clashdaily--2020-04-03--El Rushbo Explains Bob Kraft’s Mission Using Team Plane to Bring N95 Masks To Boston

As someone who knows a thing or two about flying private planes , Rush has a few observations to make about this story .
New England Patriots owner , Bob Kraft is one of those guys who knows everything there is to know in his city .
And when Boston needed a way to get Masks From China flown home to Boston , they turned to a guy they could count on to things done .
It ’ s another example of the accumulated wealth , experience , and problem-solving expertise being put to work to overcome an obstacle that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s see the Usual Suspects on the Left decry the lavish wealth of this billionaire being misused to *checks notes* deliver much-needed PPE to Boston-area doctors , nurses and first responders .
Trending : Engineer Admits He Deliberately Ran Train Off The Rails In An Attempt To Hit Hospital Ship USNS Mercy Here is Rush Limbaugh ’ s telling of this amazing story… in nearly its entirety .
I ’ ve had a lot of people react with curiosity to me .
Some people are upset by this .
Some people are very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people are suspicious of it .
Robert Kraft and his son Jonathan , the owners of the New England Patriots , sent their team plane — it ’ s a Boeing 767 — over to Shenzhen , China , to pick up a bunch of N95 masks from the ChiComs .
They spent $ 2 million of their own money to do this .
People say , “ Why the hell did they have to do it ?
Why does the New England Patriots plane have to go over there ?
It ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It ’ s been outfitted to carry a football team .
Why does the New England Patriots plane have to go over there and do this ?
Why can ’ t the United States send a series of cargo jets to get what we need — and why are we getting these things from the Chinese anyway ?
” Other people are saying , “ Isn ’ t it a great thing that the Krafts did ?
Isn ’ t this a wonderful thing ?
” …At 3:38 a.m. Wednesday morning , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , China.
” It ’ s a Boeing 767 .
“ [ I ] n the cargo hold… ” The cargo hold is where they put the players ’ equipment , everything they need to go when they take the team on the road .
It seats about 70 people .
It ’ s been outfitted to carry a football team .
It ’ s not a cargo plane .
“ There were 1.2 million N95 masks ” on the Patriots ’ plane “ bound for the U.S. Video and pictures of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suits at Shenzhen … Airport loading box after box of the scarce and valuable personal protective equipment onto a red , white and blue plane emblazoned with the Patriots logo… ” The ChiComs allowed the Patriots ’ plane to be “ on the ground … for a maximum of three hours.
” This is actually a phenomenal story , how this all happened .
RUSH : Robert Kraft , the owner of the New England Patriots , said , “ I ’ ve never seen so much red tape in so many ways @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” just to go to China to get some N95 masks and bring ’ em back .
The Chinese government gave them permission to be on the ground for three hours .
They were able to load that plane with the things they needed in two hours and 57 minutes .
They had to stop in Anchorage , Alaska , on the way because the airplane does not have the international avionics necessary to make the trip .
