Live thread...Prez Trump Presser 3/13/20 Link:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/live/
The President is strong, decisive, a literal genius, and the very best man for this job.
Thank God Almighty that He has placed Donald J. Trump as our president.
ONLY beginning of virus fight trump says...breaking down old rules of health system...
Different phase...now under mass circumstances. ..declare national emergency. ..50 billion dollars
Unleash full power of fed gov. “National Emergency”. Sounds like he’s fast tracking regulations re: anti-virus. Not explicit but implied.
Official national emergency declared...
POTUS seems...off.
“Obama declared a National emergency for H1N1 in 09.
It does not necessarily mean the military is patrolling the streets, it frees up resources and cuts out red tape.”
Yes. It allows allocation of funds.
For example free testing has to be paid for.
What they do not understand (because - don't know - maybe they are just truck drivers and just listen to Rush all day followed by Hannity?) is that there is this little thing called a "National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza -Implementation Plan." THAT is what Pence's Team is using. They coordinate with ALL of these people and make recommendations to the state JOCs and governors and the leagues - etc.
Pence's team is the QB. The call the play from the National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza playbook. IF the states and local officials want to call an audible - then that's on them. If the team calls a pass on 3rd and 15 and the state - or the NBA wants to run the ball - and they fail - then that's on them. I worked this stuff for three decades at some of the highest levels - during Katrina - Swine Flu and all sorts of stuff. I know how it works.
Activate state emergency action plans
Thank you, dear Jane.
All hospitals engaging emergency prepardeness plans
EVERY hospital across the US to activate their emergency operation plans.
He just spoke w/Gov Cuomo...working on their plans, as well.
HHS will be coordinating maximun flexibilty to respond...
Waive laws to enable telehelp (doc via apps).
POTUS does not sound very well. Praying to God that his health is OK.
Local school districts are closing schools left and right.
Maybe...just maybe..this will end up being worse. Not this second. But in two years (this may take a break over the summer...but it will be back.)
Who knows?
Tele health
lots of existing health laws being waived to handle virus...
Huh??? How???
He looks wore out....
Pray for him!
