President Donald Trump is expected to announce an executive order insisting on American-made medical supplies and pharmaceuticals in response to the coronavirus outbreak, according to a person familiar with the plan, as the White House begins to come to grips with the severity of the situation.
Word about the planned announcement, from a person who was not authorized to publicly discuss the matter and spoke on condition of anonymity, comes amid tumult Wednesday in the unfolding crisis. Confirmed cases in the United States are topping 1,000, fluctuations in the financial markets are continuing and Washington is straining to respond.
The White House is also considering a host of more aggressive responses to free up additional federal dollars and to address concerns that the administration’s initial response to the pandemic was insufficient.
In one order Trump issued Wednesday, he authorized Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar to take whatever steps are necessary to allow doctors and nurses to use masks made for industrial use while those made specifically for health care are in short supply. Companies have been seeking legal cover for that.
“Those industrials will work for medical,” said House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. “We can just do that for an 18-month period and there’d be millions more available.”
For most people, the new coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia.
The vast majority of people recover from the new virus. According to the World Health Organization, people with mild illness recover in about two weeks, while those with more severe illness may take three weeks to six weeks to recover. In mainland China, where the virus first exploded, more than 80,000 people have been diagnosed and more than 58,000 have so far recovered.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., raised concerns about diversifying the supply chain and reducing the U.S. reliance on imports, including from China, during a private lunch with Trump and GOP senators this week.
Trump appeared to agree with the senator’s outlook, according to a person familiar with the matter who was not authorized to publicly discuss the private session and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Rubio praised the forthcoming announcement.
He called the expected order “a very strong first step toward increasing domestic production by enforcing Buy American requirements for pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, as well as fast-tracking approval” by the Food and Drug Administration of “critical products impacted by the coronavirus outbreak’s strain on the supply chain.”
China is a key supplier of drug active ingredients, the chemical components that make drugs work, and finished medicines for the U.S. market. Those include the active ingredients for antibiotics and pills to treat common chronic conditions such as heart disease.
Many of China’s active ingredients are shipped to India, which makes much of the global supply of generic drugs. India recently restricted all exports of 13 active pharmaceutical ingredients, and finished drugs made from those chemicals, to protect its domestic drug supply.
The restricted drugs are mostly antibiotics, antiviral drugs and a fever reducer, all of which are used for supportive care of patients with coronavirus symptoms, because there is no approved medicine to treat the virus. U.S. regulators have stressed that other medicines are available to treat patients.
Members of Congress and others since last fall have been raising concerns that the U.S. has become much too dependent on medicines made in Asia, as U.S. and European drugmakers increasingly have outsourced much of their manufacturing to Asia, where labor and materials are far cheaper.

Are we in a state of emergency?
President Trump and his administration have been under scrutiny since the coronavirus began to spread to what are now officially pandemic levels.
So his planned speech tonight at 9 pm EST is expected to be highly-watched because of the possibility that Trump will declare a national emergency.

国内最近猛甩锅美国，有的说新冠起源夏威夷传到日本，有的说武汉军运会美国大兵带去的，我家人也转发给我，估计trump也被转发了，所以电视讲话一开始就说了是中国开始的。
👍没对比，没伤害！
老川政府做的不够，CDC很差，老川做的还不错（决定做的很快）。很差谈不上。反应慢是CDC的官僚，能力差，同时整个2月没有在做事实。我估计老川那个时候太信任CDC的头和HHS的头了。等发现测试盒不够，才开始involve commercial lab，同时让pence领头。现在的测试问题，很多其实是各个州自己的lab能力有限，有了测试盒都无法快速测试。所以，目前扩大测试的希望在于labcorp和quest。
为什么说纽约市长很差劲。他到底有没有关心过纽约市测试数字低的问题到底是测试盒不够，还是lab能不足。联邦到底给了纽约州多少测试盒，纽约市到底有没有分到？这些都没搞清楚，就只会把自己无能的事实转移到联邦身上。他不如加州州长。

可以强制隔离 可以动用联邦紧急资金 可以派遣国民警卫队甚至军队 等等等等
绝大多数民众在当前都不管什么股票不股票，他走这条歪道走不通，应当老老实实正视武肺的侵蚀。
小美要加强学习啊
又不是宵禁。。和个人感受没大关系。
那应该宣布
给你的聪明英伟一个表现机会
鼓掌！那么下一次会选共和党。
禁航EU。英帝国算吗？
川普说了，不算。
英国例外
提到了韩国，是不是也禁了？没跟上
没有 他说中国韩国的情况在改善，可能会re-evaluate，考虑提前解除禁令
主党居然很沉默…
你觉得他应该怎样？像武汉一样封起来？
现在最大危险已经是社区传播了，禁航作用不大了。欧洲爆发后该隔离的都自己隔离了，该跑的已经跑了。
不过亡羊补牢，只要重视了，不信美国会象厉害国那样惨。
至于消灭国内已经存在的病毒，更多靠各地方政府了。
2--给小business提供低利息贷款共度难关
3--payroll tax relief
好像不是他做决定是吗？只是propose
可以，需要screening
+1,still not enough.需要对内对外两方面才能有效的让美国人放心
禁也骂不禁也骂，对他作法不满意自己又提不出什么可行方案来，我对老川很满意，继续四年没问题！
因为五毛党的目的就是挑拨离间，让美国乱，
禁航EU，上次是什么时候？哪有那么容易做这个决定，这次估计还得用WHO的pandemic做借口。
他是美国百姓一票票选上去的，你算什么让他退？
确实，也许跟who宣布pandemic有关
haha
关键是这10天他一直在downplay啊，误导了好多美国人。
不是说他想采取激进措施但下不了手。
4. 已经和所有保险公司协商，取消看新冠的copay，防止surprise bill
5. 有慢性病的老人，需要 very very careful，禁止老人院所有不必要的访问。
6. CDC会有guidance，关于关闭学校，关于保持social distance
7. 生病不舒服的人群，需要stay home，因病在家休息隔离的人，国会将会考虑发放经济援助
8. 受影响的人群，可以延迟交税
现在稍微有点智商的，谁还看WHO的宣布啊。
赞思路
难道要像国内一样全国经济停摆抗疫吗？新加坡，日本，韩国的经验表示不需要！
川大统领甩锅欧洲（我们禁了中国，欧洲木有，被他们连累了），
顺手给小弟送上脱欧的政治红利～～
现在禁航，虽然有点晚，但美国地广人稀，即便大城市失守，人们还是能退居到中部地区躲避一段时间，相比欧洲和亚洲的人口密度要低得多。
我记得有个贴的mm说西雅图养老院爆了以后还有人去探访。。。。t大爷您早说了5多好！！
你没看现在一股脑冒出什么人嘛，趁机的，巴不得Trump什么都不做。不过trump推特上少发言吧，话太多了，言多必失。
同感! 逼急了, 英国还有其它英联邦, 都会被当成跳板.
手动点赞!
其他英联邦。。。。 难道印度也算吗？
上次在cvs碰到一对60左右夫妻问sanitizer有没有，说自己是high risk人群。今天买菜👀到一个老奶奶带了口罩独自买菜。觉得非常难受。有人说不care不怕得，但有没有想过别人的尤其是这些老人的感受！
这里提WHO，以后就可以甩锅了
很多人的财务状况会受到影响吧，我听他后面说了这么多钱，觉得很暖心啊
已經ordering hardship loan了
一群憋了四年的希拉粉跟五毛上串下跳唯恐美国不乱，真要这么担心，自个买足吃喝在家关几个月不就得了，早上还在骂川普不禁欧洲，现在禁了又是一通骂，好像🐷党能做到更好似的。
