On now: Cuomo says New York in 30,000 ventilators short that they will need at the anticipated "apex" in 14 days. Makes the point that the Federal Government has still failed to exercise the Federal Defense Production Act and failed to release the stockpile of ventilators. He sounds furious.
Yes the federal government sent NY 400 ventilators and they need 30,000. I don't know why Trump is quoting all those numbers at his press conference, they are meaningless unless he addressed the need.

What Trump should have done 6 weeks ago, and what Trump should still do right now, is:
1) Implement a nationwide 3-week shelter in place order (this could be adjusted as numbers flatten)
2) Order military to build hospitals
3) Order factories to make PPE and ventilators
4) Stay quiet and let Fauci/experts manage response
Should have could have --- but one month ago Trump said: The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!
Approximately 20,000 to 40,000 New Yorkers are currently arriving in Florida daily as they flee from the epicenter of the most explosive coronavirus outbreak. However, if the elderly are the most vulnerable; and if isolating the most vulnerable population is the best course of action; and with the largest population of older residents living in Florida; then why are New Yorkers allowed to travel to Florida?
According to data released by Governor DeSantis: Monday saw 190 direct flights from the New York City area into various Florida airports. If 150-200 people average per flight, that’s 28,500 to 38,000 New York metropolitan area residents arriving in Florida today.
In an attempt to mitigate the inbound infection spread, today Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed an executive order requiring all arriving New York and New Jersey residents to be screened upon arrival and self-quarantine immediately after arriving in the state.
Not sure how policing compliance is possible.
That is the dumbest reaction by a governor next to OK. Flights going to Florida from NY are empty and like you say how do they enforce this order. They aren't going to search cars coming over the border and the virus is already spreading in Florida, this will end up everywhere.
Can someone who knows, please explain what the "hoax" is then? A lot of saying what it isn't supposed to be so I'd appreciate some clarity.
TIA
They are just semantic parsing in order to score "points".
Trump said that the media reaction to coronavirus was a hoax.
It wasn't.
The media was telling people the virus was serious. By calling the media reaction a hoax, Trump implies the virus is not serious.
It is.
Because people who have formed their identity around subservience to Trump cannot defend these words, they instead choose to quibble about semantic shorthand because it is an effective way to derail conversations that make dear leader look bad.
... as he sits in front of tons of masks and other hospital supplies that should be getting out to those health care workers and not being used for a photo op.
lol - Cuomo just said, "where are the masks, the PPEs....? " ...right behind you, Fredo.
