Way to deflect from facts. I explained clearly why hundreds of thousands of sets of PPE were required. That facts have nothing to do with either Trump or Cuomo. In a contagion event, hospitals go through tens of thousands of sets of PPE a day. In the absence of needed equipment, they have medical personnel falling ill. We desperately need those people to be at work dealing with the epidemic. Thus, we need hundreds of thousands of masks, gowns and gloves.
The proper response to a request for PPE is "YES!"
You went off on some BS conspiracy theory pushed by the media, that is not based in fact of any kind. This is an example of how malignant US politics has become, but facts should be more compelling than posturing. The only questions that need answering are:
1. Where is the PPE?
2. How fast can you get it to hospitals and first responders that need them?
3. How fast can we make more?
You have likely never heard of the person who can answer those questions. Don't be asking some politician.
You are right, they are supposed to change masks and gowns each person they see ideally. In this case the patients are asked to change masks every five patients if not hold onto them for an entire day or even week and the gowns are by the shift. Yet the hospitals are being blamed for a shortage and that doctors and nurses are hoarding them? I just don't get it...
So that is 0.0004437238% of the population. And the mortality rate is even lower than that.
Social distancing is not to keep you from catching it, it's to keep everyone from catching it at once. As long as hospitals can handle the load, the mortality rate is only about 1%. If the hospitals can't treat all the patients, the mortality rate jumps.
There is nothing to stop the disease. Almost all of us are going to eventually get it. If only a third of the US catches it, that's a million dead. If the hospitals get overwhelmed, it could be 2 million dead.
Greenland has done today what I already suggested a week ago. They introduced a ban on alcohol in the capital metro area in order to keep domestic violence down.
More evidence that we are a society of clowns: Pot stores remain open and pot sales are through the roof.

I read about a woman who killed her 9 year old son and husband yesterday. Domestic tensions will be high.

You don't know what you're talking about. You heard some "EXPERT" say that "we are all going to get it" and you thought it sounded good . But you have no idea, and neither do they.
Woman Who Ingested Fish Tank Cleaner Is Prolific Donor to Democratic Causes
The Arizona woman who said that she and her 68-year-old husband ingested a substance used to clean fish tanks after hearing President Donald Trump tout chloroquine as a cure for the coronavirus has given thousands of dollars to Democratic groups and candidates over the last two years.

That's not an available response if there isn't that much available to give. Sometimes you just have to face the fact that normal procedures and protocols cannot be maintained at a pandemic level.
this is great because (like all antibody-based methods) it's so simple and fast, and can detect recovered exposures.
the drawback (again, like all antibody-based methods) is that it's less sensitive.
True, & it can be used to 'triage' for further more sensitive testing when indicated. & the more people tested the better. They're ramping up production to get it out there.
