not making a political statement here, but its funny how this guys is like teflon... he has made a lot of statements that in hindsight have proven to be inaccurate. he is our leading expert and has been proven wrong by this thing as much as he's been right. its no wonder the country is turned on itself when even the experts are wrong more than a weather man. what are we all to believe?

Investigators stumbled onto the scheme while looking into whether they could intercept the masks for the Federal Emergency Management Agency under the Defense Production Act, the U.S. attorney’s office said Friday.
The federal government has been quietly seizing supplies across the country as the outbreak spreads. But in this case, there was no warehouse, and there were no masks to seize, the Los Angeles Times reported.
So let me get this straight... states are supposed to take care of themselves and when they try to order masks the federal government has been quietly seizing them.
No, they’ve been seizing hoarded supplies, not commercial supplies headed to states. They do pay for them them even though they’ve been hoarded.
Secondly, at no time have the states been told to “take care of themselves”. The closest thing to that is when Trump said it would likely be faster for them if they tried to buy direct themselves. He was saying that could avoid the red tape and time it takes to get it through the feds. This was then purposely misstated by the media to imply he was saying they were on their own.

Well I believe the treating of the whole country like NYC is silly. Common sense says certain areas based on population and location can open up just fine and others will be in smaller increments. Funny how Sweden and others were able to not have issues just using good practices in public without shutting down.
He's probably right on this... The amount of testing available will be a critical factor as to how much and how quickly we reopen.
I think we can do 40,000 a mos now as a country, but we'll need to be able to do 40,000 a week. I'm not sure where I heard or read that so dont bank it.
Pretty simple that you've got to test, trace and isolate. Tracing and isolating aint happening without testing.

I think they recognize that and we'll see differences depending on demography. At least I hope so.
What they do in Jimmys part of the world in South Dakota (which never issued a SAH order) will look vastly different than NYS or even MN.
This also quickly leads into a discussion of Governors vs Feds and who has the final say on how and when.
Even big states governed by Cuomo and Newsome may do things radically different from each other.

I think thats what we'll see as they try to get the economy going. What they can do in Jimmys part of the world in South Dakota will look vastly different than NYS or even MN.

Cuomo and Newsome may do things radically different from each other.
Again MN is vastly different in itself, I realize all the matters is the twin cities but everywhere else is pretty wide open. Where I live there is more in common with ND than MN. But then Northern MN to our governor is st cloud.

totally different society than the selfish society we have, IMO that allowed for them to handle it differently than what was a best approach for the US. Also I would guess that underlying health issues are greater here in the US than in Sweden so they were less likely to really get hit as hard as we will. its really hard to compare apples to apples on this thing when they dont even understand the ramification of the variable from a health or society aspect yet.
time will tell, i dont think there is a model response yet from any affected area.
