"Look, if one person dies, it’s a painful week. And we know that’s gonna unfortunately happen. This is a monster, we are fighting," Trump said."Signs are that our strategy is totally working. Every American has a role to play in winning this war, and we are going to be winning it. We are going to be winning it powerfully, and we will be prepared for the next one, should it happen, but hopefully it won't," Trump said.
"So we are very concerned about that. It is very sad. There is nothing we can do about it right now except to give them the best possible care to avoid complications," Fauci said.

While Navarro’s January memo made a case to block travel from China just days before Trump gave the order, Trump maintained Tuesday that he still hasn’t seen either memo. The act comes one day after leaked audio showed Modly suggesting the ousted commander of the USS Theodore Roosevelt, Capt. Brett Crozier, was “naive" and"stupid” in an address to the ship's crew. He apologized for the comments late Monday.
The president also nominated Jason Abend, a senior policy adviser at Customs and Border Protection, to be the permanent inspector general at the Defense Department.

The program is still having technical problems, on top of it become increasingly clear this week that the current fund will run out of money.
"I will work with Secretary Mnuchin and Leader Schumer and hope to approve further funding for the Paycheck Protection Program by unanimous consent or voice vote during the next scheduled Senate session on Thursday," McConnell said in a statement.
The president said he would ask Congress to"refill it immediately" if the $367 billion earmarked for the program ran out.Navarro issued dire internal warning of virus in January Navarro's warnings grew still more urgent in a second m in February, in which he estimated that as many as one to two million Americans could die and called for taking immediate supplemental appropriations measures.
Surgeon General Jerome Adams also said he had not seen the memorandums but acknowledged that the virus has"humbled many of us" in government. "I feel a lot more optimistic again because I'm seeing mitigation work," Adams said Tuesday morning, after earlier warning that this week would be a"Pearl Harbor" or"9/11 moment."
