27 February 2020 - to be chaired by head of the task force US VP Pence
Pence was dropped in it earlier at President Trump's news conference.
From yesterday:
- Only five US states have the capability to test for the coronavirus
- California, Illinois, Nebraska, Nevada and Tennessee if you are interested.
So, Pence is gonna have his work cut out for him. No one has any real idea how many cases there at large in the US. Plenty of doubts are being expressed at the veracity of the US data. Getting a handle on case numbers is a good starting point, and that will not be easy.
