HEY BOURBON ST & NYC PUB CRAWLERS:

👉Good odds many of you have grandparents.

And if that doesn't move you, in France 50% of those in critical are under 50 years of age.

Also, adding this correction from the Times blog, it's under half those under 60, not 50:

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.

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

⚠️@BilldeBlasio's decision to keep #NYC schools open is "incredibly foolish. The #coronavirus will spread like wildfire among the children. They get infected, and they can spread that virus easily to older people who are at a MUCH higher risk." ~me

nytimes.com/aponline/2020/…
It's extremely important that these kids have food security, and their working parents will need financial and other support, once the schools close. But keeping schools open in the face of this deadly #pandemic is truly foolish.

#coronavirus #COVID19
Kids from families without homes get assistance (in addition to meals) from schools and will need substantial support. I urge NYC to do the right thing, close the schools, and support these kids and their families.

And then there is a narrative that terror has no religion.

Statistics speak for themselves. Anyone denying them is merely deluding his/her self.

Islamic terror is a clear & present danger. It manifests sporadically while festers underneath the fabric of the society.
Need to take lessons from #France & @EmmanuelMacron over decisive steps to be taken to contain spread of rabid 'Islamist' & 'takfiri' ideology into India.
There needs to be a concentrated effort to indigenize the content taught.

At no point should a foreign law/idea/principle be allowed to take root that challenges the basic fundamentals of India social fabric. In short, Indianization of Islam to tailor fit for Indian society, needs to be undertaken which will allow secular, inclusive ideas to ..

There are so, so many reasons why this seems a deeply misguided initiative. Where shall we start.

2/ Resets don't work if you ignore the underlying deep differences in world view and strategic priorities between Russia and the West. Trying to patch up a fundamentally flawed relationship is no substitute for an honest conversation about what is wrong with it.
3/ In fact, they make things worse. Each time (and it happens routinely) that Russia is forgiven for its appalling behaviour, it encourages the Kremlin to believe that it will be forgiven for even worse excesses in the future. And why wouldn't they.

Who is this fascist and white supremacist and what has he accomplished over the past year other than go on a tour of Europe where he told fellow fascists not to be ashamed of being called “racist”? This normalizing of fascism and white supremacy is a disgrace.
And this is the same magazine that ran this headline. A gathering of war criminals was “the biggest resistance meeting yet.”
Steve Bannon speaking to #France's far-right National Front party: "Let them call you racist. Let them call you xenophobes... wear it as a badge of honor." He is a fascist & white supremacist: anyone sharing a stage with him is an enabler. And remember all the oxygen he gets e.g.
