Extraordinary presser re NYC/ NY state from @NYGovCuomo -

They have 7000 ventilators, need 30,000 more. Will split ventilators with 2 sets of tubes for two patients.

Asks Federal Govt to use defence powers to FORCE manufacturers to produce ventilators

pscp.tv/w/cUjIkzEwMTA5…
Cuomo making his case that NY needs the 20,000 federal stockpile of ventilators, using powerpoints and in front of masks stockpile to a socially distanced press conference...
And despite shutdowns, the rate of growth looks very concerning in NY:

NEW Thread on self employed:

Parity with Employees for self-employed earning below 50k in Jan tax return or averaged over previous three years. 80% of income up to £2,500 a month for three months.

Paid as one off grant in June

Taxable

Not for company owners paid in dividends
Told up to 3.8m of 5m will qualify... which puts a range of many billions up to £20bn plus...I can see how this might cost same or more as employed scheme

Self employed will get to carry on working, dont have to “self furlough”.

Will have to be declared on tax returns on Jan 22
Why June?

Government has chosen to prioritise the complex design of a scheme for employed workers first. This is because there is a public policy aim of keeping people on payrolls, ready for a rebound in economy when shutdown lifted...

Looks promising from Bosch... bosch-presse.de/pressportal/de…
And it involves N Ireland company @randoxbio technology too - looks like great news that a test could be done in 2.5 hours to WHO standards... opens up Korea style testing possibilities...
“newly developed test will be available in Germany starting in April, with other markets in Europe and elsewhere to follow” - so NI tech commercialised with German firm, and going to German health system first...

Interesting to know if also then part of massive EU procurement

NEW - As rescue packages rack up, tax base shrinks - deficit will spiral, poss over 10% at same time bond markets, banks, pension cos and insurers shift from Govt bonds into cash - so where is the cash going to come from?

Is it only the BoE?
BLOG:

Ex top Treasury official @rjdhughes floated idea in this v interesting report of central bank - (ie Bank of England) temporarily funding Government by buying bonds directly, using massive increase in Government overdraft at BoE - “ways & means account”

This would be a really quite significant move, the BoE Governor reiterating only last week: “we're not abandoning the very clear, Central Bank philosophy in terms of monetary financing because you know history tells us where that leads”.

New York is poised to certify touchscreen ballot marking devices that put voters’ selections into an unverifiable barcode & can’t be reliably audited. The vendor is ES&S, which has donated $30K to the GOP since 2013. Decision June 6! #BanBarcodeVoting 1/
