Trump told reporters at the briefing that he would give the names of American "friends" whom he claims got ventilators to New York. Then, he did not, and nobody followed up.

I want to know those names.
One of the most basic functions of the job: #NameNames.
As the briefing ends, a reporter says one of the names: billionaire Alibaba co-founder Jack Ma, whose foundation got a shout-out from Gov. Cuomo earlier today.

Also credited by Cuomo for the ventilators: the foundation of Alibaba's other co-founder and Nets owner Joe Tsai.

Curious as to how Trump touting chloroquines and resulting media coverage may incentivize certain research.

Per U.S. clinical trial database:

* 68 studies for hydroxychloroquine & Covid-19
* 10 studies for remdesivir & Covid-19
* 13 studies for convalescent plasma & Covid-19
Context:

The U.S. clinical trial database is the world's largest, run by the NIH and listing studies globally. These are not only U.S. studies.

68 is the number of hits for those search terms.

61 is the number specifically marked as hydroxychloroquine studies.
Most of the resulting studies are marked "new."

What factors might prompt more research into Covid-19 treatments in a certain direction?

Have you performed clinical research and have insights into this issue?

Let me know in the comments or DMs.

In response to a press inquiry, FDNY spokesman Frank Dwyer shares this info about daily ems call volume at "unprecedented highs" right now.

"Normally, we would avg around 4000 calls day," he notes, reporting a 50% increase in volume.

The @FDNY account shares call #-s daily.
More FDNY statistics about the average call volume and response time between March 2019 and March 2020.
FDNY shares detailed EMS incident data on NYC's Open Data portal, but for understandable reason, the last update was from before the first confirmed case of Covid-19 here.

Those in charge of updates are "heavily involved" in frontline ops, he notes.