So they had to upgrade the avionics if the cockpit .
In addition to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tires , and they had to select spare parts for engines and for other parts of the plane that they couldn ’ t count on the Chinese having were there any kind of malfunction .
A mechanical malfunction en route or after they had landed — like if they blew a tire on landing , they couldn ’ t count on the ChiComs having a spare for a Boeing 767 .
They had to take all of that stuff .
They had to make sure they had it — and the Chinese made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said , “ We ’ re not providing you anything.
” They had to make sure they were able to land and then get back off the ground , whether they had any kind of a “ mechanical ” or not .
They had to take the crew .
The crew had to have its proper crew rest .
The stop is Anchorage when you go to China .
You leave the United States , you go to the Left Coast , then you fly to Anchorage .
You stop .
You rebirth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Re-stock the airplane , refuel , head on over to China .
Three hours on the ground for the turnaround to refuel , to load it up , and then get back on the road — on the way — to Anchorage and then finally back to Logan International Airport in Boston .
They had to get all this done for a million N95 masks .
Now , the Krafts were happy to do it .
The governor of Massachusetts asked them to .
The governor… Massachusetts does not have a plane @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have a federalist sense… This is masks that the state of Massachusetts wanted .
These were not masks the federal government was gon na provide .
So Massachusetts had to find a way to get ’ em , and they did not lean on some socialist outfit .
They leaned on Mr. Kraft , who was more than happy to do it .
The New England Patriots have two Boeing 767s .
They have a backup in case one has a problem .
The team has to get to where it ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ use the second one to take sponsors and so forth and so on .
But I ’ ll tell you something : Owning two Boeing 767s ?
( chuckles ) That is no mean feat in itself .
They charter them during the rest of the year a little bit , you know , to make sure they ’ re not just losing money sitting on the ground .
But this is a phenomenal story .
I suppose our good friends the ChiComs… Three hours on the ground to load that airplane , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in at two hours and 57 minutes , all to get one million N95 masks back to the state of Massachusetts .
And Mr. Kraft said , “ I have never seen so much red tape in so many ways , obstacles at what we had to overcome , ” not to mention the carbon footprint that this required ?
A million masks ?
The carbon footprint !
Anyway , kudos to the Krafts .
The saw a need , they had an ability to meet that need , and they got busy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
How many lives were saved from this one TRUE act of public service ?
None of us will ever know .
We literally can not measure it And how does the aggressive left want to show their gratitude to him , and other business leaders stepping up across a variety of industries , including manufacturing ( like the hated ‘ My Pillow ’ guy ) and even *gasp* Big Pharma and Medical Insurance companies ?
They want to abolish Billionaires .
Will the EVER learn ?

