US President Donald Trump held a press briefing every day after the spread of the new Coronavirus Infectious Disease (Corona 19), but CNN reported that it was almost absent from the White House Task Force (TF) meeting.

It is also pointed out that President Trump gave a remark that medical expertise, such as reviewing the injection of a disinfectant body during a briefing, triggered unnecessary controversy and reduced reliability.

According to CNN, President Trump attended the TF meeting once a week, usually held at 3 pm, before the press briefing at 5 pm.

It is said that he sometimes missed 10 days or more.

CNN quoted TF officials as saying that if President Trump attended, the meeting would be lengthy and frequently dismissed from the subject, while the case would be resolved quickly when TF Vice President Mike Pence is presided over.

When President Trump attends, the theme of the meeting is often focused on what his performance looks like in the media or polls.

CNN explains that the TF meeting is held in the situation room at the basement of the White House, which also aims to prevent the contents of the meeting from leaking by attending a small number of people.

It is also known that at the end of the meeting, a senior TF official will go to President Trump's office and brief the results.

President Trump's controversial remarks on sterilization on the 23rd also seem irrelevant.

On the 22nd, William Bryan, head of the Department of Homeland Security's science, reported to the TF that the virus is vulnerable to high temperature and high humidity and dies quickly when exposed to bleach and fungicides.

Some TF members proposed to release it in a press briefing, and the discussion was again held at the TF meeting at 3 pm on the 23rd the next day.

However, President Trump did not attend these two meetings, and Brian only briefly explained the findings to President Trump just before the briefing on the 23rd.

Soon after Brian's comment in the following press briefing, President Trump made a rush to review ultraviolet light exposure and disinfectant infusion, and faced heavy criticism that it was an inappropriate act that could put many at risk.

On the 24th, President Trump evolved to speak in a sarcastic manner toward the hostile media, but was not immediately accepted, and the TF briefing, held in the late afternoon, ended in 22 minutes without first contact with reporters.

CNN said some of the staff, including White House secretary for the White House, Mark Meadows and spokesman for Kaylee McCannney, expressed concern that Bryan's presentation was presented too quickly to the president without being thoroughly tested.

After this controversy, there are reports that President Trump plans to reduce the Corona 19 TF briefing in the future.

Internet media Axios quoted an official as saying that President Trump will not appear in the briefing room every day from next week and will appear for a short time even if he attends the briefing.

In addition, discussions on the reduction of attendance at the briefing took place before the controversy over the disinfection, but sources reported that the fact that the incident did not help the briefing became clear to President Trump.

Politico, a political media agency, said some of the staff began to urge President Trump to shorten the briefing time and leave the medical part to the medical professional.

One adviser told Politico that 30 minutes was the ideal time for the conference, including 10 minutes of President Trump's comments, 10 minutes of medical officials' comments, and 10 minutes of reporters and questions and answers.

So far, President Trump's briefing has generally been around an hour, sometimes over two hours.

A business insider in the US media reported the results of less than a third of respondents saying President Trump's interview was useful in a poll last month that briefings were held for nearly two hours.

Trump's public schedule is not scheduled for a press briefing on Saturday.

However, there was a case where Saturday's briefing was omitted in the past, so it seems to be seen whether the briefing gap will continue on this day.

Axios told a source that President Trump's decision to reduce the number of briefings was never final until final.
