New York State Department Of Health: Fill & Download for Free

In Cuomo’s case, he successfully petitioned the Federal government to allow the NY State Department of Health (Wadsworth Labs) and the NYC Department of health to start producing our own test kits.That’s helping, but they’re not industrial facilities that can mass produce kits. We need the Federal government to engage health care firms to do that.So we’re better off than we might have been, but we still need more kits.

Yes. Trump should resign.As usual, he’s lying. NY was significantly faster in responding to the coronavirus pandemic than the Federal government despite having significantly fewer resources to get information about it and being crippled by being given CDC coronavirus tests in the beginning rather than working tests from the WHO, which gave the state false information about how serious the epidemic was in the early days.On February 26, Trump said, “But that’s a little bit like the flu. It’s a little like the regular flu that we have flu shots for. And we’ll essentially have a flu shot for this in a fairly quick manner.”On March 2, Cuomo announced the Wadsworth Center laboratory and the state’s Department of Health would be working with hospitals to expand surge testing capacity to 1,000 tests per day statewide for the novel coronavirus. (Again, because the CDC-provided tests were faulty.)On March 3, Cuomo signed into law a $40 million emergency management authorization for the state’s coronavirus response which will allow for additional staffing, procuring equipment and any other necessary resources.On March 4, the state directed the State University of New York’s and the City University of New York’s study abroad programs in China, Italy, Japan, Iran and South Korea to be suspended effective immediately.On March 7, Governor Cuomo declared a state disaster emergency to deal with the outbreak in New Rochelle. He also declared a state disaster emergency to begin emergency response to contain the spread of the virus. New York State had 89 confirmed cases.On March 9, Trump was still tweeting,On April 1, Trump still hasn’t ordered HHS to take delivery of 2,000 ventilators the DOD has said they could make available, to make use of DOD labs that have available capacity for doing COVID tests, or actually used the Defense Procurement Act to increase our supplies of medical PPE. And we don’t have anywhere near the 27 million coronavirus tests that they promised on March 10 that we’d have by March 31.Trump has repeatedly lied, overpromised, and underdelivered.He should resign.

Hello!Because he’s an inept, incompetent know-nothing embarrassment. Kushner – who hasn’t been elected to anything, who has no experience or competence, and whose only “qualification” is that he’s married to the boss’ daughter – told the American people yesterday, Thursday, that the federal stockpile of medical supplies is not for individual states to "use," even though that is exactly the reason why the stockpile exists. Just listen:JARED KUSHNER: "The notion of the federal stockpile was it's supposed to be our stockpile. It's not supposed to be states stockpiles that they then use." pic.twitter.com/9Q7j8QBCMv— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) April 2, 2020"You have instances where, in cities, they're running out. But the state still has a stockpile, and the notion of the federal stockpile was — it's supposed to be our stockpile. It's not supposed to be state stockpiles that they then use," Kushner told reporters. "So we're encouraging the states to make sure that they're assessing the needs. They're getting the data from their local situations and then trying to fill it with the supplies that we've given them."This contradicts the expressed purpose of the Strategic National Stockpile, which is overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services.The stockpile is "the nation's largest supply of life-saving pharmaceuticals and medical supplies for use in a public health emergency severe enough to cause local supplies to run out. When state, local, tribal and territorial responders request federal assistance to support their response efforts, the stockpile ensures that the right medicines and supplies get to those who need them most during an emergency." https://www.phe.gov/about/sns/Pages/default.aspxIn other words, The federal stockpile is reserved for ALL Americans living in our states, not just federal employees. And if the states don't use the country's stockpile, who does?Furthermore, Trump and his administration's insistence that states purchase their own supplies rather than create a centralized distribution system has led to states getting into bidding wars with other states, according to numerous governors. New York has been forced to pay as much as 15 times the usual price for equipment. Bidding wars are causing New York to pay up to 15 times the normal price for medical equipmentAnd then there was this jaw-dropping revelation from Kushner:Well, this is concerning.Kushner says Trump finally acted on addressing supplies shortages after hearing about them “just this morning” from “friends of his in New York.”Not the governor. Not the hospitals. Friends.This is how Trump runs your country. pic.twitter.com/vlwDR86WWs— DNC War Room (@DNCWarRoom) April 2, 2020That’s right! Forget NY Mayor Bill de Blasio and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo who’ve publicly and repeatedly pleaded for federal help! Kushner said Thursday that the administration only sent New York City equipment following requests from Trump's "friends.""Very early this morning, I got a call from the president," Kushner said. "He told me he was hearing from friends of his in New York that the New York public hospital system was running low on critical supply."Kushner— who looks like an evil penis with a human hair hat and a suit—added that he called up the city's top health official and quickly delivered much-needed N95 masks to the city's hospitals.Now every reasonable American would legitimately wonder why Trump would take advice from friends over the desperate pleas form Governors around the country, right?Have no fear, Nepotism Barbie’s android husband has the answer for you second tweet:"Some governors you speak to or senators, and they don't know what's in their state" -- Jared Kushner says he knows better than state governors and US senators about how many ventilators are in their states pic.twitter.com/26pQltZtI7— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) April 2, 2020This is the same Blunderkind who couldn’t even get a security clearance but Trump’s trusting our entire nation to him. We’re all gonna die, courtesy of a guy who is actually dumber and less qualified than the president…And to top this off, just in. The Trump White House has changed the official stated mission of the Strategic National Stockpile after Trump’s son-in-law lied during Thursday’s nationally televised coronavirus task force briefing. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/04/03/jared-kushner-stands-trump-proceeds-offer-very-trumpian-claim-about-stockpiles/To be continued…
