The two were elderly. Of course, this hits the elderly the hardest.

Sort of reminds me of the scary predictions from the media regarding Florida and all the other states that were “slow” or never enacted their stay-at-home orders. I am happy that it appears that they were wrong. Data and reasoning is winning over fear. Edited April 21, 2020 by Magox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Gal Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Trump up Hoping Senate will vote tomorrow (on paycheck protection program... I read elsewhere it is 4pm) Filling the strategic reserves. Filling 75 (m or b? I missed it) barrels, topped out. VP Pence spoke with Governors from all 50 states. They provided the NAZ + phone numbers for state labs with additional capacity. Beating up the Governor from Maryland. (yikes) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Gal Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Pritzker didn't understand his capacity. (Side note... I have a friend in Chicago who got a test today. She said it was done by the military, capped at 250 people per day, and she needs to wait 5-7 days for results. ) He took the press to task over their ventilator coverage. Ventilator Shortage That Wasn’t and How the Media Completely Blew the Trump Ventilator Story mentioned DOD guy speaking very quickly.

Buffalo_Gal Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 DOD guy has a slide up for what they built, needed beds, etc. The slide is great. This may be worth finding the clip. He's praising his Army Corp of Engineer guys, the mayors, governors, etc. Showing slides of what they built, and what the space started with and the final product. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Gal Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Trump asks him to give them a wall update. This man is in charge of building the wall in Mexico (I couldn't get his name). General: 4K contractors, 400 employees, and no pause in building the wall. Construction is going smoothly. 164 miles done as of today. Will be finished the start of next year. I love when the press asks one of these Generals questions. Even the most obnoxious "journalist" tones it down. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Gal Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) Trump held up a huge list of labs (pieces of equipment is 5000) where the governors can use labs. They can use federal labs too. Trump back on bringing the supply chains back. Built it here! 72 active therapy trials, 211 in the planning stages Includes therapies to attack the virus, hinder the virus, as well as the blood transfers Edited April 20, 2020 by Buffalo_Gal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Gal Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Admiral Giroir - expanding US suppliers of swab (want in 2 weeks a year's worth). The supplier was in Italy in the beginning of March. (!!) Small, medium, and large testing machines He's talking about the FDA. Find this clip, it really explains what has happened with the swabs.

Buffalo_Gal Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Brad Smith - working to increase supply of testing. Machine (we have a lot), collection supplies for the specimens, materials to be able to process the swab. Small machine are point of care. Large machines can do thousands. I'd find this guy's clip, too. There is no way I can do all his information justice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Gal Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) Pence: that memorandum of labs... he said we provided them a map of where they are. We have enough testing capacity for every state in America to go to phase 1 (if they qualify). Edited April 20, 2020 by Buffalo_Gal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Gal Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) Admiral Giroir There are 40M tests in the market. It is an end-to-end problem. If the machines were being utilized, they could do more tests if the states would use the machine capability. He explained who they are testing. Nursing homes, Indian health, etc. He explained about track and trace and asymptomatic. LOL The Governor of Maryland must be a treat. He's getting tests from South Korea, and the Admiral is "I don't know what he is doing." Mike Pence got in there and diplomatically said the Governor mentioned nothing on the call, he does not know when the order was placed, put up the capacity slide, and pointed out there is plenty of tests and capacity.

Gal, if you haven’t figured it out by now, the testing is a straw horse put up by the Left so they can say until everyone in America gets a daily test we aren’t making a move. The scientists have already explained that that’s not only impossible but also uselessly bad science. (PS: 70% of yesterday’s deaths were all in and around the NY metro area. We had a grand total of 28 deaths yesterday in California, the largest State in the Union.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, they are still rising. Sweden is no longer the darling of the NY Times crowd it once was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the number of ventilators that our local hospital is using now for their sickest patients is zero. They learned that in their recent experience, pressurized oxygen is more effective and easier to administer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
