GOP senators tell Trump to make Fauci face of government's coronavirus response BY ALEXANDER BOLTON - 03/10/20 03:29 PM EDT 477
Senate Republicans on Tuesday urged President Trump to get Dr. Anthony Fauci, an infectious disease expert, more involved as the face of the federal response to the coronavirus, according to lawmakers who attended a closed-door lunch with the president.
Senators told Trump that Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has done a great job so far and that they would like to see him become the face of the federal government’s response.
One Republican senator who attended the briefing said Trump was given two main pieces of advice: make better use of Fauci and have more briefings to update Congress and the public on the battle to contain the virus.
The subtext of the advice is that the daily briefings being run by Vice President Pence aren’t doing enough to communicate the administration’s message and reassure the public.
“There was some advice on using Dr. Fauci more,” said the lawmaker, who added that colleagues also want “more briefings.”
A second Republican senator said Fauci should play more of a role because he’s a medical expert specializing in infectious diseases such as the coronavirus.
“That was suggested because he has credibility,” the senator said. “He speaks with authority. He has respect in the medical community. That’s what the suggestion was because this is a medical thing. It’s not a political crisis — though we can make one out of it.”
Trump left some of his GOP allies cringing when he declared at a visit to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that he might have a “natural ability” to deal with the complex health crisis because his uncle was a “super genius” who taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Fauci was appointed as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in 1984 and has advised six presidents on a variety of domestic and global health issues. He oversees a $5.9 billion annual budget.
A Senate Republican aide confirmed, “People want him to be front and center,” referring to a desire for Fauci to play a prominent role.
“They want him to be the face of this,” the source said, noting that Fauci has participated in the daily televised briefings of the coronavirus task force led by Pence.
Senators also discussed their ideas to stimulate the economy, which may take a hit because of supply-chain disruptions in China, canceled travel and possible worker quarantines.
Trump and GOP senators discussed a possible payroll tax cut that would extend until the end of the year.
They also discussed paid sick leave for people affected by the coronavirus as well as small-business loans for affected businesses and delaying the April 15 tax filing deadline.
“The biggest one would clearly be the payroll tax. The questions are what size would it be, whether it would apply to both [employers and workers] and how you replace the money in the Social Security fund,” said a third GOP senator who attended the meeting.
Republican senators also discussed the possibility of adding an infrastructure component, but they would let Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) push for that to be included in the deal.
“Some kind of infrastructure package might be part of this also,” said the senator. “Infrastructure was brought up.”
The U.S. Surgeon General warned on Tuesday that Americans should be prepared for a larger outbreak of coronavirus, but stressed that it shouldn't be a reason to panic.
"People should know this is likely going to get worse before it gets better," Jerome Adams said during an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America".
"Americans should absolutely be prepared, but that doesn't mean that they should be afraid," Adams added.
1 hr 2 min ago US lawmakers will ask Trump to declare a national emergency From CNN's Lauren Fox Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is preparing to ask President Trump to issue a national emergency declaration for the coronavirus. Democratic Sens. Patty Murray and Gary Peters will join Schumer in writing the letter. What this could mean: A declaration would allow the Federal Emergency Management Agency to use the more than $40 billion available in the Disaster Relief Fund to assist state and local governments in their efforts to mitigate spread of COVID-19 and protect public health. FEMA is providing support to state partners like first responders, providing them supplies, like gloves, hand sanitizers and masks, and working closely with US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the US Department of Health and Human Services.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Trump administration on Wednesday plans to urge U.S. states and localities to take stronger steps to fight the coronavirus, U.S. Health Secretary Alex Azar said as the governor of at least one state criticized the federal government’s handling of the outbreak.
“You’re going to hear from CDC today and the White House that we’re going to be making recommendations to those local communities about aggressive steps that we think they should be taking,” he told Fox News in an interview.
Azar added that federal leaders were working with local officials in the hardest hit states so far, including Washington, California, New York, Massachusetts and Florida, as they grappled with the virus, saying “strong mitigation steps” could help buy valuable time to control the virus.