As someone who knows a thing or two about flying private planes, Rush has a few observations to make about this story.
New England Patriots owner, Bob Kraft is one of those guys who knows everything there is to know in his city. And when Boston needed a way to get Masks From China flown home to Boston, they turned to a guy they could count on to things done.
It’s another example of the accumulated wealth, experience, and problem-solving expertise being put to work to overcome an obstacle that had stumped all others.
Let’s see the Usual Suspects on the Left decry the lavish wealth of this billionaire being misused to *checks notes* deliver much-needed PPE to Boston-area doctors, nurses and first responders.
Boston IS Liz Warren’s backyard, isn’t it?
Here is Rush Limbaugh’s telling of this amazing story… in nearly its entirety.
I’ve had a lot of people react with curiosity to me. Some people are upset by this. Some people are very happy about it. A lot of people are suspicious of it. Robert Kraft and his son Jonathan, the owners of the New England Patriots, sent their team plane — it’s a Boeing 767 — over to Shenzhen, China, to pick up a bunch of N95 masks from the ChiComs.
They spent $2 million of their own money to do this. People say, “Why the hell did they have to do it? Why does the New England Patriots plane have to go over there? It’s not even a cargo plane! It’s been outfitted to carry a football team. Why does the New England Patriots plane have to go over there and do this? Why can’t the United States send a series of cargo jets to get what we need — and why are we getting these things from the Chinese anyway?”
Other people are saying, “Isn’t it a great thing that the Krafts did? Isn’t this a wonderful thing?”
…At 3:38 a.m. Wednesday morning, the … team plane departed from … Shenzhen, China.” It’s a Boeing 767. “[I]n the cargo hold…” The cargo hold is where they put the players’ equipment, everything they need to go when they take the team on the road. It seats about 70 people. It’s been outfitted to carry a football team. It’s not a cargo plane.
“There were 1.2 million N95 masks” on the Patriots’ plane “bound for the U.S. Video and pictures of the event show workers in masks and full-body suits at Shenzhen … Airport loading box after box of the scarce and valuable personal protective equipment onto a red, white and blue plane emblazoned with the Patriots logo…”
The ChiComs allowed the Patriots’ plane to be “on the ground … for a maximum of three hours.”
This is actually a phenomenal story, how this all happened.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Robert Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots, said, “I’ve never seen so much red tape in so many ways and obstacles that we had to overcome,” just to go to China to get some N95 masks and bring ’em back. The Chinese government gave them permission to be on the ground for three hours. They were able to load that plane with the things they needed in two hours and 57 minutes.
They had to stop in Anchorage, Alaska, on the way because the airplane does not have the international avionics necessary to make the trip. So they had to upgrade the avionics if the cockpit. In addition to that, they had to put spare tires, and they had to select spare parts for engines and for other parts of the plane that they couldn’t count on the Chinese having were there any kind of malfunction.
A mechanical malfunction en route or after they had landed — like if they blew a tire on landing, they couldn’t count on the ChiComs having a spare for a Boeing 767. They had to take all of that stuff. They had to make sure they had it — and the Chinese made them bring all that stuff. They said, “We’re not providing you anything.” They had to make sure they were able to land and then get back off the ground, whether they had any kind of a “mechanical” or not.
They had to take the crew.
The crew had to have its proper crew rest.
The stop is Anchorage when you go to China. You leave the United States, you go to the Left Coast, then you fly to Anchorage. You stop. You rebirth. You regenerate, sleep, whatever. Re-stock the airplane, refuel, head on over to China. Three hours on the ground for the turnaround to refuel, to load it up, and then get back on the road — on the way — to Anchorage and then finally back to Logan International Airport in Boston.
They had to get all this done for a million N95 masks. Now, the Krafts were happy to do it. The governor of Massachusetts asked them to. The governor… Massachusetts does not have a plane that could do this, and we have a federalist sense… This is masks that the state of Massachusetts wanted. These were not masks the federal government was gonna provide.
So Massachusetts had to find a way to get ’em, and they did not lean on some socialist outfit. They leaned on Mr. Kraft, who was more than happy to do it. The New England Patriots have two Boeing 767s. They have a backup in case one has a problem. The team has to get to where it’s going for road games. Sometimes they use the second one to take sponsors and so forth and so on.
But I’ll tell you something: Owning two Boeing 767s? (chuckles) That is no mean feat in itself. They charter them during the rest of the year a little bit, you know, to make sure they’re not just losing money sitting on the ground. But this is a phenomenal story. I suppose our good friends the ChiComs… Three hours on the ground to load that airplane, to refuel it?
And they came in at two hours and 57 minutes, all to get one million N95 masks back to the state of Massachusetts. And Mr. Kraft said, “I have never seen so much red tape in so many ways, obstacles at what we had to overcome,” not to mention the carbon footprint that this required? A million masks? The carbon footprint!
Anyway, kudos to the Krafts.
The saw a need, they had an ability to meet that need, and they got busy looking for a way to solve it.
How many lives were saved from this one TRUE act of public service?
None of us will ever know. We literally cannot measure it

