Look at Germany, a country with leaders who know what they're doing. 10,000 ventilators being manufactured NOW, in Germany, to add to the existing 25,000. No shortage of tests. No shortage of PPE. New emergency hospitals being built NOW. The Germans know how to do public / private / union partnerships that take care of everybody.
The man we criticize is OUR leader. Want me to criticize Xi of China? Or the prime minister of Italy, whose name I don't remember off hand? Why?
Trump is OUR GUY. If he f***s up royally, which he has, it our RIGHT and DUTY as AMERICAN CITIZENS to criticize him.
Surely you agree with that.
They already export significant amounts of pharma & medical supplies. They have a much greater production capacity/ per capita, than does the US.
S Korea similarly.
No, we didn't act 6 weeks ago...still haven't pulled the trigger on nationalizing production and supply rationing of PPE's and ventilators.
Maybe that's about to happen tonight in response to the Gov's going on TV non-stop calling for it...apparently Trump needs to "hear" it. Fox has been running this message all day, too.

FEMA is targeting the Fed reserves of PPE to the most urgent hot spots.
Do state & local govts maintain emerg reserve PPE, or require their hospitals to do so,
or do they cut costs by relying on just in time supply ?

In Germany, where hospitals had about 20,000 ventilators before the outbreak, the government has placed an order for 10,000 machines from Draegerwerk – the equivalent to a year’s normal production at the company.
Re: All things Chinese CoronaVirus
Correct. Never was a 100% effective rate more like 37.5% effective rate on very low statistics. Just more Trumpnista lies. Do a real clinical trial, run by someone who knows how such is done. A bozo politician sticking one finger in the air while another in his ass and pronouncing it all good doesn't cut it.ggait wrote: ↑Sun Mar 22, 2020 4:26 pmThe docs are (and should) be furiously throwing existing drugs at the wall to see if anything sticks. Trying off-label prescriptions and warp speed trials.It apparently is okay for the people of New York as a trial, to begin on Tuesday....according to Cuomo. Is this quackery as well Doc?
Even if HCQ/AZ turns out to be useful in some way, you still have to figure out how to use it. Is it a treatment primarily for healthy asymptomatic folks? Or for high risk folks with already serious symptoms? Is it a treatment or a prophyliaxis? What's the best dose and protocol?
Trump highlighted the fact that 6 of 6 (100%!!!) getting the HCQ/AZ treatment were virus free after 5 days. Good result as compared to the 14-21 day peiod generally. But doesn't mention that six patients dropped out of the treatment group: 3 went to the ICU, one dropped out due to nausea, one left the hospital (maybe recovered?) and one DIED. Just a lot of questions to be answered.
Could be that HCQ/AZ works best in a situation like the actor had -- early detection (which requires ample testing), healthy individual (who would likely get better anyway), early intervention (no or mild symptoms).
So pretty useless unless/until you get testing ramped up.
Fingers crossed.

Maintenance/Engineering: every aspect of work performed in this regard is signed off multiple times by line managers or senior engineers. This redundant QC process is a direct result of not trusting one person to be THE expert. Everything is team-oriented and team-produced.
Pilots: the best pilot can no longer compete with auto-pilot. And that capability spread grows wider every day. Reason? Because an auto pilot system can simultaneously and with no failure rate calculate hundreds of variable inputs. Humans can not. (Cirrus’ Vision Jet now has a Safe Return Burton that anyone reading this can push and the plane will land itself safely every time, no pilot necessary).
Aviation is probably the most glaring industry example of why ‘expertise’ is easily debunked. Not one person can be ‘expert’ at such a complex system. The system is the expert.
I used to do a lot of aviation litigation. Learned the same thing as I did in medicine: small failures can have catastrophic results.
Whether it’s a microscopic arterial plaque triggering a fatal thrombotic cascade or a small switch failure causing a helicopter to literally slice itself in half, complex systems can be brought down by the smallest things.
Coronavirus is just a different variant of that.

You can also drown in a sink if you’re not too careful.
The odds of dying in air and space transport incidents, which include private flights and air taxis, are 1 in 11,000 and trending wider every year. That’s almost four times better chances than you meeting your fate by choking on food.
If only you were making the point you think you’re making. Unfortunately, I’d be the first to tell you to get a second or third or fourth opinion. I may think I know what I know, but more importantly, I know enough to always doubt myself. You shouldn’t reflexively believe my defense of my industry. I’m invested in the outcome.
Seems obvious to me.
This kind of goes to how this debate started. I read an article written by a data nerd and found it compelling. The author began his article stating he was not an epidemiologist, but rather a quant guy who studied numbers. His summary suggested that we as a society are overreacting to COVID-19 and potentially causing more harm in our reactions. The Left proceeded to deplatform this anti Trumper off Medium because they didn’t like his summary, even though he had valid points to make which are thought provoking.
If you needed a second opinion how to repair a jet engine, of course you’re going to ask A&P mechanics, many of them as you need multiple opinions on such a complex assignment. But if you’re asking “is aviation safe?”, the respondent needn’t ever have flown once to be able to point you to data suggesting it is.

The people who are dying are largely the least economically productive in society ... senior citizens and those with serious medical problems. The “markets” would almost certainly view these relatively unproductive “economic units” as expendable.
Only government stands between us and the callous barbarism of the “markets”.
It is worth remembering that what we generally refer to as the “markets” in reality and all practicality reflects what we used to know as the aristocracy ... the business and property elite. The government in a democracy like ours is, for all its flaws, a representation of the people ... or the peasantry in ye days of olde.
There is no way we peasants should defer to the asinine aristocracy in a crisis like this.*
That is all.