至少川普和家人自己不戴口罩，也不要求手下人戴口罩，还坚持近距离开会，每天和很多人握手。就这点，川普也是表里如一的。

川普的医疗资源你有吗？他有专门的医疗团队，你有啥？
这叫无知者无畏。
我又没说他说的对，只说他表现的表里如一。 你看看，那个信心满满一定打赢这场攻坚战的领袖，什么表现？ 他的医疗团队不更好。
你也别怒，这时候最重要的是看谁能把疫情控制住，结果重要。 吃亏受苦的是老百姓，疫情控制不住，不但身体受罪，经济来源也要断。
他这样的表现对屁民不公平，大家都跟他一样裸奔，最后他有最好的医生和资源，屁民连测试机会都没有。
习近平去武汉该不该戴美国N95？
三个参考：1）北京禁止公务人员戴N95。2）湖北禁止公务人员戴N95。3）湖北书记去医院也没戴N95。
西方人有传统的不怕死冒险精神
从这点说，是的。但是另外一方面，政府还是得正视这个病毒不是？这个病毒的感染性已经不需要再讨论了，他们作为公众人物是不是应该带头注意一下？
表里如一的无知，就他带头这么无知才会让普通老百姓没有防备，普通老百姓连测个新冠都难

马克龙不是高危人群 万分之零点几的死亡率 他不算无知者无畏
倒是带着口罩去疫区宣布胜利 还各种摆拍ps 当真无知者无畏
这事现在根本没证据，只是传言。 另外，历史这么多年，哪个铁腕的领袖，不都沾满了血。 三胖子把铁腕的正邪两面都运用的淋漓尽致。
疫情面前，网开一面救人要紧，政治应该放一边
川普这老头有个脾气就是一条道走到黑。撞了南墙也不回头
对CDC和政府失望了。测个新冠要符合N多条件，其实ct胸片加临床症状，都能几乎确诊了。到现在为止，很多医院呼吁把检测权放到当地医院，其实大家都有能力测。CDC一定要把所有样本集中到他们制定的地方。确诊了，医院还不能宣布，必须又上报一次，由他们核实，由他们宣布。
* Work for WHO
* 伊朗的内阁已经有10-15%感染
* 意大利已经控制不住了，只好封国
* 死亡率和医疗系统的承受能力密切相关
* 韩国每天检验15k，美国现在只有2.5k
* 所有船票机票等都可以退，以前从没发生过
* 全国范围的学校休学估计也快了，虽然得一个个州解决
* 已经不是beginning，已经full blown了
* 中国即使检测阳性，如果没有症状，也不算。中国也并没有完全胜利
* 美国现在只对重症做检测
* 美国现在还只是武汉1月中的状态
* 美国至少有10k cases
* 当新闻开始报道ICU和床位不够时，当死亡率再上升时，大家就要恐慌了
* 这不是flu，至少是一般流感的两倍
* SARS在没有疫苗的情况下9个月内控制住，这次没有疫苗肯定解决不了
* 和SARS不一样，非对称传播，在没有症状时已经开始传播了
* 天气和气温也许能略微帮助，但是还会传去南半球
* 现在太多室内活动，让情况更糟
* 当人们意识到需要把所有活动取消时，已经很严重了
* 新加坡模式没法复制去美国，新加坡每个case都能track到源头，美国根本做不到
* 法国马上会变成下一个意大利
* 低收入人群不希望被检测，一旦查出来被隔离，收入就没了
* 可以WFH的工种其实占比很低
* 美国的人均床位在OECD里就排在18-19样子，低于欧洲
* 美国CDC开始分发1百万的测试盒，但是同时还缺做检测的人，有帮助，但有限，很难达到韩国的检测水平，更别说中国了
* Endgame: 可能会很差，需要转换去做mitigation，马上医院就会满，然后就会开始挑更有治愈可能的人进ICU，加剧恐慌
