CORONAVIRUS/MIKE PENCE: “President Trump wanted me to make it clear that our task force, this administration, and our President does not support another national lockdown [for coronavirus].
And we do not support closing schools. You’ll hear from Dr. Robert Redfield of the CDC that, actually, the CDC never recommended that we close schools at any point this year.”
