    Trump Told Governors to Buy Own Virus Supplies, Then Outbid Them

    President Donald Trump’s directive for governors to buy their own medical supplies to fight the coronavirus has run into a big problem -- the federal government.


    Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker told Trump during a video conference on Thursday that his state three times lost out to the federal government on purchases of critical supplies, creating an awkward moment during the made-for-TV event at Federal Emergency Management Agency headquarters in Washington.


    “I’ve got a feeling that if someone has the chance to sell to you and to sell to me, I am going to lose on every one of those,” a sheepish-sounding Baker told Trump, who chuckled at the remark.


    The president replied he still wants governors to seek out their own medical equipment, like protective gear for doctors and nurses as well as respirators, but acknowledged the federal government has greater buying power than any state.

    This is a gross twisting of what’s actually happening.
    As stated before, the President said if you can get supplies faster through normal supply channels, then go ahead and do that.
    It takes longer for them to send a request to the feds, have it go through the logistical crap in government, find a source, and then finally ship and acquire those items.
    Way faster to just call up your normal medical suppliers and purchase directly from them, cutting out the “middle man”, wait time, and bureaucratic BS.
    The government is trying their best to provide, but can’t provide it all at the snap of a finger. SO, if doctors can get it somewhere else faster, GO FOR IT! It’s not like Trump said “You’re on your own”.

    Some HOAX! Dining-in no longer an option at Florida restaurants due to coronavirus
    Dining in is no longer an option at Florida restaurants, a new executive order from Gov. Ron DeSantis says.
    Executive Order 20-71 directs all restaurants and food establishments in Florida to suspend on-premises food and alcohol consumption for customers.
    Restaurants may however still operate their kitchens for the purpose of providing delivery or take-out services.
    The order is effective immediately.

    In the province of New Brunswick, right next to where I live, all non essential retail stores have been ordered closed due to a State of Emergency declared by the Premier/ Governor last night.

    Only grocery stores, gas stations, Provincial liquor/ cannabis stores, hardware stores and pharmacies are allowed open. Copier dealers provide a business to business service and can remain open but their doors must remain locked to public walk in.

    All restaurants, bars, Provincial Parks, Federal Parks and recreational facilities are closed. Take out food service is allowed.

    Intelligence Agencies Repeatedly Warned Trump of a Likely Pandemic. He Ignored Them.
    U.S. intelligence agencies did not mince words. Throughout January and February they repeatedly warned President Donald Trump and other top administration officials about the growing danger of the coronavirus and how it could quickly spread around the world, reports the Washington Post. Starting in January, Trump began receiving reports warning that Chinese authorities appeared to be downplaying the severity of the virus amid information of how covid-19 appeared to be spreading rapidly.


    The reports never predicted when the virus might hit the United States nor did they recommend things the administration should do to prepare but when looked at as a whole, they made it clear that the virus was possibly heading to become a global pandemic. Despite these warnings though, Trump continually played down the severity of the virus and officials struggled to get him to focus on the issue. “Donald Trump may not have been expecting this, but a lot of other people in the government were—they just couldn’t get him to do anything about it,” an official said. “The system was blinking red.” Case in point, when Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar was finally able to get Trump to speak to him about the virus, the president interrupted him to ask about vaping.
