A la the great TP shortage. I'm still trying to wrap my head around that one.

You realize we are not manufacturing ventilators right now based on orders don’t you? We are already manufacturing them flat out as many as we can make irrespective of that. We’re not going “oh wait Cuomo - you want more? Oh okay we’ll make more.” Hoarding the market out of panic is understandable, but for the foreseeable future we’ll be supplying based on actual need and not projections. We’re not going to ship him 40,000 ventilators right now or next week...or anytime until their demand requires it.

Just look at Cuomo’s disposition - people are losing their ****!

No ****. I don't think anyone believes that. But you make a projection for how many you are going to need and work towards that. Again, being proactive.

We're making them as fast as we can. We're supply limited. It doesn't matter how loud he yells and screams, he's only going to get what he actually needs. Lets mark this conversation in our minds like so many others and see if he starts needing 40,000 ventilators in New York. People are fleeing New York like crazy. I know a few people who run AirBnbs and they are getting bombarded with requests for longer term rentals for people to escape and go somewhere more safe. I doubt he ever gets there, but we'll see. Either way, we're not sending him things he doesn't need when we're supply limited.

BTW, Cuomo's exact words were that he needs these ventilators in less than the next 2 weeks. He also in those same remarks demanded that we send the entire emergency stockpile of 20,000 to him immediately. That's hysterical unnecessary bull****. We should send them to the people that need them, when they need them.

And yet people in this country actually trust China and what comes out of it, either physical or information.

On a more realistic note Trump is looking at opening everything back up, especially in the Midwest. Life is good. #Merica

We aren't opening back up anytime soon and thankfully Trump doesn't really have any power to do anything here anyways.

Offering even a glimmer of hope for an improved situation and actually taking specific actions to make that hope, realistic or not, materialize are two entirely different things.

Here is Massie the Assie's justification.
So fine, then vote against it. But don't try during a national crisis when you're the only one opposing the deal to cause unnecessary problems for everyone else.
Furthermore, he's showing his economic ignorance. Printing a dollar doesn't add a new dollar to the debt. It also doesn't devalue the dollar by that ratio - especially when all countries are doing the same thing to fight the same battle. If we were the only one printing money right now, it might hurt the dollar, but we're not.

Here is an analysis of where a bunch of Milwaukees from just 1 particular beach from just 1 particular week then spread out across the country after their soiree.

I’m pretty much wide open for business. My sales are up in my job and my customers are all busy in the manufacturing world. On a sour note I’m having to get my Cheesecake Factory and Chili’s curbside to go. It’s a real pain in my butt, but I’m sacrificing for the elderly and immuno-compromised. Just doing my part, Wreck. #Merica

Cheesecake Factory and Chili's huh?
You may want to get tested for Coronavirus, one of the symptoms is lack of taste.

Some recent articles by the "experts"
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...claim-more-data-needed-to-know-mortality-rate
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...irus-death-projection-in-uk-remains-unchanged
Bottom line is that the estimates and opinions remain all over the map. Stanford states:
“A universal quarantine may not be worth the costs it imposes on the economy, community and individual mental and physical health,” the article concluded.
and more....
“On March 6, all 3,300 people of Vò were tested, and 90 were positive, a prevalence of 2.7%,” the professors said. “Applying that prevalence to the whole province (population 955,000), which had 198 reported cases, suggests there were actually 26,000 infections at that time. That’s more than 130-fold the number of actual reported cases. Since Italy’s case fatality rate of 8% is estimated using the confirmed cases, the real fatality rate could in fact be closer to 0.06%.”
From the UK studies:
Ferguson, who tested positive for the coronavirus, said Wednesday the coronavirus death toll is unlikely to exceed 20,000 and could be much lower if lockdown measures in the U.K. stay in place, noting that he is “reasonably confident” that the health system can handle the burden of treating coronavirus patients.
He had previously projected over 500,000 deaths and still believes that figure of NO measures were taken to combat the outbreak.
