Sen. Akshar on Governor Cuomo Seizing Upstate Ventilators

Wow, and this from a guy that lashes out and threatens neighboring states for trying to protect their citizens by requiring quarantines for New Yorkers. Didn't he also lash out at the feds at the very idea of a quarantine of his state and region calling it "un-American?"

Well, using your national guard to seize privately owned medical equipment from private hospitals and cities/locations in your own state that will need them soon strikes me as not only un-American but likely unconstitutional as well.

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/coronavirus-case-counts-are-meaningless/amp/

I’ll second the recommend, anyone that’s following the numbers at all should definitely read this.

My takeaway: stats on total number of cases, mortality % estimates, and even new cases/day are not good ways of tracking where we are on the curve given variations in tests administered over time and to whom (plus that 2-3 week time lag in test results). Focus on number of deaths and hospital loading/overloading stats is more meaningful at this time.

Quoted from Utesichiban:
However, your premise loses all credibility when you imply that the Chinese government doesn't have some serious liability and negligence on their hands.

I don't mean to say that, I'm sorry if my text reads that way. I try to say that it's just that everybody already knows that we cannot blindly trust the Chinese information, so you even though you also do (and have to) look at the information the Chinese government provides, you don't just say 'let's believe them and ignore all the other information we have'. That just doesn't maken any sense. We can blame the Chinese government for not providing all the correct information, that's right. But that blaming is also being used as an excuse for not having done more before, though experts and other countries already gave a lot of information about the seriousness of the virus and the situation. I think that is a false reason and a bad excuse.

Ok thank you for the clarification. I agree with you on that. More should have been done here and worldwide to prepare for this and that does ultimately fall on some of our leaders.

I just think China downplayed their numbers significantly which gave too many a sense that that this wouldn't be that bad. To your point, that is not an excuse to not prepare adequately but it is just more evidence that the Chinese government is more worried about their own economic considerations and saving face then being a trustworthy and credible part of the global community. That has to change once this is mercifully over.

I tried to explain to them about how the virus hangs in the air and can travel 27 feet when someone coughs but they said that's all hypothetical stuff.

Rather than downvote me, why don't you guys tell me where I'm wrong here. I'm not saying anything that isnt being said by leaders in upstate New York who to this point have been very supportive of Cuomo.

Look, I feel for NYC and what is happening there. The good news is they just received over 1100 ventilators from China and Oregon. I do understand why if you're a resident or local leader in upstate New York why you would be upset and very concerned about this development, though. Are you going to get the equipment back in a timely manner if it is being used elsewhere?

Seizing medical equipment without the consent of local leaders or the organizations that own the equipment just strikes me as pretty questionable. Sorry, that is just how I see it.

Watch Cuomo’s press conference today, Sunday. He explains his rationale very clearly....yet again....and why he considers it a sound plan. Cuomo is not leaving anyone in the lurch. He’s taking a stance and making a hard, proactive decision. That’s why he’s such a good governor.

I'll say this as a union member myself. There's only so much the union can do in this situation. You can take your grievance about working in close proximity situations, but there's nothing beyond that they can do. The other day my local chairman was told to go home because he refused to work with three guys in the cab of a locomotive. There will definitely be formal charges brought up against him for insubordination, which could mean termination for him.

I work for a Canadian based railroad and interact with Canadian union members and their unions are so much stronger than the U.S.

I just got the phone call yesterday that I'm being forced to work in Chicago, a known hot spot. I have to go through a month of training there where there will be 3 or 4 guys in a locomotive cab. I can either work, quit, or take a leave of absence. Guess I'm taking the LOA and eating ketchup sandwiches for a while.

Here’s some specifics. From the New York Times*:

“Mr. Cuomo said he would seek to shift patients from overloaded hospitals to other facilities with lighter workloads and more equipment. This was needed, he said, to address shortages in capacity and equipment in various parts of the state. “I can’t say to a hospital I will send you all the supplies you need, all the vents you need. We don’t have them,” he said. “You are going to have to shift and deploy to different locations based on the need of that location.”

“Let’s put that fire out before it gets to us”: That was Mr. Cuomo’s response to concerns from residents in other parts of the state who were concerned that they would be left vulnerable if the state redeployed ventilators and other equipment away from their area. “I don’t see any other operational model,” he said. “You cannot handle this without your brothers and sister.”

So far, the governor said, the state has not redeployed any ventilators or equipment.“

*miraculously, the NYT got everything right. I watched the press conference, and they seemed to capture the salient points reasonably well.