Two things can be true at the same time .

clashdaily--2020-04-03--AOC Wants REPARATIONS Considered In Coronavirus Relief Funding

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ( D-NY ) believes that coronavirus relief should be scaled by race .
On Friday morning , AOC tweeted , “ COVID deaths are disproportionately spiking in Black + Brown communities .
Why ?
Because the chronic toll of redlining , environmental racism , wealth gap , etc .
ARE underlying health conditions .
Inequality is a comorbidity .
COVID relief should be drafted with a lens of reparations.
” She ’ s saying that inequality is a preexisting health condition that is inextricably tied to race .
This is somehow not racist to our friends on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ racist because AOC wants to take into consideration an immutable characteristic and use that to create a blanket-measure rather than treating everyone as equal .
It seems a wee bit antithetical to the view that our Founding Fathers held that “ all men are created equal.
” It ’ s clear that what AOC is trying to do is consider the need for those with lower incomes , but she does so while holding onto the notion that this can only be done by looking at people through the lens of race .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ family should be given less assistance than a low-income black family ?
Many of the chronic conditions place people in the higher risk category for morbidity from COVID-19 , such as diabetes , high blood pressure , and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease , are all higher in the black community .
This is why AOC is pushing the racial impact of the coronavirus .
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez has been sounding the alarm on the racial impact of the coronavirus pandemic and criticized members of her own party for not doing enough to alleviate the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ She has used the crisis as an opportunity to push her radical agenda , including universal health care , universal college , guaranteed housing and instituting a living wage .
On Tuesday , she slammed Democratic Gov .
Andrew Cuomo for suspending mortgage payments but not rent payments during the coronavirus pandemic .
Instead , he halted evictions for 90 days , though renters will still be responsible for missed payments .
The intersectional idiots really need to stop racializing everything like this .
Let ’ s attempt to use AOC logic for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the coronavirus is more lethal to men than women .
Does that mean that we should give more money to men than women ?
It ’ s just a hunch , but I ’ m thinking that AOC would say no to that , despite it the “ settled science ” on that .

Where are the regions that are hardest hit ?

This makes sense when you have people living in packed together like they are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more difficult to “ socially distance ” and reduce the spread .
There is a clear urban/rural divide with the coronavirus in the rapid rate of transmission .
It will likely take longer for someone who lives out on a farm and doesn ’ t head into town all that much to contract the virus than someone who lives in midtown Manhattan in a highrise .

Actually, it is racist because AOC wants to take into consideration an immutable characteristic and use that to create a blanket-measure rather than treating everyone as equal. It seems a wee bit antithetical to the view that our Founding Fathers held that “all men are created equal.”
It’s clear that what AOC is trying to do is consider the need for those with lower incomes, but she does so while holding onto the notion that this can only be done by looking at people through the lens of race.
Does this mean that a low-income white family should be given less assistance than a low-income black family?
Many of the chronic conditions place people in the higher risk category for morbidity from COVID-19, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, are all higher in the black community. This is why AOC is pushing the racial impact of the coronavirus.
The Washington Times reports:
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez has been sounding the alarm on the racial impact of the coronavirus pandemic and criticized members of her own party for not doing enough to alleviate the financial burden faced by low-income families. She has used the crisis as an opportunity to push her radical agenda, including universal health care, universal college, guaranteed housing and instituting a living wage. On Tuesday, she slammed Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo for suspending mortgage payments but not rent payments during the coronavirus pandemic. Instead, he halted evictions for 90 days, though renters will still be responsible for missed payments.
The intersectional idiots really need to stop racializing everything like this.
Let’s attempt to use AOC logic for a minute…
It has been widely reported that the coronavirus is more lethal to men than women. Does that mean that we should give more money to men than women?
It’s just a hunch, but I’m thinking that AOC would say no to that, despite it the “settled science” on that.
Besides, there is clearly some politics in play here.
Where are the regions that are hardest hit? The urban centers. This makes sense when you have people living in packed together like they are in big cities it’s much more difficult to “socially distance” and reduce the spread. There is a clear urban/rural divide with the coronavirus in the rapid rate of transmission. It will likely take longer for someone who lives out on a farm and doesn’t head into town all that much to contract the virus than someone who lives in midtown Manhattan in a highrise.
Don’t forget that AOC represents a district in New York City which is the American epicenter of the coronavirus. She’s trying to look out for her own. It would be really nice if she could do that without resorting to playing racial politics and pushing a particular agenda.
After all, we’re all going to be affected at some point.

Republicans Were Keeping An Eye On The Coronavirus Situation While Democrats Were Working On Impeachment (VIDEO)

Remember the State of the Union speech that Speaker Pelosi made a great show of tearing up? President Trump spoke about the coronavirus outbreak in China in it.
Watch:
What were Democrats doing?

