Dr. Fauci says masks for all under 'very active consideration'
The federal government has been rolling out its response to the novel coronavirus crisis, trying to slow the spread and prop up the economy, amid a volatile stock market and record unemployment numbers.
Fauci told CNN this morning that the issue of facial coverings will be discussed at the task force meeting"today" but that the determination could only come"when we have enough" for health care workers. Hospitals across the country have sounded alarms in recent weeks that they lack the personal protective equipment like masks to treat COVID-19 patients.Asked Monday about the potential for all Americans to start wearing masks, President Trump said it’s something he and the task force could discuss for the short-term.
Pelosi, who last week instructed her committees to begin coming up with proposals for the next relief bill, said on Monday that it is likely the next bill won’t get a vote until mid to late April, as the House is not scheduled to return until at least April 20th, and she has ruled of the possibility of remote voting.

When President Trump was questioned about China and other countries engaging in disinformation campaigns on Fox News Channel’s"Fox and Friends" Monday, he said,"They do it, we do it."
