Full Letter is here ============================================================================================================= Dear Mr. President,
The coronavirus pandemic is now upon us, and data from other countries shows us clearly where we are headed.
Every country affected by this crisis has handled it on a national basis. The United States has not. State and local governments alone simply do not have the capacity or resources to do what is necessary, and we don’t want a patchwork quilt of policies.
There is now only one question your team must answer for you: Can we slow the spread of the disease to a rate that our state health care systems can handle? The answer increasingly looks like no.
But that does not mean we should not try. There are fewer options available at this late date, but the federal government should move to implement them swiftly. There are three clear imperatives we need to address:
Testing Slowing the spread of coronavirus is a function of testing and reducing the density of public gatherings. So first, Mr. President, you must stop the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from overregulating the testing process, and authorize states to certify a wider array of testing labs and methods.
On Friday, you said that your administration had agreed to allow New York State’s public health department to authorize local labs to perform the state’s approved coronavirus test — a good first step. Your administration also approved high-volume automated testing by the Swiss diagnostics maker Roche.
But these moves are insufficient. Because of the high demand for testing kits nationwide, many labs with Roche machines will be unable to obtain enough of the company’s testing kits for weeks or even months. There are other labs that can do high-volume coronavirus tests that do not use Roche kits. But these machines cannot be used without further F.D.A. approvals, of the sort Roche received on Friday.
That means that while New York is conducting thousands of tests a day, we are still below our full testing capacity because many labs still rely on low-volume manual testing.
Mr. Trump, don’t let bureaucracy get in the way of fighting this virus. Break the logjam, let states fully take over testing so they can unleash hundreds of labs tomorrow and bring testing to scale. It is the only way we will have a chance of keeping up with the rapid spread of this contagion.
Closings Second, the closing of schools and businesses has federal implications, even if these are state or local decisions. When one state unilaterally closes businesses, people typically cross state lines to look for open businesses elsewhere. If the purpose is to keep our citizens home and out of crowded spaces, such inconsistency in state policies is counterproductive. There should be a uniform federal standard for when cities and states should shut down commerce and schools, or cancel events.
All of this disruption will have immense financial and economic impact, and federal assistance will be needed to soften the blow. When schools close, localities will need help to provide meal programs to students and child-care programs to parents. Unemployment will skyrocket, as will insurance, health care and education costs.
The federal government must not only make aid available, it must also ensure that its assistance is distributed in clear, uniform ways. No state should be penalized for doing the right thing in trying to protect its residents during this crisis.
Risks to hospitals
Third, you must anticipate that, without immediate action, the imminent failure of hospital systems is all but certain. According to one projection, as many as 214 million people in our country could be infected over the course of the epidemic. Of those, as many as 21 million people could require hospitalization.
This would crush the nation’s medical system. New York State has just 53,470 hospital beds, only 3,186 of which are intensive-care beds. Our country as a whole has fewer than one million staffed hospital beds, fewer proportionately than China, South Korea or Italy.
Ask your experts, how many intensive-care beds do we need for our vulnerable populations, and how many do we have now? The scarcity portends a greater failing and a worse situation than what we are seeing in Italy, where lives are being lost because the country doesn’t have the health care capacity.
States cannot build more hospitals, acquire ventilators or modify facilities quickly enough. At this point, our best hope is to utilize the Army Corps of Engineers to leverage its expertise, equipment and people power to retrofit and equip existing facilities — like military bases or college dormitories — to serve as temporary medical centers. Then we can designate existing hospital beds for the acutely ill.
We believe the use of active duty Army Corps personnel would not violate federal law because this is a national disaster. Doing so still won’t provide enough intensive care beds, but it is our best hope.
In short: Localize testing, federalize shutdowns and task the Army Corps of Engineers to expand hospital capacity.
I make these suggestions not as a Democrat but as one of the nation’s most senior governors and a former cabinet secretary who knows the capacity of the federal government.
We have had disagreements about your actions against New York, which we can pursue at another time. Today, let’s work together as Americans. Time is short.
