Bill de Blasio complains that he has gotten no federal help

So why hasn't the Federal Government responded? Or have they?

So to date the Federal Governments has done the following:

  • FEMA has built four seperate (two hundred and fifty bed) units at the Javits Convention Center. A thousand beds in total. 
  • The Army Corp of Engineers has also constructed an additional thousand bed unit at Javits. 
  • The Federal Government will provide all supplies and hundreds of staffers for these units, all equipped to deal with Covid-19 patients.
  • The USS Comfort is off the coast and provides over a thousand medical staffers and thousand hospital beds for non-Covid-19 patients. 

That's over a thousand Federal medical personnel manning three thousand beds.  Two thousand of which can be used to handle the Covid-19 cases, while a thousand can be used to treat other patients in order to free up resources and room in the New York hospital system. 

But according to the Mayor. Trump and the Feds have offered him no help.

This is rich --- Trump lost confidence on the Inspector General who obeyed the law, and held firm to his oath of office - why did Trump lose confidence on him? Because the man did his job and turned over the complaint after his review and after he sent it to others, who then took the complaint to the White House and they were then referred to the DOJ where Trump's personal defense attorney who sometimes doubles as the nation's Attorney General, who of course, found that there was nothing to investigate and nothing that Congress should be made aware of --- the complaint was that Trump was attempting to coerce the President of Ukraine by holding back funds his country needed to defend themselves from Russia's military invasion unless the President announced his country was launching an investigation on corruption by Joe Biden. So of course, Trump lost confidence -- he is afraid the man might find another crime he is committing or will commit as that is Trump to the core

Honest, decent, truthful Rev. said...

Mayor de Blasio:

Our city and all cities need the federal government to enlist all doctors and health workers, and mobilize them in a way we’ve never seen.

There is no historical comparison for what our country is going through.

Medically? We’re rivaling the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic.
Economically? We’re seeing unemployment that could look like the Great Depression.

Critical supplies? We need to produce more, faster, than any time since World War II.

Every domino is falling at once. And they’re falling hardest here in New York City.

On Friday we hit a painful milestone, surpassing 50,000 confirmed cases of the coronavirus. We’ve lost 1,562 New Yorkers. One of every four cases in the United States is a New York City resident.

There is only one way to get New York City and every city the medical personnel we need: The federal government should enlist every available private doctor, nurse and essential health care worker to fight in this war.

It would be a remarkable step. But these are remarkable times.

We’re already trying unimaginable things. We started this crisis with a little under 20,000 hospital beds — and want to quadruple that by the end of April. We’re gathering ventilators and equipment from every possible source, and I’ve called on President Trump to use the Defense Production Act to its fullest extent.

Our capacity and supply goals will be hard enough to reach. But even if we do, New York City won’t come close to having enough doctors and nurses to treat all of our patients.

And I’ll be blunt — if the nation’s largest city doesn’t have the help we need, other cities won’t, either.

Our city and all cities need the federal government to enlist all doctors and health workers, and mobilize them in a way we’ve never seen. Here’s how it would work.

We have about a million doctors and 3.8 million nurses in the United States. So many are already working on the front lines of this crisis. But there are many who aren’t — private surgeons, podiatrists, dermatologists, retired doctors and nurses who are willing and able to come back. There are obvious exceptions — those who are vulnerable to the coronavirus because of age or a pre-existing condition.

But we could have so many more heroes on the front lines right now, fighting invaluably. Our federal government should call on them to do so.

Honest, decent, truthful Rev. said...

We need our military to do what it does best: mobilize the troops. Think about our traditional disaster relief efforts, those that focus on a single area after a hurricane or flood. This is fundamentally different.

We’re going to have multiple cities and states in crisis at the same time. We need our military to organize the supplies and personnel each location needs. When cases surge in a different city the following week? The military can move them as needed — a traveling band of heroes who will save lives from New York to Alabama to California.


Here is the difficult truth: We’ll lose more New Yorkers. We’ll lose more Americans. But the question is: How many of those in danger can we save?