Japan has started a serious trial of another existing drug for treatment of covid-19. They are also trying to distribute for free to other countries including USA for testing. Right now the very limited data suggests it is helpful in arresting mild to moderate viral loads. So an early treatment option maybe. Will be interesting to see if this pans out.

Quoted from jlm33:
About the importance of the pandemic, I'm trying to reconcile conflicting numbers and make sense out of them - no wonder people are confused.
- As of today, about 0.1% of US and French populations have been tested positive (it's actually a bit less than 0.1% in the US, a bit more in France). We know there are more than that, but we don't know if it's 2x, 5x, 10x...
- "Only" 65,000 thousands have already died so far worldwide (officially - again we know the real death toll is higher, and I am not only talking about China- it will actually take years to have an accurate estimate). That's far less than the flu.
But then let me give two facts that put again these numbers in perspective:
- We never had so many people in emergency care in France. As compared to accurate stats accumulated for at least 50 years. Never. Even when compared to years where the flu was really bad.
- When looking at total number of deaths in France in March - all causes, just raw stats, so pretty accurate - the number of people dying in areas most affected has jumped to 50%+ as compared to last year. And April will be more deadly. Also remember car traffic decreased a lot, so number of deaths related decreased as well. In other words, Covid19 has caused a doubling or so of total deaths in heavily infected areas.
The last two stats are reliable - no bias, no manipulation possible on cause of hospitalization or death, just raw figures.

So all those people who are so concerned about all the other ways we die that kill so many more than this virus should be happy we are in quarantine since it's essentially lowering most of those other ways to die significantly right? (*cough*)

Anyone else notice more and more restaurants now closing indefinitely versus just being open for carry out? An owner of a local restaurant chain around my area said they will "save" more money staying closed then only being open for carryout. Then I heard this morning that my favorite local breakfast / lunch joint (family owned) is closing until this all blows over as well.

It seems like a lot of businesses that initially said they could keep people on while being closed have now started layoffs. Some of these businesses could afford to keep people on for a couple weeks while being closed but not for a month or more. No wonder this past weeks unemployment claim count jumped to 6 million +. Hope things start improving soon.

Ouch.

Suppose you own a restaurant. If you hard closed for a few months, what are you out beyond rent and utilities? Maybe some spoiled food, and you’d have to eat the cost of restocking once things come back online?

I guess you’d have to restaff too, since the laid off / furloughed employees most likely would have moved on.

Ok, maybe it is easier to understand why 50% would just fold.

Yes, of course. Plenty of restaurants that were open 2 weeks ago are no longer open. They are dropping like flies.

The owner of my favorite Chinese place said she would prefer to be open for carry out but her workers can’t get there (they don’t want to ride long train / bus trips) so its just not feasible.

On the other hand it seems like the places that are still open are doing OK. Almost all the Thai places are still open. Plenty of pizza joints. A diner. Etc.

I think a lot of people, possibly myself included, will have a bit of trouble with the idea of going back to crowded restaurants even when this is over. I havent even gotten take out since this started, cooking my own food at home only.

Quoted from PinJim:
Ouch.
Suppose you own a restaurant. If you hard closed for a few months, what are you out beyond rent and utilities? Maybe some spoiled food, and you’d have to eat the cost of restocking once things come back online?
I guess you’d have to restaff too, since the laid off / furloughed employees most likely would have moved on.
Ok, maybe it is easier to understand why 50% would just fold.

Where are they going to move on to? That's the thing. People keep talking like there are options here. If everything is shut down, there is nothing. There's no reason for anyone to shut down permanently. Just wait it out. Government should mandate no utility shut offs during this time just like they say no rent/evictions. No bank payments either. Stimulus should have included money to utilities to keep them going.

It took me a while to get over it. Maybe 10 days. But I finally
Decided I needed some fuckin take out.

Taking out 3-4 times a week now.

A far cry from my 3X a day regimen before!

Damn ice cream isle at my local Kroger was bare bones again. I need a pint or two of Ben and Jerry's cookie dough (posting this while on an exercise bike lol).

We used to eat out almost daily, but decided to stop that a few years ago. I took up learning to cook better (via the meal delivery services. I miss Chef'd). Since we started doing that we really only go to a restaurant once a month or so. Since this started we haven't eaten take out at all - maybe since early feb, but it wasn't that much of a change for us fortunately.