8 min ago New York reports third coronavirus-related death From CNN's Elizabeth Joseph Another person with underlying health conditions has died in New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo just announced in a press conference. The death of a 79-year-old woman who had “multiple major underlying health issues” brings the state-wide death toll of those who had coronavirus to three, Cuomo said. There are 729 confirmed coronavirus cases across the state, Cuomo said, adding, “New York is the state with the most number of cases.”

这跟他前几天口风很不一样，前几天一直在说努力防止扩散，他今天发布会说了扩散不可避免，40%，60%都会得，现在要紧的是联邦帮忙提高icu床位，减少死亡。 States cannot build more hospitals, acquire ventilators or modify facilities quickly enough.

州长免了学校教学180天的要求，说关不关学校各市自己决定。 市长说不能关，因为低收入孩子吃饭是问题，医疗和公交职工没人看孩子，而且青少年们停校了会去街上乱窜。 教师union 要求关，不然他们下周要组织自发性的call in sick 了。city council 也说要关，但要给需要的家庭提供帮助。

说啥呢？US National Guard全美国才45万，NYNG才1W6（https://www.lohud.com/story/news/local/new-york/2015/12/22/ny-national-guard-primer/77750242/）您从哪变出来的45W？
纽约比洛杉矶情况复杂很多。大家是失忆吗 上周还在骂马拉松呢。其实我就在州长下令封锁的一迈区域附近，儿子幼儿园就在那一迈里。他呼吁了好多次区域内学校停课 但新上任的学区长为了讨好区里一些人明年好tenure就是不停课。即使他下令封区关校后本来学校要至少关到下周末 可是我们幼儿园竟然通过区里什么组织同意周一又要开门了。所以说民主国家，即使州长下令都有人各种理由不执行，所以他才呼吁进入战争状态 估计只有那样才能让大家真的stay at home。
对的 纽约已经做的比其他州好了，上上周就FDA特批自己试剂盒了，所以这两周纽约数字蹭蹭往上，并不只是纽约病例多。这种时候还一直谈政治的 不是无脑 就是无心。
🛋️ 沙发板凳
re............this is the only way to control the spreading of the virus
我们这也是，州里确诊了第一个的时候全州公校和大学就宣布关门了。
Andrew Cuomo to President Trump: Mobilize the Military to Help Fight Coronavirus
就是让军队建医院增加床位吧
踩我的是特么什么深井冰？看不懂人话吗？
没关啊。州长不让关。一定要学校有确诊才能关。
学生害怕risk不去，算 unexcused absence.
昨天两个议员 Positive 了，他因该担心自己了
武汉前期的做法换了个高大上的说法。
所以他写信是什么意思？要总统帮他关学校？
各学区自己决定吧，我们关了。纽约上州深山里没必要关吧。
纽约市学校关了吗？
州长可能不能越权管纽约市
但是总统也不能越权管州吧，Trump要管了估计会被骂死，不过现在也被喊话了，反正他就是个被骂的命
要按他的 180天来。你们学区大概率以后要补课
Westchester 重灾区也就关了两个 town
50个学监找了律师要和Albany 谈
对奥，他们不上课估计更乱，各州各市情况都不一样
没有关。市长等州长发话，州长一早写信给总统发话。大家都不想担这个责任。这两个纽约的罪人。推特上面被骂死了。现在学校正在全面开花但是还是不关也没有任何网上教学。老师们打算明天calling sick，要知道老师大部分也要坐地铁公交上班很多年纪也很大。
明白了，他写信是准备甩锅。。。但是纽约市确实不该他管，如果市长不发话，他估计也没啥办法。不知道每个州的紧急状态是怎么运作的，难道不能关学校？
还有个办法就是发动教师工会，教师不上课了，我估计白思豪拼不过教师工会
关学校是每个学区自己的决定 和州长没有关系
美国军队不能对内的，谁去查查法律，我记得好像是这样。只能动用national guards，包括救灾。national guards我觉得州宣布紧急状态就可以调用了
National guard州自己可以调动
总统怎么可能管local 事务 这个明显甩锅 要关酒吧餐馆 对岸hoboken宵禁可以学学
每个州法律不一样，penn州长想关，还在找法律条款让这么做
你要理解这个论坛不少智商低的，外加心理有问题的，还有职业拿钱的。
这难道不该是这个州长自己需要面对的?别的州长都该下令的下令，就纽约州长金贵，需要别人来替他面对?