* 治愈的人：测试结果有不准确性：症状没有+检测两次阴性 -> 然后居然又会出现阳性
* 关于对肺的影响：不确定是不是有终生影响
* 特朗普：经济对他的连任影响巨大，所以尽可能play down，并让VP Pence控制舆论
* CDC的头是受政府影响的，里面的很多科学家其实很担心，有些人为全球40-70%的人会被感染
* Eric认为全球1/6的人在某个点会被感染，但不会同时
* 美国可能会比中国有更多的人感染
* L-type vs S-type: 武汉更多S，中国输出型更多L，但哪个更严重不好说
* 关于疫苗：抗病毒的会更快，可能4月底。但疫苗要更长
* R0大概在2-4，现在流感疫苗也就是48%有效性，这个病毒得疫苗得有80+%的有效性才能真正有效。估计起码要一年
* 美国媒体为什么不报道检测量：因为有人检测很多次，政府中央集中程度很低，各州检测方法差异巨大
Don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger
她老婆又没出来
能告诉你的，就是国家到了危机，战时或临近战时的状态，没有什么行为在那个当下是不合理的。民主人权等等的诉求是悲情的。
感觉挺靠谱的，有link吗？
同济的医生朋友转的， link没有，仅供参考。

无知者无畏！鼓励大家都这样？
他和他老婆可能没有亲密接触
你政治经济学没一个学好的。。。完全没懂什么。。。
你现在就是希望美国向中国一样监狱式防疫，所有小区一律关闭，没有通行证一律呆家里，不如回国。
这两天还看到手拉手上镜头啊！

说得好像习没有医疗团队一样。
虽然不支持大家挤在中餐馆，
但是外卖或者送餐是支持的。
本地生意维持不容易的
位于曼哈顿中城的约翰·杰伊学院（John Jay College）在一名学生周二检测出冠状病毒呈阳性后，将于周三停课。该校有一万五千名学生。
看我们群里一个老中的解释是：就是官宣了，这事已经超过我们政府的应对能力了， 大家自求多福吧～～～
应该是武汉网友大炮筒偷拍到的
有些学校已经逐步停课，开始安排网课了，而且也有已经不要求出勤率了。那种重申的是傻缺，校领导没引起重视，是跟川大嘴一样无知的货

中国药业供应链紊乱，药品短缺担忧蔓延到美国
2020年3月11日 22:10
美国之音
中国制造商和药物原料销售商都抱怨说，新冠病毒疫情引起的物流障碍和劳动力短缺问题造成该行业生产和运输的延迟，加重了人们对全球药物短缺问题的担忧。
中国和印度是全球药物，特别是仿制药物供应链上的重要环节，对美国市场影响很大。
路透社说，中国在美国药物原料市场所占份额只有13%。但是，许多使用广泛的药物所需要的原料以及配置这些原料所需要的化学品也都产于中国。这些东西生产出来以后运往印度等地加工成为药物。
这些药物包括抗生素、布洛芬、对乙酰氨基酚和肝素（一种抗凝剂）等。
美国一个药业协会的药房与质量部门负责人麦克·加尼奥（Michael Ganio）说，医保公司和相关药业部门在密切关注制药企业的情况。
据路透社消息，加尼奥在电邮中说：“新冠病毒对药物供应链造成的影响令人担忧。”
上个月，美国食品药品管理局因一家药物原料制造商受到病毒影响而把一种药物放进了短缺药物清单，不过它没有公布这种药物的名称。尽管如此，路透社说，这次的疫情，到目前为止，还没有给药物短缺问题带来新的影响。
但是，这个月，人们对药物短缺问题可能恶化的担心有所增加。作为仿制药主要供应者的印度禁止出口26种药物原料和由这些原材料配置而成的药物。此举的意图似乎就是针对印度国内可能发生药品短缺。
