It's quaint to say that the virus doesn't recognize national boundaries, but the real impact across neighboring countries begs to differ. To me the best statistical explanation is this little chart, and it mirrors the spread fairly well. Do the histograph of infections in the green zone and a pattern certainly emerges. Expand Pueyo links to an article on temps and virus, which suggests there "may" be an impact. Looking at the data for Australia and Brazil, however, both are on exponential growth paths currently.

TPS Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 Should've added, the issue is we just don't know yet. Regarding his second article, he suggests extreme measures would take 2-3 weeks to get the R0 factor down. However, with fewer people infected, we could expect another burst late fall. That would give us the time to prepare though.

Today was the first time I sensed that he was equivocating to the point where at a later date he could blame the Feds for something going wrong. He loves to hear himself talk, especially in front of a camera. He sees this crisis as a possible stepping stone to POTUS. Oh, did I say he loves to hear himself talk? My understanding is that if he and Schumer are together and there is a camera around, Schumer is the one that ends of holding Cuomo's beer. Expand NYC is huge with lots of people. Might need a tons of ventilators. (not going into politics). Just makes sense going to need hell of lot more of them.
PetermansRedemption Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 Looks like any hope at a quick stimulus bill is crumbling currently. Schumer and Pelosi left the meeting.

Expand NEW YORK’S VENTILATOR RATIONING PLAN. “Cuomo could have purchased the additional 16,000 needed ventilators for $36,000 apiece or a total of $576 million in 2015. It’s a lot of money but less than the $750 million he threw away on a boondoggle ‘Buffalo Billion’ solar panel factory. When it comes to state budget priorities, spending half a percent of the budget on ventilators is a no brainer.” . 1 1 2

Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 Quote An additional $425 billion would be designated for loans and loan guarantees meant to rescue “eligible businesses, states or municipalities.” This part of the bill has attracted particular attention from Democrats, some of whom have alleged it would give the Treasury Department broad sway to direct funds to specific companies that have appealed to the White House. President Trump has already talked about how he wants to help the cruise industry and the hotel industry, but dozens of other industries have pleaded for assistance as well. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) called the bucket of money a “slush fund to boost favored companies and corporate executives - while they continue to pull down huge paychecks and fire their workers." Expand Total no go. Handing Trump this money would be enabling a crook to shake down businesses. Given Trump that power would be criminal. He cannot be trusted. He's already proved that.
