[NoMoreLibs]

[AlfaMan]

feds need to help states to update computer systems.

Sounded like Pres Trump would put the distribution of unemployment checks through the federal level if the states can't handle it.

 

[zookeeper9]

[zookeeper9]

Gvt extending guidelines until April 30 . Recovery by June 1st.

Big announcement by pres on Tuesday night. He's extending the national emergency through April 30th.

 

[briches]

“Important statement coming Tuesday evening”

 

[AlfaMan]

Wondering if national lockdown might be announced Tuesday night. Cases are going crazy still-might be used to mitigate number of cases?

 

[briches]

Alfa - I wondered the same.

 

[joannita]

Holding 10 thou vents in case of emergencies.

 

[AlfaMan]

Holding 10 thou vents in case of emergencies.

If there's 10k ventilators still in SNS-that implies only 5 k or so have been distributed so far, based on announced stock levels. Either that's a really!!! efficient use of vents on hand OR the govt is holding back stock anticipating a literal avalanche of cases coming our way.
