It isn’t necessary to read https://nu.federati.net/url/266572 ... but if one can see the overall picture and not get bogged down in the detailed legalese, that will help even more.
For example, from my reading, I now see why it is up to each state’s governor to issue the stay home order, as I don’t see it being allowed for federal officials absent martial law (which NEITHER YOU NOR I WANT). When I see photos of NYC streets and FL beaches still crowded with people, I want to ask why their state and local governments are not fulfilling their legal responsibilities.
I do fault the Trump administration and federal officials in general for:
1: the testing shortage ... while CDC was working on fixing the US test (which tests for #SARS-CoV, #MERS-CoV, and #SARS-CoV-2), they should have started producing and distributing the WHO test. They were right to want a test that can catch all three #coronavirus types that are known to cause deadly epidemics, but we’re still trying to catch up because of the delay.
2: Tests should have been designed from the beginning for rapid production and local results ... mass testing in a nation of 330 million people means we need to get the tests into local agencies’ hands and send people door to door.
3: shortages of masks, gloves, and other PPE as well as shortages of medical equipment ... once we knew it was definitely coming here (Jan/Feb), the emergency order allows the Secretary of Commerce to order the factory conversions that are just starting to happen at the end of March and beginning of April.
4: public speeches that downplay the seriousness of #COVID-19; not everyone sees the internal communications that tell us how much they’re worried about the disease and the consequences of required public health measures, so I see many uninformed posts each day
5: there is apparently a strategic reserve of PPE and medical equipment ... so why haven’t we heard about opening it up and shipping needed supplies to Seattle and New York City? Why are my local hospitals depending on PPE donations from Rite Aid and Harbor Freight (both of which have very limited inventories)?

Whitfield If we have another round of discussion, I can bring it up, but honestly, I highly doubt corporate to go along with free support in the current business client unless it is a trial. We regularly add new applications, so it would be pretty easy.
Supposedly, there is an #openvpn blog coming out directly related to the #covid19 stuff. Would have thought it was out already, but it isn't: https://www.openlogic.com/blog

While I’m sure the numbers they’ve reported are “optimistic” and have been all along, it is difficult to hide that many deaths (12X the official numbers), the midst of the outbreak. Yes, even in the People’s Republic of 🇨🇳 China.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink Attachments

He said that he knows where the hospital in question is located.
Also, Mark said that someone working at his office (a man in his seventies) recently had pneumonia and had to leave the assignment. AFAIK, the man was not tested for #COVID-19. The staff is currently mostly working from their hotels, but they were not doing so at the time.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

Using these graphs this way is wrong. It will take weeks to tell when the curve started to flatten, because it takes some time before people begin to notice #COVID-19 symptoms severe enough to seek medical attention. Also, since AFAIK the US still has a shortage of test kits, the curve in the graph is probably bounded by the number of kits available, not by the number of people infected.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink Attachments
