NYC Mayor: If Trump doesn't act, 'people will die who could have lived otherwise'

nbcnews.com/politics/meet-… via @nbcnews
"I have asked repeatedly for the military to be mobilized, for the Defense Production Act to be used to its fullest to get us things like ventilators, so people can live who would die otherwise,” De Blasio said on @NBCNews’s “Meet the Press.”

👉U.S. docs, nurses & hospitals sent a letter to Trump begging him to use the 1950 Defense Production Act.

(Trump has resisted, alternatively insisting he's already done it and that he'll only do it if absolutely necessary.)

Bottom line: He hasn't *activated* it.
U.S. co's are doing a great job *voluntarily* making masks, gloves, ventilators desperately needed & running in short supply, Trump says.

American Medical Association President told @NBCNews philanthropy is NOT GOING TO CUT IT. Production must sync with pandemic modeling.
Whose job is that?

Trump needs to actually *use* the DPA to compel manufacturers to produce the *right amount* of items needed for the nt'l defense.

This ensures 1) U.S. supply = hospital demand 2) manufacturers can proceed w confidence there will be a market for products.

U.S. docs, nurses & hospitals send letter to Trump:

"Immediately use the DPA to increase the domestic production of medical supplies and equipment that hospitals, health systems, physicians, nurses and all front line providers so desperately need. ...
American Hospital Association, the American Medical Association and the American Nurses Association

"have concerns that increasingly there are dwindling supplies of N95 respirators, isolation gowns, isolation masks, surgical masks, eye protection, intensive care unit equipment
and diagnostic testing supplies in areas that had the first community outbreaks and in many other areas of the country.

Even with an infusion of supplies from the strategic stockpile and other federal resources, there will not be enough medical supplies, including ventilators,

This graphic shows that the #Coronavirus did not start in a "market." Of the first 4 cases identified (Dec. 1-10, 2019), 3 were NOT exposed to the market and 1 was.

Unfortunately social panic has been stoked and set in. So it may be too late to make people stop and think.
Hat tip to ZeroHedge, citing GreatGameIndia.com, which mentioned Sen. Tom Cotton's statement citing Lancet's data.

CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
This is a roundup of what I found to be the most interesting & helpful sources on my journey into the void. #Coronavirus #Pandemic #Misinformation #CDC #CPP #WHO
This is for friends & family, but also to raise concern over media censorship & begin a discussion of what are best practices for both traditional & decentralized media outlets. This is a collection of sources to tell a larger story and spark interest.
Very few sources peer reviewed. Some behind paywalls. Some mainstream news. Some International News. Some in other languages (Use chrome). Some Harvard medical Journals. Some unverified. Some factually incorrect. Have some salt with your rice & beans.
