(CNN) On Tuesday, the Trump administration announced that it would wind down the White House coronavirus task force. Confirming this to CNN, a senior White House official said the task force "will be phased down around Memorial Day." This tweet is a huge relief to those of us who appreciate the benefit of having a task force in times of crisis. Winding down the task force would have entirely reinforced this message and left state leaders with even less top cover. It is entirely possible that the continuation of the task force will lead to new national guidelines for protective measures as the summer starts.
