Watch Live: White House Holds Daily Virus Briefing After ‘Depression Era’ Unemployment Warning

The White House coronavirus task force will deliver Wednesday’s daily briefing at 11:30 am ET.

Last night, Steven Mnuchin reportedly tried to explain to a group of Republican Senators that if they didn’t vote for the administration’s massive $1 trillion+ stimulus package, then they would risk allowing the American economy to fall into a depression with unemployment rates as high as 20%, a level not seen in the US since the 1930s.

Alternatively, President Trump tweeted some potential good news this morning:

I will be having a news conference today to discuss very important news from the FDA concerning the Chinese Virus!

The question is – how many times will he call it the “Chinese Virus” during the presser (O/U is 3.5).
