What mitigation efforts are the Feds in charge of vs state and local?

The federal can restrict travel.  States cannot.  NYC's hands were tied.  They did not have the right to shut down the airports and shut down the highways.  Any disease monitoring of people traveling within or to the U.S. is all in the jurisdiction of the federal gov't.  The states cannot overstep that jurisdiction.

That's alot of words without an answer.  So let's take the 30,000 number.  How many ventilators do you think they actually need?  More than 30,000 and that's just the remainder?  Less than 30,000?  Exactly 30,000?

What makes you think I have the answer to this question?

What does this even mean?  I don't understand the point you're trying to make.  They need ventilators, estimated at 30,000 at this point.

You seem pretty sure of yourself, so I figured you had given this some thought and done some research.  I guess you are just speaking from emotion and not facts.

From what I read Elon Musk set up a shop to build some medical equipment and has already started sending it out.  So I'd imagine its not that difficult.  the key is getting in touch with the right machinery people and having the space available to set up shop.

Depends on what type of equipment you are talking about.  Hanes expects to be able to produce 500,000 surgical masks a week in a couple of weeks.  But ventilators like GM and Ford are going to try and make, well that will be more difficult.  

I saw that Musk got 1200 ventilators from china, haven't seen anything about him setting up shop to build them, but maybe he did.

Thanks for the clarification.  When I read "Tesla to build ventilators" and "Elon Musk delivers ventilators" I put the two together, not realizing they were separate issues.

In the end, whether Dem or Pub, Fed or State, there are going to be lots of things to learn from  something that comes from left field.  I don't trust pols with what they do see coming, much less the things that they cannot.  Nobody in the world was ready for this. 

And NYC is the land version of the USS Petri Dish.  I am not sure what kinds of efforts would work there short of putting them in jail, which was floated because they would not close the bars.  Everyone is going to have it.  That is why I said take the draconian measures with the at risk folks and provide for them.  Social distancing in NYC is quite impossible.

We won't know the success of social distancing for a while, but people are staying in their apartments.  I went to CVS at midnight last night, and Manhattan was as quiet as I've ever heard.  No one was outside, hardly any traffic etc.  Target is controlling the flow of customers into the store to allow for social distancing to occur while inside the store, and the lines outside have people spread apart at least six feet.  It's very real here, and people are taking it seriously.  There's obviously bozos everywhere, but the hardest part will be preventing another spread after quarantine is over (whenever that is).

Automakers making ventilators is weird when you have a dozen or more organization that make CPAP/BiPAP machines.  I would have thought ResMed would be in a better position to build that type of equipment than GM.

I would assume those companies are already running at 100% capacity and cranking out as many as they possibly can. If this pandemic goes as bad as it possibly could go, then we're not talking about needing a few more. We're talking about needing exponentially more than we currently have.

In what I've read, it doesn't appear that GM, Ford, etc are just going to suddenly get into the respirator business.  They are working with medical equipment companies as a partnership, and giving them whatever assistance they need.  The auto makers would have instant access to a vast network of open space to build things, a ready made work force, contractors on speed dial to immediately install whatever is required for the machinery, etc.  They also mentioned the advanced 3D printers playing a part.

I think of elevators being touched, hand rails and places like Chinatown, where everyone opens their shops.  Food delivery and such will have to be sooooo coordinated to feed people in NY confined to their apts.  Big task

I hear you.  What bothers me are the joggers running on the sidewalks right now hacking their desperate breathes everywhere where people are walking for their necessities

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