And this:
House Democrats walk over and hand the signed articles of impeachment to the Senate. A historic moment. (Sound on) pic.twitter.com/jRLpGPzEaF — Jason Howerton (@jason_howerton) January 15, 2020
Hardly a damned thing was done in the House or the Senate while Washington was in the midst of the impeachment nonsense. Regular business was, for the most part, set aside.
The federal government was focused on what amounted to a waste of time dealing with a made-up crisis that sucked up all of the media’s attention. Politics and the media are inextricably tied. If there had been more coverage on coronavirus, perhaps we could have acted earlier and saved some lives in the process. (Of course, that’s just speculation on my part.)
But it wasn’t just the politics of impeachment that Democrats were paying attention to. When they were finally jolted from their slumber about the coronavirus, they politicized it.
Tom Elliott of Grabien News put together a “supercut” of Democrats giving terrible advice to the public about the coronavirus. Democrats were more concerned about perceived racism than about the possible public health fallout.
SUPERCUT! Dems give really terrible Coronavirus advice pic.twitter.com/j9pTJr5Lw5 — Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) April 1, 2020
Despite the gaslighting by people in the Media(D)–I’m looking at you, Joe Scarborough–Democrats weren’t exactly taking the lead in their concern for the coronavirus becoming a global pandemic.
Do you know who was worried? Senator Tom Cotton(R-AK). On January 30, he was sounding the alarm as others mocked him for it. He was apparently “fear-mongering.”
China is still lying about the spread of coronavirus, as they have from the start. We now know the first case manifested no later than December 1. A month later, they continued to hide it from their own citizens. Today, it is in every single province in China. pic.twitter.com/953kskJERh — Tom Cotton (@SenTomCotton) January 30, 2020
Keep in mind that people were dealing with the information that was given at the time, including deliberate disinformation from the Chinese government that was fed through the World Health Organization.
The difference is that Republicans like Sen. Cotton are skeptical about the information that is provided by the Chinese Communist Party, but the globalist leftists don’t think that the Chinese would lie about their bungled response and put the world at risk. It’s not just naivety about the Chinese government, it’s ignorance.

The letter opens , “ Thank you for your Democrat public relations letter and incorrect soundbites , which are wrong in every way.
” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer ( D-NY ) has been focused on his opposition to President Trump since Inauguration Day 2017 .
“ Cryin ’ Chuck ” has opposed , ranted , raved , and worked very hard to make President Trump look bad at every turn .
All of this despite having known the President for years and happily taking campaign donations from him in the past .
How things changed when Trump put an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Senator Schumer , who seemed to be constantly in front of a camera for the past three years , and especially during the impeachment , is back on CNN blasting the President for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic .

Senator Schumer posted a copy of his letter to the President on social media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Senator Schumer wrote , “ It is long past the time for your Administration to designate a senior military officer to fix this urgent problem .
That officer should be given full authority under the Defense Production Act ( DPA ) to complete and rapidly implement a plan for the increased production , procurement and distribution of the critically-needed medical devices and equipment.
” Rear Admiral John Polowczyk was appointed to do this very job on March 22 through FEMA .
President Trump sent a letter in response to the Senate Majority @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

As you are aware , the Federal Government is merely a back-up for state governments .
Unfortunately , your site needed far more of a back-up than most others .

Democrats have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ progressive agenda , and Senator Schumer is no different .
He says that “ Phase 4 ” of the coronavirus bill should focus on “ green infrastructure.

Here is the full text:
Dear Senator Schumer,
Thank you for your Democrat public relations letter and incorrect sound bites, which are wrong in every way.
As you are aware, Vice President Pence is in charge of the Task Force. By almost all accounts, he has done a spectacular job. The Defense Production Act(DPA) has been consistently used by my team and me for the purchase of billions of dollars’ worth of equipment, medical supplies, ventilators, and other related items. It has been powerful leverage, so powerful that companies generally do whatever we are asking, without even a formal notice. They know something is coming, and that’s all they need to know. A “senior military officer” is in charge of purchasing, distributing, etc. His name is Rear Admiral John Polowczyk. He is working 24 hours a day, and is highly respected by everyone.

