Mayor Bill de Blasio described a dire situation in New York City this morning :

 

" We're about 10 days away now from seeing widespread shortages of ventilators, surgical masks, the things necessary to keep a hospital system running. We have seen next to nothing from the federal government at this point. We have seen  we've made this plea publicly, privately, letters, phone calls, very — very little has arrived. The military has not been mobilized. The Defense Production Act has not been utilized in any way I can see. Not just for New York City, New York state, for a lot of the country, it feels like we're on our own at this point. We're not seeing action from the federal government. April is going to be worse than March regarding the Covid-19 outbreak in New York. If we don’t get more ventilators in the next 10-days people will die ”.

There are at least 29,235 cases of the novel coronavirus in the United States, according to CNN Health’s tally of US cases that are detected and tested in the country through public health systems. So far, 371 people have died in the US. The total includes cases from all 50 states, Washington, DC, and other US territories, as well as all repatriated cases.

 

 

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo today at a press conference expressed his frustration at seeing large groups of people in New York who gather outdoors this weekend :

 

" This is only a mistake. It is a mistake. It is insensitive. It is arrogant. It is self-destructive. It is disrespectful to other people. And it must stop and must stop now. This is not a joke. And I'm not kidding "

Cuomo announced on Friday morning that all non-essential activity workers across the state are expected to stay home in an attempt to combat the spread of coronavirus.

Cuomo also stated that New York has not received funding since the first coronavirus bill despite having  "the greatest need".

"This was a technical error in the way they wrote the bill"

"Hospital beds and medical supplies continue to be a problem for the state. Hospitals have around 53,000 places bed available now, but may need approximately 110,000 ".

Cuomo asks the federal government to nationalize acquisitions of medical supplies because states are competing with each other and is measuring prices.

"New York state has 15 times more cases than other states. The federal government should nationalize the acquisition of supplies to help U.S. states fight the coronavirus pandemic. In a sense, we are saving others States. I'm looking to buy masks. They are competing with California, Illinois, Florida. This is not how it should be to be frankly. Price gouging is a tremendous problem, and it's only getting worse. A mask that normally costs 0.85 cents now costs $ 7 dollars. "

German Chancellor Angela Merkel is going into home quarantine immediately, after a doctor who gave her a vaccination on Friday has tested positive for coronavirus, Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert announced in a press statement on Sunday. Seibert also stated that the chancellor will continuously be tested for coronavirus because a test at this early stage would not be reliable. Merkel will continue her full workload from her quarantine, Seibert added.

Merkel said in a press conference Sunday that the country would toughen measures and "reduce contact with people as much as possible."

Aussies have been behind the 8 ball with their attitude for the past few weeks. Im an electrician and is amazing how many people I have talked to who still do not believe the virus will come here. I the past week the authorities allowed 2700 people to disembark from the cruise liner in Sydney with 150 known cases of different illnesses on board and before the virus tests came back deciding they were a low chance of having the virus. The government has been telling the people not to hoard food but put no form of countermeasures to stop it. Bondi was just a good example of the old Aussie feeling of "she'll be right mate". We now have states closing the borders and NSW having 50% of the corona-virus cases in the country. Our govt is doing a good job and hopefully now they have stopped the knee jerk reaction and are planning ahead more clearly. 

I hope everyone will keep in good health and cheer and remember it can or is happening here as it is everywhere.

Horror and bewilderment in Spain after military teams went to sanitize many retirement homes for the elderly where they unfortunately found many deceased elders.
According to reports from the Ministry of Defense, they located residences in different parts of Spain where the elderly lived with the corpses of people who had died from Covid-19.
The majority of these retirement homes are located in the Community of Madrid. The number of victims found in these aged care centers was very high. In an Monte Hermoso residence in Madrid, 17 elderly people died  and over 70 cases of contagion among other  residents have been recorded. Health sources indicated that after death from coronavirus was detected, the protocol stipulates that no one will touch the body until someone is ready to take responsibility for avoiding infection. They stress also that the funeral homes in Madrid are almost blocked and that the collections of the dead are delayed.

