Trump 'flexible' with coronavirus timeline, Fauci says
Coronavirus task force member Dr. Anthony Fauci said on "The Ingraham Angle" on Tuesday that President Trump's Easter timeline to reboot the economy was "aspirational," adding that the president and his team were on the same page and that everyone understands a timeline for the coronavirus outbreak needs to be "flexible."
"The president clearly listens. I mean, he has this aspirational goal of hoping that we might be able to do it by a certain date. We talked to him about that. We say we need to be flexible. He realizes that and he accepts that," Fauci told host Laura Ingraham. "I mean, he doesn't want to give up his aspirational goal, but he's flexible enough to say, 'OK, let's look at it on a day by day basis,' we say, and we will give him data to inform that decision."
