Fed Notes: 

President Trump at March 25 briefing

Finally, I want to provide a brief update on the critical supplies.  Through FEMA, the federal government has delivered, or is in the process of shipping 9.4 million N95 respirators — think of that: 9.4 million — 20 million surgical masks, and we have others that we think are going to be delivered pretty quickly.  The whole world — you know, it’s not just us; it’s not just the States.  The whole world is trying to get these things — in competition with many, many countries.

I believe today you broke the 150 mark for the virus.  We have 150 countries — over 150 countries where you have this virus.  And nobody would ever believe a thing like that’s possible.  Nobody could have ever seen something like this coming, but now we know, and we know it can happen and happen again.  And if it does, somebody is going to be very well prepared because of what we’ve learned and how we’ve done.  It’s been incredible, how we’ve done.

Remember this: More tests than anybody, by far.  And the news, the reporters, the media always likes to bring South Korea — they called me and they told me, “It’s amazing.  Your testing procedures are amazing.”  Plus, we have a test that’s a very high-level test, and it’s a test that’s very accurate.

3.1 million face shields, 2.6 million surgical gowns, 14.6 million gloves, and almost 6,000 ventilators, which go to the areas of greatest needs.  We sent, over the last day, 4,000 ventilators to New York.  And I spoke with the governor about that; he was happy.  I spoke with the mayor also about that.  Mayor de Blasio, he was very happy.  It’s hard not to be happy with the job we’re doing — that, I can tell you.