 


Vice President Mike Pence said during Monday's White House press briefing that 313,000 coronavirus tests having been completed with more than 41,000 tests having come back positive.
In the past, Pence noted the testing numbers he provides do not include community hospitals or community labs, but he did not make that disclaimer during the press briefing Monday.
He added all state and hospital labs are now required to report their coronavirus test numbers to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“We also reminded the governors today that all state laboratories, all hospital laboratories, are now required, by law, to report the results of coronavirus tests to the CDC,” Pence said.

The Italian Civil Protection officer Angelo Borrelli has launched an alarm declaring that in Italy the highest COVID-19 positive number could be much higher and why a "feature" of this COVID-19 it is also that of infecting people who, however, remain "asymptomatic" and therefore do not contact the medical facilities they test for positivity to COVID-19 but can count anyone who frequent them. In Italy among the virologists who are studying the behavior of COVID-19 there are those who say that for the very high number of positives and deaths in Italy, among others concentrated in the area of three regions of Italy, Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia Romagna compared to the other 17 Italian regions, COVID-19 in Italy may have changed its characteristics such as that of causing contagion to people who unaware may in turn have infected other people by dating them and all this could constitute a further and very serious contagion characteristic of COVID-19 that can be fought ... ONLY BY STAYING HOME.

 

 

In Italy the police will be able to use drones to monitor citizens' movements in order to contain the coronavirus epidemic. The National Civil Aviation Authority (ENAC) has authorized the use of drones to monitor citizens' movements in municipal areas to ensure the containment of the epidemiological emergency with a letter sent by ENAC to ministries Italians of the Interior, transport and justice, to the Air Force General Staff, to the company that manages the civil air traffic in Italy (ENAV), the National Association of Italian Municipalities and local police posts.

The ENAC letter states that "given the needs expressed by numerous police headquarters," he authorized until April 3 "operations conducted with remotely piloted aircraft systems with aircraft take-off, with operational mass less than 25 kg "for monitoring activities" notwithstanding the registration and identification requirements. "

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo pushed back against comments by President Trump that he could reopen the US economy while keeping an eye on some of the most at-risk populations, including seniors.
“My mother is not expendable. And your mother is not expendable. And our brothers and sisters are not expendable,” Cuomo said. “And we're not going to accept a premise that human life is disposable. And we're not going to put a dollar figure on human life.”
Cuomo said saving lives is most important, but there can be an “intelligent” strategy for getting people back to work.

Between one...flight and another, from Rome for those who love works of art, "virtual tours" and a video to pass the time staying in ... quarantine at home:

 

Vatican City: the Sistine Chapel

 

It is the main chapel of the apostolic palace, as well as one of the most famous cultural and artistic treasures of the Vatican City, inserted in the path of the Vatican Museums. It was built between 1475 and 1481 approximately, at the time of Pope Sixtus IV della Rovere, from which it took its name. It is known all over the world both for being the place where the conclave is held to elect a Pope and other official Pope ceremonies, both to be decorated with one of the most known and celebrated works of art of the western artistic civilization, the frescoes by Michelangelo Buonarroti, which cover the vault (around 1508-1512) and the back wall of the "Last Judgment" above the altar (around 1535-1541).

In Italy,   Pierpaolo Sileri Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Health,  47 years old,  surgeon by profession,  tested positive for COVID-19 on March 13 but after being in serious condition he recovered and in an interview he told his experience:

 

"I was afraid, especially of leaving my son alone.  Now I don't feel flavors and smells.  It is the last gift of the COVID.  Hopefully it will pass.  Even with coffee, it is the same.
e news of the positive buffer came to me on the morning of March 13, the day after in Bergamo a 118 operator died, a peer of mine.  But I was worried more about my family.  I was afraid to leave Giada, my wife.  When the fever it went up and the saturation went down to 89 I thought that dying had really become a real possibility and so I have I thought about my father who died young at 45 and my son Ludovico who is 8 months old, I thought about the injustice that would  he too lived growing up without a father like me. I read about the protocol of the San Matteo Hospital of Pavia (northern Italy)  that from the blood of the healed COVID-19 scientists aim to extract the antibodies that kill the virus and I will go there to donate my blood to help those who need it today ».
