Trump #COVID19 announcement: The European Union failed to take the same extreme measures in restricting travel from China and other hotspots

U.S. is suspending all travel from Europe to the US for next 30 days

Going into effect Friday at midnight
Trump: These restriction will not apply to the United Kingdom. #COVID19
Trump: We’re cutting massive amounts of red tape to make antiviral therapies available in record time. Will significantly reduce the impact and reach of the virus. #COVID19
Trump: For young, healthy people, “the risk is very, very low.” Highest risk is for elderly population with underlying health conditions. Elderly population must be very, very careful. Older Americans should avoid non-essential travel in crowded areas. #COVID19
Trump: Will soon be taking emergency action which is unprecedented to provide financial relief. Will be targeted for workers who are ill, quarantined or caring for others due to coronavirus. #COVID19
Trump: “This is not a financial crisis. This is just a temporary moment of time that we will overcome together as a nation and as a world.” Directing Small Business Authority to support businesses affected by #COVID19

Weill Cornell’s Dr Matt McCarthy: “At one of the busiest hospitals in the country, I don’t have (a test) at my fingertips. I still have to call the Dept of Health, make my case, plead to test people.” #COVID19
McCarthy: The message today we’re hearing from the administration is the risk is low. “That’s simply not true. There are going to be thousands of cases here. We’ve already moved from containment to mitigation. There’s going to be widespread disruption to daily life.” #COVID19
McCarthy on @SquawkCNBC: “Do not believe the false reassurance. I’m telling you, the cases are about to surge.” Going by data out of South Korea, suggests mortality rate 0.2-0.4%. @ScottGottliebMD notes Diamond Princess fatality rate appears >1%, noting older population #COVID19

🔥"#China’s errors–dating back to the very 1st patients–were compounded by political leaders who dragged their feet to inform the public of the risks and to take decisive control measures."

How It All Started: China’s Early #Coronavirus Missteps

#COVID19
wsj.com/articles/how-i…
"When doctors did finally establish the (wildlife market) link in late Dec, they quarantined (a patient) & others & raised the alarm to their superiors. *But they were prevented by Chinese authorities from alerting their peers, let alone the public*.

Just like 1918 Spanish Flu.
Even though we *just* saw the #CoronavirusOutbreak EXPLODE in #China in real-time, the Trump Administration *refused* to alert healthcare/public-health personnel or the public.

This has DELAYED our response, just like #China did.🤬

➡️ Read the thread 👇
Following the initial reports from China – and anticipating multiple agency aspects of U.S. government would need a unified command structure – on January 30th President Trump assembled a unified task force to coordinate all response efforts across the totality of government.
The task force is coordinated through the National Security Council. It is composed of subject matter experts from White House and several United States Government agencies, and it includes some of the Nation’s foremost experts on infectious diseases.

#BREAKING

#Lithuania #Vilnius

Last week #Lithuanian #parliament adopted the state #budget for 2020. The main #financial document of the #state was approved by the majority of voters.
It is sad to see how #Lithuania is #suffering without #money. Absolute #chaos – this is how they say in #Lithuania about the new budget.
So, state budget revenues are planned in the amount of 11.559 billion euros, expenses – 12.705 billion euros.
The budget deficit will amount 2.9% of the planned gross domestic product. In other words, the #Lithuanian #draft hardly met the requirements of #fiscal #discipline. The #budget #deficit for #EU member states should not exceed 3% of GDP.

#Europe Joins #US Companies Moving Out Of #China - Make no mistake about it, the trade war is absolutely remapping global supply chains … to the detriment of Chinese manufacturing. forbes.com/sites/kenrapoz…
The percentage of China-leaving businesses surveyed by quality control and supply chain auditor QIMA was 80% for American companies and 67% for those based in the European Union.
QIMA has more than just anecdotal evidence. Demand for their China-based audits dropped by 13% as mainland manufacturers are either losing their foreign clients faster due to costs associated with tariffs or are relocating manufacturing out of China to avoid those tariffs.