There is only one way to save as many lives as we possibly can. It is by getting every doctor, nurse and health care worker involved in this fight — and moving them, with precision, to the right place at the right time.

It cannot be done perfectly. But it can be done well.

So many of us grew up hearing stories from our parents and grandparents about America in its toughest moments. It is hard to believe our generation would face a challenge on the same scale. But that’s exactly where we are. The next days and weeks will decide how we’ll be remembered. Will we be heroes, like the Greatest Generation? Or will our legacy be a generation that could have done more, saved more lives — if only we had found a way?

There is only one way forward. We don’t have a day to waste.

So are saying that the 1000 medical personnel aboard the USS Comfort are not military? Are you saying that the Army Corp of Engineers (under the department of defense) are not help?


The fact is that FEMA, USACE and these medical ships have been successfully engaging in medical help in disasters and disease outbreak as a matter of fact. The people working this are trained to do this and have done so repeatedly for years....

If New York cannot figure out how to engage these workers or want to parse semantics over military or whatever... then that is on New York. Between Cuomo and de Blasio there is more incompetence than you would find in the average lock down ward at a nursing home...

People are dying and they seem to have no clue as to how to do anything but complain and point fingers.

Leadership is not complaining. It's about taking accountability and responsibility for what you are accountable and responsible for. Cuomo is responsible for his State and de Blasio is responsible for his city.

Anyone could complain. Pretty easy to do.

Although the ability to whine and moan while people die seems to be a favored trait right now in the Democratic ranks.

Flattening the curve on coronavirus: What California and Washington can teach the world
Yahoo News
Apr 4th 2020 11:21AM

LOS ANGELES — On Friday Dr. Deborah Birx, the U.S. coronavirus response coordinator, praised California and Washington state for their social distancing efforts, claiming that they may have already slowed the spread of the virus and should serve as models for the rest of the nation.

“We really do appreciate the work of the citizens of California and Washington state, because we do see that their curve is different,” Birx said at the daily White House briefing. “Their curve is different from New York, New Jersey and Connecticut — and we really believe that the work that every citizen is doing in those states is making a difference.”


Nationally, the numbers have been devastating. More than 273,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases across the United States, with a staggering 100,000 in New York alone. A death toll — roughly 7,000 at last count — that has already doubled 9/11’s. And grim new estimates from the Trump administration that predict the deadly pathogen could eventually kill between 100,000 and 240,000 Americans — assuming the U.S. does everything right.

Yet in recent days, a few bright spots have started to flicker amid the statistical gloom. They come from various sources: internet-connected thermometers; smartphone GPS data; a study by private researchers in Bellevue, Wash.; state-by-state projections from the University of Washington; reports from hospitals in the San Francisco Bay Area.

All of this new information points to the same hopeful, if tentative, conclusion. In areas of America that caught the coronavirus early in its trajectory — and quickly implemented the sort of strict, sweeping social distancing measures recommended by public health officials — the curve may be starting to bend. The virus may be starting to spread more slowly. Staying home may be starting to work.

And as Birx has been telling the public all week, the two states to watch are Washington and California. For now, only 8 percent of COVID-19 tests there are coming back positive — compared to 35 percent in New York and New Jersey, 26 percent in Louisiana and 15 percent in Michigan, Connecticut, Indiana, Georgia and Illinois.

“California and Washington reacted very early to this,” Birx told reporters Tuesday. “Washington state, early, about two weeks before New York or New Jersey ... California, a week before New York or New Jersey, really talked to their communities and decided to mitigate before they started seeing this number of cases. And now we know that makes a big difference.”

“What I found is when governors call me, I mean, I think in every case they’ve always been so nice. And then I’ll see them on television and it’s like a different person. I guess they assume I don’t watch them or something, but I watch very closely.”
— President Trump, quoted by the Wall Street Journal.

