billions of dollars on making sure they have what they have. Take new york, we built a hospital, i bought them for hospitals. A medical center, sent in a ship with 1000 rooms and 12 operating rooms. Then on top of that, gave vast numbers of ventilators and surgical gowns and equipment and mass and everything else. They had a chance to order ventilators over the years. They had a chance to order but they didnt choose to do it. We were there and we helped them. I think the governor of new york is thankful for the help we gave but we have a stockpile, a federal stockpile. We can use that for states or ourselves. We do use it for the federal government. We have a very thick federal government. Essentially a trap for all essential we are not traffic cop, we are humanitarian. Its like the ships. You think we wanted to take two chips into our country that have obvious problems, and you know if the problems im talking about . I have a decision to take i take them in or do i save lives . I take them in or save them . I decided to take them in. We have tremendous protection, great doctors there to help the people. They had four or five people who died. I was as of last night. They died on the ships. We took care of it. Now the people are in the process of and many are already back in canada from the uk american citizens. Something was very sick, we are taking care of the sick people, we are testing all of the others very carefully. Very carefully. They are being tested like you wouldnt believe. We saw the humanitarian catastrophe. Nobody else would take the ships, nobody else would take them so we docked in fort lauderdale. The federal government and theres a shortage we do say that. We do say that and we use the act. Weve used it a number of times very powerfully. A lot of times we dont have to because we say we are going to if you dont do this or that. We also have companies that act really well. We have plenty. Mostly them but weve used them very powerfully. A lot of times, you dont have to exercise that act, if you dont do this, we are going to use the act. Weve done a good job of it, maybe a great job. The reports that you want to sign, is not right . Theres millions of them, no. Its a Trump Administration initiative but do i want to sign . The people are getting their money, theres a lot of stimulus going in a lot of different ways a lot going for companies if it werent for government and some companies are very strong. We had the strongest economy in the world. We have our best ever. Probably the best economy in the history of the world, bigger than china, bigger than anybody. One day we have to stay close it up, stop. Everybody go on. They might not go up for another four months. Small business today, we are way ahead of schedule. There is a problem, which i pointed out, i said you shouldnt do it this way. With unemployment. We are sending the money to the states, once the money is sent to the states, whether they are republican or democrat have to get the money up to the people. Hopefully they will be able to do it but many of those states have 40yearold computers. I wanted to give the money direct and thats what youre talking about. It would have been much easier but the democrats and some people said no, lets do it the complicated way. Stimulus check thank you, id like to ask a question for myself and other reporters in the room, social distancing. First of all, it is for your self and doctor burke, what percentage of the population we expect, is there a way to figure that out . While we are working diligently in the midst of the crisis to make sure healthcare workers in everyone whos sick thats provided for, at the same time, we are working on tests that will be critical for surveillance. At the same time, working on plans for what we need to do as this smoothed through the population and we get on the ground inside, which we are not there yet and hopefully most of the state will say like california and washington, and then what we need to do to be prepared for fall. All three of those things are happening simultaneously. , theres people working on each one of us. The antibody piece is critical because at this time, if we have lets say a symptom. Status is inversely related to age so the younger you are, the more likely you are to be a symptom. , we have to know that because we have to know how many people have actually become infected. When we talked about five days ago, i think on monday, called on universities to work on test to test their Health Workers and get through that. At the same time, the private sector is working on tests. What we want the test to be . Martha test to be like what we use for hiv and malaria. Anger parks, onto a cassette, you get a line, if youre positive and you get a control on. Negative the line isnt there. As our dream because its a finger prick. In the meantime, we are not waiting, we are pushing for that but at the same time we are asking to develop blood. We are talking about, could we use those . We put a call directly after the military because of the roosevelt. We should test all of the sailors on the roosevelt with an Antibody Test to get to this critical issue of a symptomatically and already preexisting antibodies. That would be, if the First Responders knew they had it and they had protective antibodies, if the nurses and doctors knew, if your schoolteacher knew, its a very different dialogue. We understand the importance of that and how important it is in relationship to understanding this epidemic. One other comment, i know we are always saying who knew what and when, i want to make clear theres 150 plus countries working on this collectively together. It is devastating for every country. When we get through this, we can go back and look at what happened where and what this epidemic looks like and when you get through it, then you can validate every model there is known to man. When you are in the middle of it, you have to concentrate on serving the needs of each american and what that need looks like. At the same time, you have other work streams on surveillance and how to be prepared both scientifically and therapeutically as far as vaccines for the next fall if it happens again. I think these things are happening together but i want to concentrate on the fact that all around the globe, country after country is dealing with this. We can talk about why didnt italy do something or spain do something or germany . Or we can say right now, we all can do something. We can do the social distancing in all of the pieces that we know is starting to work around the globe in country after country. And when we get through all of this, we can ask the questions about could we have done some piece of this better is a Global Community . I will reminder every third, the head of the who said there was no way we would ever do a travel ban. It wasnt until january 14 that we knew there was human to human transmission. The president was saying this was going to go all right. Its april. He said it was going to go away in april. I said its going away and it is. No more. Thats a very good answer, that was enough. On the insurance and treatment, your government making sure people are covered, does not include people in this country who are here illegally . Are they covered as well . We are talking about that at a different time. Mr. President , will you release, authorize the release of the underlying data for the conclusion of the 100,000, 240,000 people coming, doctor burke action these experts have expressed concern that they havent seen the underlying data. Go ahead. Secretary cesar, people have lost their jobs, how is the stimulus money affecting numbers of uninsured . For an individual who had employer insurance, if you were employed and had insurance through your employer and you have lost your job and that insurance, you know you have a special enro