在其位需谋其职。不敢担当，趁早把位置让出来
学校本来就是地方事务 联邦层面没权管
他不是下放权力，正常情况下总统是不该管各个州的，美国是联邦制。
除非他宣布战争状态，但他真这么做了，会被骂死的。
zan
我们州是州长宣布了 学区才关的
Westchester county 明确说了， follow State protocol,学校有确诊才能关确诊的学校
那他写信的目的是什么？
我觉得我们州长这次做的还不错。我下次准备给他投票。虽然他是个开赌场的生意人， 但这个疫情面前， 他出决定。
另外纽约把公共活动都取消了吗？这样会减少很多人出门。
就是！这哥们儿就是甩锅！他自己有所有的行政命令权，也有军权（national guard)，要戒严他自己宣部就是！除了动用联邦政府的军事基地，没啥他不能做的。真是不要脸！
他之所以让总统去做是因为这些行动都有负面影响，将来无论怎样都会挨骂。
能死的都死了，剩下就都是zombie了。
赞纽约州长！说的详细，措施到位。如果还不采取行动，纽约肯定是快速产生医疗挤兑的地方。
因为川粉看不惯任何说川大大不好的东西。

关学校确实是他自己的事情，不过他那信里写的那些，州长恐怕做不到，需要总统参与啊。
纽约小孩不去不算absence，华人家长自行选择不去就行吧。
你们斗争一下可以WFH的公司允许员工在家工作我们纽约公司同事轮着上班，我这个部门可以远程
他们都不能WFH，我们外地的就更难要求
什么不用说了，你说点公正话就骂你川粉。纽约州长死活不宣布停课， 老师就不会上网课。小孩子不去不要紧，大孩子的网课还是有帮助的。
斗争一下争取网课， 小朋友选择可以去学校或者在家上
怎么停课？州长不宣布停课，校监就是不肯，亲戚的小孩还在等消息。不停课，老师要么请假要么去学校教课。 大孩子不去上学只有自学。因为是大孩子，化学生物英语AP 家长也不是都能教的。
给学校打电话施压， 高中学生低收入继续提供午餐， 让父母提前一天来领一下， 高中生也可以自己在家了， 上网课就行了。
我公司总部纽约， 纽约都上班， 我们也只能上班。
我不知道你看新闻了吗？ 别的州长宣布停课，都继续提供低收入免费午餐的。
你说的亲戚都做了，学校校长人很好，他说他无法决定，要校监决定。校长也悄悄告诉家长们如果州长不肯关学校，校监是不会关的，学校不关，老师老么请假要么去学校上课，不肯能提供额外网课。
大孩子学校不关，只有自学，家长再有 文化，也不可能什么都会教。
写了这么长，希望能被看明白。
我们这里学区停课还是在每个学校免费供应午饭的，只要孩子去拿就可以
这个makes sense, 医护人员的孩子的child care 需要解决。哪个市不关学校就去找哪个市好了
我们这里上不上课是各个学区决定，只要不超过州里规定的多少天就可以了。所以上周各学区的家长都拼命给学区打电话发email
这个州长就是一个无能的典范。他说的都是在他自己的职权范围内，他自己不坐，等别人做？民主党也太不要脸太无能了！俄亥俄，密西根州长是怎么做的？他不敢做第一第二个，连第三个也不敢？还像一个吃奶的娃娃找妈妈？
就是这样的。现在他说nyc下周初停课，24小时要出方案。市长还在甩锅，什么都没有准备。其实我并不是十分担心孩子毕竟孩子们抵抗力强。纽约老人太多了，社区传染开倒霉的就是老年人，和武汉没有本质区别，还没有武汉老实的年轻人呆家里，现在年轻的纽约人很多就觉得得了也没事完全没有想过传染给老年人怎么办。
看了我们学区昨天开会的直播，说是从洛杉矶学区得到通知说可以特殊时期可以不用州政府批准，所以洛杉矶学区停课了，接着所有南加学区都跟进了
同在想是不是有什么其他的顾虑才迟迟不关学校。。。。。
