What is going on and has been going on does not appear to be uncoordinated or piecemeal.
And how would you nationalize factories? Government takes over equity ownership?
Because China can clamp down to an extent that we simply won’t. The Chinese were using drones and the military to enforce strict lockdown. To confront this there needs to be a very strong initial reaction.
That simply has not happened here. We are seeing the result and the worst is yet to come for us all.
Cuomo is having second thoughts about the mass quarantine.

The UK was trying that herd immunity approach but reversed course very quickly. I hope they have plenty of ICU beds and ventilators in Sweden. More will die than needed if too many get sick at once and overwhelm their capacity it treat their most critical cases.The people in charge in Sweden have basically not shut down anything. The state epidemiologist is taking so much heat, Sweden is basically the western state taking the fewest quarantine measures despite having a fairly early wide spread outbreak. Everything is basically open, from schools to restaurants and what not. They shut down universities since they can teach online. That is about it, and public gatherings exceeding 500.

The guy in charge could be right or wrong, no matter what, he got to get points for having an extremely strong psych and not just doing what everyone else is doing...
Yeah, ideally you identify the infected and contact trace. We didn't have the tests to pull that off, that needs to change for next timeCuomo is having second thoughts about the mass quarantine.
What on earth are you talking about? Are you implying he wanted the hospitals MORE overwhelmed than they already are?Cuomo is having second thoughts about the mass quarantine.

There came a point where all choices were bad. Yes the young could infect the old at home.Cuomo: Not sure if closing all businesses, keeping everyone home was 'the best public health strategy'
As a state employee, there have been internal emails going around confirming this

An article from Fox News? I... okay.Cuomo: Not sure if closing all businesses, keeping everyone home was 'the best public health strategy'

The headline is dramatic, the quotes in the article aren't misrepresented IMO. I watched the press conference live, it is obvious the economic feedback they are getting is devastating, we're only ~two weeks into the stay at home, and they are considering hybrid strategies. But I wouldn't have posted the article had I not seen something affirming that new guidance is in the works, at least for the state workforce, and the private sector logically follows.An article from Fox News?

He was offering an honest reflection on where the state is and the decisions he'd had to make given imperfect information, while simultaneously expressing empathy that the consequences will obviously be bad for the economy. That's it.
Context is everything. This article is... written from/toward a certain point of view.
I'm starting to fight with my wife at home and we're just approaching two weeks together at home. She and I have differing views. She does not want me going out for anything, not even groceries or essentials. This thing is going to cause a huge and generational psychological toll.
We shall see. (I have to admit, I missed the conference today.)

And given the scenes in Elmhurst/Mount Sinai hospitals and the stats below:
I highly doubt Andrew wants people riding the subways again any time soon.
But I'm not privy to the info you are. Perhaps he will be sending people back to work soon. That would be an... interesting decision... given the state of things (and, more cynically, the political capital he's acquired via his performance to date).
Which side benefited from your WW II production?You make/use a law that say that the factories have to do what you tell them to do. Of course picking up the bill is a given. I imagine the defense production act or whatever it is called is about that.
Being a bit of a WWII junky, it’s quite amazing what these countries could do. And we would see the same here. But a few weeks is just such an extremely short time. 4 months and it would be different. A year and you could transport every corona patient to the moon. But you cannot work around a bottle neck, it’s not magic. Some things takes a little time and they can do everything else in parallel, but some equipment must be in place to make masks and you can’t make that equipment in the blink of an eye.
