.
Recommend you start reading with COVIR19 1 of 1...


Trump finally changed his tone after being shown statistical models about the spread of the virus from other countries, receiving the Congress demand to act upon the Defense production Act, having probably received a translation of the French President speech, BUT MOSTLY after being rattled by the plunge in the stock market (36% plunge over 5 weeks, already under the levels when he took over in January 2016, and possibly not bottomed yet)
March 16 (T) “New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has to do more”
March 17 (T) “Failing Michigan Governor must work harder and be much more proactive. We are pushing her to get the job done”
March 17 (T) “Federal government is working very well with the governors and State officials. Good things will happen”
March 17 (T) “I have always known this is a real – this is a pandemic. I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic” (Your choice: laugh or cry…)

March 18 Trump announced that 2 military navy hospitals were ready to come, in tip top shape, and to help within a few weeks. But the ship on the East coast is undergoing repairs in Norfolk, for weeks.

March 18 Trump announced that he was using the Defense production Act and the government had ordered 500 millions masks (N95 respirators) due to the shortage announced by every health facility.

March 19 Trump said that the FDA had approved the anti-malaria rug for fighting the virus, as well as another miracle drug.
The FDA commented that both drugs needed first a large pragmatic clinical trial, which would take some time (months).

March 19  NY City: 10,000 corona virus tests made on Thursday, with 2,950 confirmed positive. 
March 19 Florida closed bars and night clubs and closed many beaches
March 20: 70 millions people in the USA are now under stay home orders (California, New York, Illinois i.e. big cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco, NYC and Chicago)
March 20 USA closed the borders for tourists from Canada and Mexico, with approval of both countries
March 20. NY City. 43 people have already died and there is now one death every hour. Around 6,000 people have now been diagnosed with the virus.

March 21. NY City mayor is complaining why is the President waiting to order the army to come and help in NYC? Like done in France.
