Mike Pence confirms coronavirus task force winding down Vice President Mike PenceAP Photo/Alex Brandon WASHINGTON — Vice President Mike Pence has confirmed the White House coronavirus task force will begin winding down later this month.
Confirming a New York Times report published earlier in the day, Pence told reporters Tuesday that his goal was to start handing responsibility back to various government agencies by the May 25 Memorial Day weekend as the administration looks to reopen the country.
“I think we’re starting to look at the Memorial Day window, early June window as a time when we could begin to transition back to having our agencies begin to manage — begin to manage our national response in a more traditional manner,” Pence said.
The Times report said White House officials informed members of the task force that they plan to finish the operation in coming weeks and that there won’t necessarily be a group to replace their efforts.
But it appears the administration forgot to include Dr. Anthony Fauci in the discussions, with the group’s respected infectious disease expert telling CBS on Tuesday that he’d heard no such thing

Fauci is a loose cannon. They probably try not to talk to him.
Fauci is desperately trying to play CYA over his treasonous relationship to the CCP. He is a goner!
Once he’s no longer working under Trump, I expect him to cut bait and hit the networks/media rounds with stories of how bad Trump was.
Good..cant have this insanity forever..even though that is what the commie left wants..for us to be stuck in our homes forever..and if anyone thinks that the left actually cares about saving lives I got a bridge to sell ya..its ALL about power and control
Wouldn’t it be funny if down the road we find out that trump kept fauci and birx in his field knowing they have ties to the rats, obama and hillary. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Fire the Hillary-loving ChiCom sympathizer. He is a rancid leftover from the Obama Left.
The very first sign your days are numbered is when you are not kept in the loop.
Fauci is in a world of his own .... twilight zone phone calls or texts only.
Since the change is projected to START in 3 more weeks, it doesn’t really seem critical that Fauci be updated on the details of the plans just yet. IMHO.
As we’re now finding out, it was Fauxi who funded coronavirus research at the Wuhan Lab. Perhaps winding down the task Force is a way to get him out of the way.
Respected by who?
Fauci is going to milk his participation for all it’s worth.
It will be a resume enhancer for life.
He’s old so he won’t be going to work over it, unless you
consider being paid big money by CNN or some other org to
dis Trump for years is considered a job.
Don’t tell him, just fire the creep. Otherwise Trump is not going to be re-elected.
Trump needs to say “you’re fired” to Fauci and get the country going again.
Fauci has been working on infectious diseases and the like for 36 years. I doubt much changes for him.
I don’t feel comfortable with Trump or Pence in the same room with him.He should go hang out with the Clintons.
Yep. I wonder if he is smart enough to realize that.
He works in the NIH for Collins, the Director. He’ll still be working for Trump.
