Announcement with specifics at noon pacific (3 eastern). They will be laying out details. They want to avoid a new wave, etc., etc. Gov. Newsom to announce plan to reopen West Coast states, lift California stay-at-home orders Governor Gavin Newsom on Tuesday will announce details on an agreement made with Oregon and Washington to reopen the economies of the Western States and lift stay-at-home orders. “In the coming weeks, the West Coast will flip the script on COVID-19 – with our states acting in close coordination and collaboration to ensure the virus can never spread wildly in our communities,” a joint statement from Governor Newsom, Oregon Governor Kate brown, and Washington Governor Jay Inslee. The statement added that each state is building its own state-specific plan, but all agreed to work together, put residents’ health first, and to use health outcomes and science to guide the decisions made. </snip>

That was what I saw. Same presser Cuomo said that schools needed to open in conjunction with businesses as schools provided a defacto day care.

Cuomo was talking about opening the schools the other day. Did he back off on that?

Trump meeting with recovered COVID-10 patients today. They are telling their stories, what worked for them (hydroxychloroquine), how they feel now. The Democratic State Rep from Michigan praised him to high heavens.

Badfinger Joe ?

Thanks, I thought I missed something important.

National Emergencies Act. Stafford Act. Presidential Emergency Actions Documents. Look them up... well, as far as you can. Apparently, some powers are classified. (Isn't that scary?) What the president has the ability to do, and what he eventually does may well be two different things. But, there is no question that these acts give him the final say when a disaster is national.

With everyone home, bored, and online, shouldn't Vox have more readers? Advertising is down (which means revenue is down) so maybe that is why they hope this is for only 3 months, they expect advertising to pick up soon? Vox plans to announce around 100 employee furloughs later this week, hoping to avoid layoffs, sources say </snip> Vox is discussing three-month furloughs for employees and is focusing on employees whose coverage areas have diminished during coronavirus quarantines, said the people. Temporary three-month employee pay cuts aimed at the company’s highest earners are also being discussed, the people said. Vox also wants to ensure health care is covered for furloughed employees, one of the people said. </snip>

I wonder if it was a behind the scenes negotiation on a VP that ended, and Obama either had a hand in that (doubtful), or Obama was told to endorse "now"?

All 50 states did not have a declared emergency. I believe (you can check the dates) that this happened 2 or 3 days ago. Wyoming was the last state. Boy, oh boy, "It's ok to not agree with everything the president does." you have absolutely no idea how wrong you are. Let's just say that I do not care for how this has been handled, and am in the "overblown" crowd. I have said before that I only hesitate in my stance because ¾ of the world has shut their borders. It makes me wonder what TPTB know that the general populous has not been told.

National emergencies act and there is now a declared disaster in all 50 states. I "think" (as I cannot know) that he "backtracked" so it would be congenial. Sorta like the national defense act. First he asked politely, then when some companies ignored the request, he brought it to bear.

Subtle.

Well, with Obama endorsing Biden, that's a wrap. There is no "savior," no floor fight, nuthin'.

I am not going to argue with you whether or not the law is unconstitutional. It exists. The President is the final say when it is invoked, for good or for ill. (The Supreme Court upheld it 5-4 in July of last year when it was used during the border dispute between the President and Congress.)

The press immediately went with "propaganda" and they seemed to love that it was a "political ad." The White House should produce one every few days just to keep them guessing when the next one will come out. Nice thread : And it continues. Well worth the few minutes.

No, no, no When this is over, and I won't get her in trouble (my son's fiancée works at a local hospital), I will share some info about what area hospitals (WNY) expected, and what actually came to be (clearly this is not over, so "what came to be" hasn't er, be-ed).

National emergency act. All states now have a disaster.

I was shocked at how cost prohibitive ObamaCare made certain products to be produced in the United States (like ventilators). I keep saying that I hope one piece of good to come out of this disaster is less regulations. {crosses fingers}

Pence went on to answer this, I posted his response somewhere in this thread. Also: National Emergncies Act US Coding And now, for the first time All 50 states have a disaster declaration.

Large? I am not certain of that. There are definitely Trump supporters, and people who do not support President Trump, who feel this has been overblown. As been said, the postmortem on this will be interesting.
