“Obama aides, in op-eds and essays ripping the Trump administration’s handling of the coronavirus, officially called COVID-19, have pointed to the Jan. 13, 2017, session as a key example of their effort to press the importance of pandemic preparedness to their successors.”
“Susan Rice...blasted Trump for comments such as ‘you can never really think that a pandemic like the coronavirus going to happen.’ She mentioned the 2017 session as one of many instances of the Obama administration’s efforts to help its successor be ready for such a challenge.”
Weird how this news is coming out now. But skepticism is unjustified. Got it.
Hmm. Lack of ventilators: politico.com/f/?id=00000170…

Burr doesn’t deserve benefit of the doubt. He gave it to no one during his committee’s long, fruitless investigation into Russian collusion:

At least 22,000 Americans died of the flu so far this season. CDC estimates as many as 55,000 dead:

There’s a good chance this becomes a mental health crisis before it’s a physical health crisis. Lots of lonely adults and children who depend on schools, restaurants, stores, for their only social interactions. Not to mention the legit economic stress this is causing.
It’s one thing to have your social life or vacation disrupted. And 2 weeks doesn’t sounds long. But it’s interminable for isolated kids and adults, especially devastating for the elderly. Hospital beds, we got. Enough people to help stem a potential mental health crisis? No.

School closures over are forcing officials to come up with plans to feed millions of students. Michelle Obama’s school lunch overhaul massively expanded the number of kids who receive “free” meals at school, even for families who can afford them: amgreatness.com/2020/03/16/cov…
Did you know that the Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act allows entire school districts rather than individual families to apply for free meals? Large school districts like NYC, Chicago provide breakfast, lunch and a snack to every student regardless of need paid by federal taxpayers.
“After abdicating responsibility for feeding children from parents and guardians to the state, including for families who don’t need the assistance, the Wuhan virus crisis is forcing schools to figure out how to keep the free meals flowing for at least the next few weeks.”

Oakland Mayor @LibbySchaaf says no one from the Grand Princess cruise ship will be released into the city or quarantined there. She, @GavinNewsom and other officials are addressing the situation at a press conference in Oakland now.
@LibbySchaaf @GavinNewsom Newsom says he can't say exactly when the ship will dock at the Port of Oakland. It's currently 10-12 miles offshore, or about 2.5 hours away, Newsom says.
Newsom says sites across California were considered, and Oakland was selected in part because of the Oakland Airport. Some foreign passengers, including from Canada, will be flown back to their home country, although they will not interact with the general public at the airport.

Delays, deceit, and disorganization: We've opened an investigation into the Trump administration's response to #coronavirus americanoversight.org/investigation/…
The Trump administration's coronavirus response appears to be focused on public relations instead of public health, with top government officials issuing conflicting or blatantly false statements about the epidemic. We're investigating. americanoversight.org/investigation/…
We've filed more than 100 public records requests to federal and state agencies investigating whether mismanagement in the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus has put lives at risk.

Allarme,consapevolezza,cautela,precauzioni.
Leggete cmq Matteo Bassetti,direttore Clinica Malattie infettive ospedale S.Martino di Genova,che premette:"Sia chiaro:la mia non è una sottovalutazione di quanto sta succedendo"
Ma?
"Faccio lezione agli studenti sulle polmoniti comunitarie, sesta causa di morte al mondo.Negli Usa ci sono 2-3 milioni di casi,500mila ospedalizzazioni,45mila morti.L'epidemiologia europea dice che abbiamo un'incidenza tra 1,1 e 4 casi ogni mille ab e il 20 % è ospedalizzato"
"È chiaro che bisogna contestualizzare ciò che stiamo vedendo. Io non sono preoccupato dal numero complessivo di positivi, ma dal fatto che un numero così alto sia arrivato in un periodo così breve. Il sistema sanitario può reggere un'onda lunga, ma non un'onda altissima"

This is INSANE and is a direct outflow of the Trump administration's choice to emphasize #Coronavirus containment rather than mitigation.

Here's how.
A month and a half ago, when Wuhan went up in viral flames, the administration had a choice: focus on keeping the disease out (containment); focus on preparing the US health system for its inevitable arrival (mitigation); or a balanced effort at both.
Any of these options comes with trade-offs.

As @JenniferNuzzo laid out clearly yesterday, there are a finite number of public health workers, and where the government opts to focus their attention is a major strategic choice.
