Dr. Debbie Birx, coordinator of coronavirus task force, says the decision to extend the social distancing guidelines until April 30 was not made lightly. “We know it’s a huge sacrifice for everyone,” she says. The government will issue more detailed guidance on Tuesday. — PolitiTweet.org

Dr. Tony Fauci says President Trump’s decision to listen to him, and extend social distancing guidelines until April 30, was “wise and prudent.” — PolitiTweet.org

Bowing to the public health experts, Trump has relented and retreated from his idea for people to fill churches on Easter. "Nothing would be worse than declaring victory before the victory is won," he says. Trump says he thinks we'll be well on our way to recovery "by June 1." — PolitiTweet.org

Trump, who didn't invite any Democrats to the signing ceremony for the $2 trillion stimulus bill, is now attacking "our opponents" for provisions they wanted to put in the bill. — PolitiTweet.org

This sounds like gaslighting. “Many of the states are stocked up," President Trump insists in the Rose Garden. "Some of them don’t admit it. But we have sent just so many things to them, including ventilators.” — PolitiTweet.org

It's open mic night in the Rose Garden. "Anybody else?" asks Trump, inviting CEOs to come talk. — PolitiTweet.org

It would be the equivalent of Trump saying: In our present crisis, government is the solution to our problems. — PolitiTweet.org

Sad news not related to the coronavirus: The National Zoo has euthanized Ambika, the elephant. She was 72 years old and has lived in DC for 59 years. Generations of kids here grew up with her. Her keepers called her “The Queen.” They gave her bok choy as her final meal. 🐘 — PolitiTweet.org

Our economy wasn’t as fundamentally sound going into this crisis as many thought. A quarter of America’s biggest companies had more cash going out than coming in. Stock prices had become increasingly decoupled from underlying value. All of this makes the shock harder. — PolitiTweet.org
