It was about you having a WTF attitude regarding being denied entry to a grocery because you aren't willing to even afford them a modicum of protection from your possible germs to me seems a bit selfish. No offense. And let me be clear. Didn’t argue or complain I just turned around and left. I drove to another store which also turned me away. Went to a third that met me in. And pretty much every employee was not wearing a mask. I thought that was strange.
Buffalo_Gal Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 FEMA is working on getting more high quality gowns (and money). Thanking America textile manufacturer. Mentioned Hanes and someone else that will be making 5M more gowns. Honeywell is making N95 masks in Rhode Island. They converted a factory in 5 weeks instead of 9 months. They will produce 20M masks per month. Thanking 3M for stepping up (after a skirmish in teh beginning). Making more masks. Mentioning the Ohio sterilizer company (again). American medical workers normally use 25M masks in a typical year. 1 1

So are they 1000% protected while at work No. But I think precautions are a wise path to at least TRY to remain covid-free. And they should take precautions to protect themselves if they work in public. Their employers should provide all employees with high quality N95 masks and test them before every shift to make sure they are fitted and working properly
Buffalo_Gal Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 Trump is pushing American manufacturing as being a good thing. (He's not wrong) Trump again talking about the China trade deal, and how unhappy he with China that this virus came out of China. 2

Buffalo_Gal Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 He's talking about supply chains. Why a supply chain? Make your products here! (United States) Bring the supply chains back to the United States... where they never should have left. The globalists are bad (paraphrased). He is on to WHO and WTO and the investigations. Pointing out the Democratic debate in Vegas on February 24th. (echoing his tweet earlier)
3rdnlng Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 The common mask that you see most people wearing or even the homemade ones that have a fairly high thread count will generally protect the people the mask wearer meets. It can provide some protection for the wearer. Remember the wearer can breath in but the mask limits the distance the wearer can project any droplets. So, wearing a mask helps a person to not spread the virus in case they have it. 2
Buffalo_Gal Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 COVID treatment acceleration program. To slash red tape and speed up development (treatments, immune therapies, antibody tests). Pence: naming large metro areas that are past their peak. NO is most stable of the large metro areas he mentioned. Watching: Chicago, Boston, Philly. Pence: report 55,028 military personal have been deployed (medical), he mentioned the amount of nation guard too, but I missed that number.
Buffalo_Gal Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 Pence: hosting a call with the governors of the states and territories, to review, criteria, etc before reopening. Change in mitigation strategies. Providing more details about all the testing labs available across the country (and their states).

I don’t know. If not they go to healthcare workers first. Then if there is not enough to fully outfit all stores they should be rationed and the number of people allowed in will be determined by the number of employees that are properly protected and the number of customers they can service. I know everyplace isn’t like SoCal but do we need a Ralph’s on every corner? There have not been a lot of people in the stores I have been in lately. And if they can’t service them we go to a delivery system. @Q-baby! Don’t you dare give me a thumbs up. You’re harshing my cred and making me reconsider my view. ? Edited April 19, 2020 by Chef Jim 1
Buffalo_Gal Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 Pence: they have the testing the states need to reopen for for phase 1 provided the states meet the other criteria 2
3rdnlng Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 Something that doesn't seem to have been recognized as a real strength of DJT throughout his presidency is his ability to cut through red tape. Buffalo_Gal mentioned the Honeywell plant in Rhode Island that was set up and started production in 5 weeks when 9 months would have been typical. That is phenomenal and there is no doubt in my mind that Trump, if not directly involved set the tone for this to happen. He's the Git Er Done President. 4 minutes ago, Chef Jim said: Great question.

Buffalo_Gal Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 CMS Seema Verma: Medicare put out $90B in accelerated medicare payments. Hospitals are reporting unused capacity, and laying off. Nursing home - payments + labs payments Nursing home transparency - requiring nursing homes to report to patients and families if they have COVID in the nursing home. They also need to report to the CDC. 1

Buffalo_Gal Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 WHY is Trump calling on that guy again? I'd let him sit there and never call on him again. 1
GG Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 6 hours ago, MILFHUNTER#518 said: You are correct in stating they use us up here as a cash cow, but they see dollar signs at the prospect of opening up some parts of upstate. They effectively have zero revenue coming into the state coffers right now. I know it's repeated often, but this is a myth. NYC plus the 5 counties surrounding it are the money machine for the state. Don't ignore CT & NJ commuters who also pay the full NYS tax. Granted, Cuomo can relax a lot of the business restrictions on upstate and Southern Tier to help their economies grow. But the fact remains, NYC metro contributes much more to the state fisc than it takes out.