If they did, they would likely win.
Fortunately, we have been working with your state and city governments, Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill DeBlasio, to get the job done.

Senator Schumer responded to the response and said that he was “appalled” and he wants the President to “stop the pettiness.”

clashdaily--2020-04-03--How Deadly Is The Wuhan Flu?

How Deadly Is The Wuhan Flu?

Which cities in the US have the most coronavirus ?
The New York Times collected the reported deaths from the virus so far this year .
I emphasize the word “ reported ” .
Early in the year , the Wuhan flu might not have been recognized as the cause of death .
Later , testing services were hard to get as the number of suspected patients rose rapidly .
For political reasons , some hospitals might have classified all viral respiratory infections as the Coronavirus .
What the numbers from the NY Times didn ’ t tell us was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the virus .
I estimated that for you .
Some of the first victims of the Wuhan flu were people who were already seriously sick .
They died with the virus , but the virus was simply the final cause that pushed them over the edge .
For perspective , the flu kills some elderly people every year .
In contrast , we also saw some people die who had no previously recognized illness .
That made us think the Wuhan flu could be particularly dangerous .
That is why it is important @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people who ’ ve had the Wuhan flu , and the number who died from it .
I wondered if the virus was really as dangerous as the news reports described .
About 1.3 million of us had the Wuhan flu , and about 22 thousand of us died with it .
It implies that the flu was lethal about 1.7 percent of the time if you caught it .
That sounds serious , but.. That infection rate is misleading because of the people who had the Wuhan flu but were never tested @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the patients who became seriously ill enough to require medical attention and were tested .
We don ’ t know how many people felt bad for an evening , were healthy the next day , and never bothered to see a doctor .
We need to dig a little deeper to understand what is happening with this disease .
Trending : Engineer Admits He Deliberately Ran Train Off The Rails In An Attempt To Hit Hospital Ship USNS Mercy I looked at the areas that reported ten or more fatalities from the Wuhan @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Of course we expect more people in our larger cities to catch this flu , but how many more is important .
When we do that , we see that we have a very small chance of dying from this disease so far .
Up until the first of April , the average cumulative death rate from the Wuhan flu is 34 deaths per million population , or 0.0034 % .
That rate is quite low .
The ordinary flu is expected to kill 36 people per million over three months of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ means the regular flu is about as dangerous as what we ’ ve seen from the Wuhan flu so far .
So far , this disease is dangerous , but not frighteningly so .
I thought that was the case , but now I have the numbers to show it .
I keep saying “ so far ” because we ’ re still learning about this disease .
This virus isn ’ t in every population yet .
We also don ’ t know how many people had the Wuhan flu and shrugged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we ’ re staying home and washing our hands to limit the rate at which the virus spreads .
That does two things .
First , these precautions slightly reduces the total number of us who will catch the Wuhan virus over time .
That is good , but the second effect is to slow down the spread of the disease and significantly reduce the number of us who have it at any one time .
That helps our doctors keep up with the disease and treat those who are seriously ill. That @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disease is changing quickly .
Last week we didn ’ t have a simple and quick test to determine if you ’ ve had this flu and are now immune to it .
Those tests came out this week .
I suspect we ’ ll have a vaccine in a few months .
In the meantime , wash your hands .

Hard times call for hard choices — so , is Cuomo making the right one ?
He ’ s planning to scoop up the ‘ extra ’ supplies ( as defined by Cuomo and company , not by the local health professionals ) and ‘ redeploy ’ them in more worthy New York locations .