Nobody gives a damn about your "Big Brother is Watching You" threats, you incompetent POS president. What we need is someone who is honest and at least tries to do what is best for the country -- which you failed to do big time in the following post.

Trump Axed Massive Mask Manufacturing Plan in 2018
April 4, 2020 at 3:54 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard

“In September 2018, the Trump administration received detailed plans for a new machine designed to churn out millions of protective respirator masks at high speed during a pandemic,” the Washington Post reports.

“The plans, submitted to the Department of Health and Human Services by medical manufacturer O&M Halyard, were the culmination of a venture unveiled almost three years earlier by the Obama administration.

“But HHS did not proceed with making the machine.”

Interesting not only how impeached Trump never really answered the question as to who "our" and "ourselves" specifically means (cuz I doubt he knows, even if it's really true), but also the difference in how he treats the two reporters. First is Weijia Jiang of CBS News. Second is Jon Karl of ABC News.

Chilling is when replying about national stockpile distribution to the states he says, "Not that we have to"

Transcript from White House Press Pool:

WEIJIA JIANG Q President Trump, thank you. Yesterday, Jared Kushner said the notion of the federal stockpile was, it's supposed to be "our” stockpile. It's not supposed to be state stockpiles that they then use. What did he mean by "our"? And --

TRUMP: Well, why don't you ask him?

Q And even the fact that taxpayers from every state pays for it --

TRUMP: What’s that? A “gotcha”? “I gotcha.” You used the word “our.”

Q No, it’s not a “gotcha.” What did he mean by it?

TRUMP: “Our” -- you know, what “our” means? United States of America. That's what it means. It means --

Q So it means the states?

TRUMP: Our. Our. It means the United States of America. And then we take that “our” and we distribute it to the states.

Q So why did he say it’s not supposed --

TRUMP: Not that we have to --

Q -- to be state stockpiles that they then can use?

TRUMP: Because we need it for the government and we need it for the federal government.

Q To give to the states.

TRUMP: But when the states are in trouble -- no, to also keep --

Q Then who are you giving to if it’s not to the states?

TRUMP: To keep -- to keep for our country, because the federal government needs it too, not just the states. But out of that, we oftentimes choose -- as an example, we have almost 10,000 ventilators and we are ready to rock with those ventilators. We're going to bring them to various areas of the country that need them. But when he says “our,” he's talking about our country. He's talking --

Q But he makes the distinction.

TRUMP: Excuse me.

Q And, sir --

TRUMP: He's talking about the federal government. I mean, it's such a basic, simple question, and you try and make it sound so bad.

Q It’s not bad. I’m just trying to --

TRUMP: You ought to be -- you ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Q -- understand. No -- by the way, Secretary Azar --

TRUMP: You know what? You ought to be ashamed. It's such a simple question. He said “our.” And “our” means for the country and “our” means for the states --

Q But then he said it’s not supposed to be state stockpiles.

TRUMP: -- because the states are part of the country. Don't make it sound bad. Don't make it sound bad.

Go ahead, Steve. Go ahead, back here.

Q But, Mr. President, the HHS even changed the language on the website.

TRUMP: You just asked your question. You just asked your question in a very nasty tone.

Q I don’t think it was nasty.

TRUMP: Let’s go.

Q I think you didn’t give me an answer.

TRUMP: Please.

Q Mr. President --

TRUMP: I gave you a perfect answer. You know it. Go ahead.

JON KARL Q Well, just to follow up on that: When we have the federal stockpile -- I mean, isn't that designed to be able to distribute to the states who need it?

TRUMP: Sure. But it's also needed for the federal government. We have a federal stockpile and they have state stockpiles. And, frankly, they were -- many of the states were totally unprepared for this. So we had to go into the federal stockpile. But we're not an ordering clerk. They have to have for themselves.

"Researchers in Australia report that Ivermectin, an FDA-approved drug commonly used to treat parasites, appears to be effective in treating the SARS-COV-2 coronavirus (COVID-19). The drug is widely available and can be “repurposed” for this application, doctors said.
