Counterpoint: the ACTUAL ****ING WEBSITE FOR THE ACTUAL ***ING STRATEGIC NATIONAL ****ING STOCKPILE.

"When state, local, tribal, and territorial responders request federal assistance...the stockpile ensures the right medicines and supplies get to those who need them most"

He literally does not understand the most basic purpose and function of the systems he is talking about.

It would be absurdly humorous if the stakes were low. But the stakes could not be any higher.

Aaaaaand of course now they've changed the website. Absolutely Orwellian.

The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia

Hope some journalists are FOIA'ing the email chains behind all this.

As things keep getting worse, we'll be hearing a lot of folks saying “look forward not backward” and “don’t politicize this disaster”.

Lemme tell you - from a disaster management perspective - why that’s bunk. This weekend's blockbuster WaPo piece is a good place to start.
I read this piece Sunday morning over breakfast with a red pencil in hand, circling every missed opportunity, every point where better leadership and competent governance could have put us on a better course.

There was a lot of red.
What is so striking, reading through the piece, is that despite what @realDonaldTrump has repeatedly claimed, the current crisis was not unforeseen.

Numerous officials cited in the piece saw the potential risk. "The Richter scale hit 8" after the Wuhan lockdown began.

This says so, so much about why the federal response is struggling.

Trump is explicit that he takes a reactive approach to a crisis that exponentially punishes delay.

The only way to win is to get ahead of the virus. Reaction = failure.
Calibrating action based on case numbers or ER admissions *today* means you are actually reacting to what the virus was doing *2+ weeks ago*.

From time of exposure, most people start begin experiencing symptoms within 11 days, and it often takes another week to become severe.
And testing delays can add further time before a case gets officially counted. So taking action only once things get bad, as Trump is suggesting, means constantly running 2-3 weeks behind the virus.

What does this mean in terms of response timing?

This is absurd. The Minister of China's National Health Commission reported they were seeing this in late January. Wasn't airtight evidence at that stage, but credible enough to be concerning.
Link:
Slight nuance - more accurate to say it's been well established for quite a while that people can transmit the virus while pre-symptomatic. But functionally it's a similar risk - people transmitting before they (or anyone around them) realize they are sick. That's not new.

I’ve heard so many claims of "Democratic obstruction" since McConnell introduced a woefully inadequate & hyperpartisan bill on Sunday.

Want to know what we were fighting for? The following items were added since Sunday as Democrats negotiated this now bipartisan bill. (THREAD)
The bill now includes 4 months instead of 3 months of improved benefits and more widely-available unemployment insurance to help workers who lose their jobs in this economic downturn. Three days of negotiation = an additional month of benefits for those out of work.
We secured a $55 billion increase in funding for our health care system (totaling >$150bn). Schumer is calling this a Marshall Plan for Hospitals & he's not overstating the case. This money is going to help keep our hospitals afloat and equipped to save lives during this crisis.

After seeing multiple tweets about the @DeptDefence response to #AustraliaBurning, I feel it’s #education time on #YourADF and how it relates to the #constitutionalmonarchy #government in #Australia. #AustralianFires #auspol #miltwitter 1/6
Under the Australian #constitution, #emergency and #disaster preparation, management, and recovery is the responsibility of each individual state or territory #government. #AustralianFires #ausfires #auspol #miltwitter 2/6
If the situation deteriorates and the effected state cannot handle the response, they can request federal assistance under the Australian Government Disaster Response Plan (#COMDISPLAN). #ausfires #miltwitter More here: homeaffairs.gov.au/emergency/file… 3/6