“ I apologize for the hardship to those institutions — ultimately there is no hardship , if you don ’ t get the ventilator back , I give you my personal word I will pay you for the ventilator — but I ’ m not going to let people die because we didn ’ t redeploy these ventilators.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ A New One — Here ’ s Why He plans to sign an executive order to give the state the power to take equipment from private hospitals , nursing homes , and other facilities .

The executive order will give him the power to make that mandatory .
“ Hospitals who are not dealing with Covid are seeing very low activity and it ’ s not that we ’ re going to leave any health care facility without adequate equipment , but they don ’ t need excess equipment , ” the governor said .

He’s planning to scoop up the ‘extra’ supplies (as defined by Cuomo and company, not by the local health professionals) and ‘redeploy’ them in more worthy New York locations.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said that he would use the National Guard to take ventilators and protective equipment from hospitals and other health care facilities in upstate New York where they’re not in use to deploy the lifesaving equipment in the New York City area. “I’m not going to be in a position where people are dying and we have several hundred ventilators in our own state, somewhere else,” Cuomo said on Friday during his daily briefing. “I apologize for the hardship to those institutions — ultimately there is no hardship, if you don’t get the ventilator back, I give you my personal word I will pay you for the ventilator — but I’m not going to let people die because we didn’t redeploy these ventilators.” He plans to sign an executive order to give the state the power to take equipment from private hospitals, nursing homes, and other facilities. Cuomo objected to a reporter’s question saying the state would “seize” ventilators, instead describing it as “sharing” of resources. …On Thursday, Cuomo said the state would be surveying hospitals on a daily basis to ask them what personal protective equipment — masks, gowns, gloves — they had on hand and ask them to voluntarily contribute to a state stockpile that could then be distributed as needed. The executive order will give him the power to make that mandatory. “Hospitals who are not dealing with Covid are seeing very low activity and it’s not that we’re going to leave any health care facility without adequate equipment, but they don’t need excess equipment,” the governor said. — Politico
We have been watching the situation in New York City and we have an increase in cases, hospitalizations and deaths in other parts of New York. Taking our ventilators by force leaves people without protection and hospitals unable to save lives today or respond to a coming surge. — Tom Reed (@RepTomReed) April 3, 2020
We stand together opposing the Governor's very dangerous and reckless action of taking our ventilators. He is leaving our communities in a terrible position which will cost lives. — Tom Reed (@RepTomReed) April 3, 2020
How could depleting emergency stores at vulnerable places that haven’t *yet* been hit hard possibly go wrong?
Hypothetically, what happens if someone who COULD have been helped is denied proper treatment in one of these places where he’s planning to take these medical supplies from because the ‘extra’ supplies they had the good sense to supply were taken from them?
Didn’t de Blasio have a chance to make sure NYC was well-supplied? And what did he prioritize?
He prioritized solar cells. The mayor didn’t even start to order emergency PPE until MARCH… LONG after the rest of the world was snapping up supply.
Cuomo’s record was no better.
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. Now the pandemic is actually here. Cuomo’s grim reaper rules will be applied. New York City’s deputy commissioner for disease control Demetre Daskalakis is anticipating “some very serious difficult decisions.” So far, in New York City, 1 out of every 4 people with a confirmed case has been hospitalized, and 44% of them have needed a ventilator. — GP
And now, the Leadership Failures of these two men have become a life-endangering emergency for ordinary New Yorkers.

clashdaily--2020-04-04--Debunking The 5G Coronavirus Conspiracy Theory Using Science