中国的许多行业都在恢复生产，药物原材料生产商也在上个月开始复工。但是，这个行业的企业主管们表示，交通不畅、原材料短缺和工人不足等问题影响到这些工厂的产量和出口的数量。
路透社引用浙江国邦药业公司国际市场部一位吴姓经理的话说，“复工并不等于复产”。
中国药业普遍反映，药业供应链虽然在迅速恢复，但情况还相当混乱。
路透社说，虽然有些中国企业说自己的产能已经全部恢复，但是仍然有不少企业表示，他们的产能仅恢复到50%到80%。
他们列举影响企业恢复的问题包括：来自外地的员工回来后要自我隔离两个星期，有些卡车司机还没有回到工作岗位，运输能力不足影响到给工厂运送物资，把产品运送港口或机场。
业内人士指出，药物制造程序很复杂，容易受到干扰。一种原材料不到位整个药品的生产就无法进行。所以，欧洲和美国的疫情蔓延对药物原材料的生产，及其对药物供应链的影响都会成倍扩大。
美国联邦参议员霍利2月27日推出议案，要求确保美国医疗物资供应链的安全。
据中国媒体消息，中国武汉的一些关键行业周三（3月11日）表示可以恢复生产。一天前，中国国家主席习近平刚刚访问过武汉。这是他在武汉发生疫情以来首次前往这个城市视察。
目前，中国许多地方疫情紧急应对级别都已经下调，媒体有关武汉逐步恢复生产的消息也越来越多。湖北省政府在官网上表示，武汉地区公交行业的工人和医疗物资及日常必需品行业的工人将可以恢复工作。
该网站说，其它涉及全国或者全球供应链行业的复工事宜需要相关部门的批准。
武汉是中国的汽车生产基地，其汽车产量占全国产量的10%。另外武汉还有很多生产汽车零部件的企业。
目前中国的制造业正在缓慢地恢复生产。据专家预计，中国企业的完全复工可能要等到4月底。
星期三，日本汽车制造商日产公司表示，准备部分恢复在中国两家工厂的生产。其中一个是在湖北。日产的竞争对手本田公司也表示，本田在武汉的工厂已经有部分工人回来，从周三开始，工厂的生产将逐步恢复。
路透社说，湖北省政府虽然放宽了一些限制，但武汉的交通禁令并没有取消。该省的学校也依然处于关闭状态。
中国国家卫健委周三报告说，新增病例24个，死亡22例。这22人死亡都发生在武汉。
说的越多离连任越远，所以一定得继续说
我们还在按照原来的频率买附近一家常去的中餐馆外卖。
目前没觉得质量下降。
很不希望他们倒掉。
你这有多不动脑子。这得按国情走，美国这样社会就乱了。美国最多就是把城镇划分成若干小区域。小区域自由活动，大区域禁止，小区域里面号召人不要集会，尽量少出门，而不是强制。这基本就是这边能封的极限了。
西雅图都可以在家检测了，德州可以drive through, 你这是带的什么节奏？
你在人口少病例少的地方吧？大城市这么做，就是在作死。
紧急状态和申请经费有关，这几天天天新闻就唠叨这个，让老百姓不要因为紧急状态而慌乱
很多人的主要信息来源是不是就是华人论坛啊？
这是哪位太太啊？哈哈，真厉害。用川粉的话说：“真性情”。
我带什么节奏，我就是在医院一线上班的，每天对着疑似病人。两个州可以测不代表所有的州都可以，起码今天还不可以
习大大没资源，没专有医疗团队？
说川普的表现当然不是和普通老百姓比，是和你一尊比好吗
很怀疑这种快速检测的准确性。谁来科普下？
不可能的，这种出行都是坚壁清野，十里之内，寸草不生。
哪会给你机会用大炮筒对着，你以为去东非看野生动物啊！
这个前两年的吧
前几天看盖茨基金也在搞测试盒
赞干货
你说的没错, CDC 就是个 joke！
所有的机票，刚定的也可以退吗？
