Trump won’t require firms to help fight coronavirus —
after corporations lobbied Jared Kushner
Trump signed the Defense Production Act,
Trump falsely compared the law to nationalizing businesses
the law provides loan guarantees and protections for companies that cooperate.
It would prevent what New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has described as a “mad bidding war” between states to secure critical equipment like masks and ventilators and
allow the federal government to better control the distribution of this equipment to states that need it most.
Kushner “has thrown out the established government plan for dealing with pandemics, after concluding it was insufficient.”
Kushner and other aides pushed for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
to take over for the Department of Health and Human Services in overseeing the response effort.

FEMA overseeing an operation it is not equipped to handle and
companies confused over how to proceed,
FEMA “likely won’t know a thing about medical supply chains and devices,”
companies that have offered to help may take months to set up the necessary manufacturing equipment to produce what the government needs.
Without the Defense Authorization Act, industry executives say that
companies “are reluctant to crank up production lines without purchasing guarantees from the government,” which the law would provide.
“three to five months to obtain and install the necessary equipment and begin production” on items like the N95 masks.
GM and Ford declined to say how quickly they would be able to start production while Ford added that it was still assessing whether it is able to produce ventilators.
“If the president doesn’t act, people will die who could have lived otherwise — senior citizens,
Trump’s refusal to invoke the law has led to bidding wars between states for vital equipment,

Act now!*
*if it makes Trump look good, otherwise it.
boom
I expect Trash to order this Exec to prioritize red states, and starve blue states.
You would.
The more stagnant the death count the more political Cuomo acts.
Thank heavens.
You'll need millions of masks and gloves and proper adherence to sanitation guidelines for those factories to work but it is possible.
We're so capable as a society of rising up to the task we seem to lack the proper leadership, however.
The guy isn't very good at math.
Well, Obama proved it out during his tenure when he sent over 12.5k Americans to their death & kept all the doors wide open.
Now he'll call the old man like nothing happened. & the old man? He'll act like nothing happened.
2 trillion is on the way.

This is probably already an out-dated term but what's the data look like for how "Far behind" Texas urban areas are from NYC and Italy?
Felt like a week ago people were saying we were 2 weeks behind places like Seattle. could have been BS
Doctors can already make that call, and will request a waiver from you, letting you know you're a guinea pig. There's no point in spreading false hope when we still don't know if any of these drugs are anything beyond 'promising'.
Hopefully the trial meets its endpoints.

your disappointment is noted
time will tell,
exponential infection rates.
Detected infections are supposedly 1/10 or 1/5 of total infections.
And how widely available in Texas are test kits?
how many tested positive vs how many total tests?
Thanks
Stocked up (literally) my position in GILD. Come on remdesivir.
Why did Gilead get a monopoly? The USG doesn't hand out many of those.