There are all kinds of weird ideas popping up in this Coronavirus crisis… not all of them are coming from Chinese Propaganda or NeverTrump media hacks .
Let ’ s all pay a visit to tinfoil hat country where some folks have entirely too much time on their hands .
The latest crazed theory is that 5G towers are triggering the Wuhan Chinese Coronavirus .
Here are a few examples of the tech panic : Yes , they walk among us .
Now , we shouldn ’ t HAVE to explain this , but here we are .
A virus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the same components you will find in living cells , where it invades a living cell , makes millions of copies of itself , and sends those copies out into the host , and later the wide , wide world .
5G uses something like radio waves , just at a different wavelength .
“ In fact , according to a seven-year-long scientific study published just this month , 5G has no detrimental health effects in general.
” The COVID-19 coronavirus is widely reported to have originated at a market in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ around December of last year .
China also happened to have turned on some of its first 5G networks around November of last year , so somehow , people , especially those who fear new technology and/or do not understand it , thought that there must have been some kind of causal relationship between the introduction of 5G and the inception of the new virus .
— Source : USAToday Yeah , some people are suspicious of any technology .
It ’ s hardly a new trend .
The original ‘ Luddites ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Industrial Revolution before it got off the ground .
In the latest scientific study , from the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection … they concluded that health-related concerns for 5G overall are not a threat .
As luck would have it , the physics of millimeter wave signals inherently limits the distance they can travel before they dissipate into “ nothingness ” … That ’ s why , for example , the coverage maps for millimeter wave-based 5G service , that carriers like Verizon have , are so limited .
Instead of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ miles of signal coverage as you can with sub-6 GHz signals , mmWave requires small cell towers roughly every block and , oh yeah , those signals can ’ t pass through walls into buildings .
The bottom line is , short of swallowing or embedding a 5G mmWave transmitter into your body and letting it run for a long time , you ’ re safe .
— USAToday That actually IS a ‘ conspiracy theory ’ linked to Wuhan .
Asking questions about China covering up vital information , or WHO carrying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ medical treatment might be promising , or digging into claims that there were no bats sold at the Wuhan wet market , nor resident within hundreds of miles from that market — aside from two labs studying diseases — is NOT a conspiracy .
Maybe the media could figure out the difference .
If they can ever get over their ‘ Orange Man Bad ’ issues .

Yes, they walk among us.
Now, we shouldn’t HAVE to explain this, but here we are.
A virus is biological in nature… comprised of many of the same components you will find in living cells, where it invades a living cell, makes millions of copies of itself, and sends those copies out into the host, and later the wide, wide world.
5G uses something like radio waves, just at a different wavelength. “In fact, according to a seven-year-long scientific study published just this month, 5G has no detrimental health effects in general.”
Here’s how the rumor started:
The COVID-19 coronavirus is widely reported to have originated at a market in the city of Wuhan in China, likely around December of last year. China also happened to have turned on some of its first 5G networks around November of last year, so somehow, people, especially those who fear new technology and/or do not understand it, thought that there must have been some kind of causal relationship between the introduction of 5G and the inception of the new virus. — Source: USAToday
Yeah, some people are suspicious of any technology. It’s hardly a new trend. The original ‘Luddites’ burned down cotton mills to derail the Industrial Revolution before it got off the ground.
In the latest scientific study, from the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection … they concluded that health-related concerns for 5G overall are not a threat.
As luck would have it, the physics of millimeter wave signals inherently limits the distance they can travel before they dissipate into “nothingness” … That’s why, for example, the coverage maps for millimeter wave-based 5G service, that carriers like Verizon have, are so limited. Instead of a single cell tower providing miles and miles of signal coverage as you can with sub-6 GHz signals, mmWave requires small cell towers roughly every block and, oh yeah, those signals can’t pass through walls into buildings. The bottom line is, short of swallowing or embedding a 5G mmWave transmitter into your body and letting it run for a long time, you’re safe. — USAToday
That actually IS a ‘conspiracy theory’ linked to Wuhan.
Asking questions about China covering up vital information, or WHO carrying water for China, suggesting that a medical treatment might be promising, or digging into claims that there were no bats sold at the Wuhan wet market, nor resident within hundreds of miles from that market — aside from two labs studying diseases — is NOT a conspiracy.
Maybe the media could figure out the difference. If they can ever get over their ‘Orange Man Bad’ issues.
