WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump on Sunday called on Americans to cease hoarding groceries and other supplies, while one of the nations most senior public health officials called on the nation to act with more urgency to safeguard their health as the coronavirus outbreak continued to spread across the United States. Dr. Anthony Fauci says he would like to see aggressive measures such as a 14-day national shutdown.
Trump assured Americans, after speaking with leading grocery chain executives, that grocers would remain open and that the supply chain remained healthy. Speaking at the same White House news conference, Vice President Mike Pence urged Americans to only buy the groceries they need for the week ahead.
You dont have to buy so much, Trump said at a news conference. Take it easy. Just relax.
The comments from the president came after the governments top infectious disease expert said he would like to see aggressive measures such as a 14-day national shutdown that would require Americans to hunker down even more to help slow the spread of the coronavirus.
Still, Fauci said travel restrictions within the United States, such as to and from hard-hit Washington state and California, probably would not be needed anytime soon.

He was arrested for a DUI moments later.

And that face doesn't look like her any more. The eyes and cheekbones are different. I guess donald got tired of her looks and ordered surgery for her.
