Trump: New Guidelines Aim to Lift Some Restrictions
President Donald Trump said he’s prepared to announce new guidelines allowing some states to quickly ease up on social distancing even as business leaders told him they need more coronavirus testing and personal protective equipment before people can safely go back to work. The industry executives cautioned Trump that the return to normalcy will be anything but swift. The new guidelines, expected to be announced Thursday, are aimed at clearing the way for an easing of restrictions in areas with low transmission of the coronavirus, while keeping them in place in harder-hit places. The ultimate decisions will remain with governors. “We’ll be opening some states much sooner than others,” Trump said Wednesday. But in a round of calls with business leaders earlier in the day, Trump was warned that a dramatic increasing in testing and wider availability of protective equipment will be necessary for the safe restoration of their operations. The new guidelines come as the federal government envisions a gradual recovery from the virus, in which disruptive mitigation measures may be needed in some places at least until a vaccine is available — a milestone unlikely to be reached until next year. Trump said at his daily briefing that data indicates the U.S. is “past the peak” of the COVID-19 epidemic, clearing the way for his plans to roll out guidelines to begin to “reopen” the country. He called the latest data “encouraging,” saying the numbers have “put us in a very strong position to finalize guidelines for states on reopening the country.” Dr. Deborah Birx, White House coronavirus response coordinator, speaks about the coronavirus in the Rose Garden of the White House, April 15, 2020, in Washington.Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus task force coordinator, added that data from across the country showed the nation “improving” but that Americans had to recommit to social distancing to keep up the positive momentum. She said nine states have fewer than 1,000 cases and just a few dozen new cases per day. She said those would likely be the first to see a lifting in social distancing restrictions at the direction of their governors under the guidelines set to be released Thursday. Birx said the White House was particularly concerned about Rhode Island, noting it is now seeing a surge in cases from the Boston metro area after seeing a spike several weeks ago from cases from New York. Trump consulted dozens of high-profile CEOs, union officials and other executives via conference calls Wednesday. He received a mixed message from the industry leaders. They, too, said they want to get the economy going but had worries about how to safely do so. In a tweet midway through Trump’s round of conference calls with the executives, the president said the participants were “all-in on getting America back to work, and soon.” But participants in a morning call that included dozens of leading American companies raised concerns about the testing issue, according to one participant who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the private discussion. Another person who participated in Wednesday’s calls said it was stressed to Trump that expansion of testing and contact tracing was crucial, as well as guidelines for best practices on reopening businesses in phases or in one fell swoop. The participant said those on the call noted to the administration that there was about to be a massive rush on personal protective equipment. Many businesses that are now shuttered will need the protective equipment to keep their employees and customers safe. Trump was told “the economy will look very different and operations will look very different,” one participant said.

During a Fox News Channel interview ahead of the calls, he credited the president with gathering some of the “best of the best” to help shape his approach on reopening the economy. Still, Cuban did not embrace Trump’s push to reopen parts of the economy May 1. “This is such a moving target that I think the biggest mistake we can make is rush to a decision,” said Cuban, who previously had been critical of Trump’s response to the pandemic. “But I’m going to help him in every way I can, whatever he needs me to do.” The panel, which Trump dubbed the new Great American Economic Revival Industry Groups, also could help give Trump a measure of cover. If cases surge once restrictions are lifted, as many experts have warned, Trump will be able to tell the public he didn’t act alone and the nation’s top minds — from manufacturing to defense to technology — helped shape the plan. Rich Nolan, president and CEO of the National Mining Association, who participated in one of the calls with Trump, said there was also discussion about tax relief as well as “making sure that people are optimistic about the economy and they feel safe coming back to work.” “I think you’ll see steps to reopen the country at different rates in different states in the not too distant future,” Nolan said. The launch of the council was not without hiccups.

It was “just announced.” Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said Trump has appointed some “smart people” to his task force who could offer state leaders helpful guidelines as they negotiate the way forward. “There are certain roles that only the federal government can play and should play, but I think the governors are going to make their own decisions within those recommended guidelines,” Hogan said.

Reopening Could Require Thousands More Public Health Workers
Before stay-at-home orders are lifted, the nation’s public health agencies want to be ready to douse any new sparks of coronavirus infection — a task they say could require tens of thousands more investigators to call people who test positive, track down their contacts and get them into quarantine.Without the extra help, officials insist, states cannot possibly be ready to resume normal everyday activities, and some agencies are so desperate they are considering recruiting librarians and Peace Corps volunteers to join the effort.”We are trying to build these teams and processes in the midst of a crisis,” said Sharon Bogan, a public health spokeswoman for Seattle and King County, which are seeking at least 20 more investigators.As federal officials weigh how and when to reopen the country, experts worry that the United States does not have enough public health workers to suppress another outbreak, especially those qualified to do contact tracing, the critically important search for people who may have been exposed to the virus.While the exact number of workers needed is a subject of debate, a top federal health official this week acknowledged the mandate to find many more.”Everybody agrees that our public health capacity at the local and state level is not ready to take this on at a very large scale without reinforcements,” said Dr. Anne Schuchat of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who oversees the agency’s coronavirus response work.The work could require as many as 300,000 public health workers — a daunting number given that the combined federal, state, and local public health workforce has been shrinking and is now probably less than 280,000, according to some estimates.To address the shortage of help, governments are weighing whether to enlist people with little to no experience in public health, including the Peace Corps volunteers, furloughed social workers and public health students. San Francisco is training librarians, medical students and people who work for the city attorney’s office.The extra workers would help conduct testing, isolate sick cases and trace everyone those sick people had contact with.It’s crucial that such a system be in place before government officials ease social-distancing guidelines, reopen schools or lift stay-at-home orders, said Dr. Tom Frieden, a former CDC director.”If we have explosive spread when we reopen, we’ll have to close again. That will be very damaging, not just economically but from a health standpoint,” Frieden said.The U.S. government has funneled about $800 million to states for coronavirus response work that can include contact tracing. On top of hundreds of staff sent to states to help with coronavirus work, the CDC has already assembled “community protection teams” of six to 12 people each to do contact tracing and investigate tools that could help with it. Some have already been deployed to states where spread of the virus has been relatively low.Tiny Rhode Island has nearly 100 people “focused on nothing but contact tracing,” reaching out to hundreds of contacts of infected people each day, Gov. Gina Raimondo told reporters. She has urged all residents to take a minute each evening to write down who they physically encountered that day and where those encounters took place.”If I’m going out to the store, I’ll put the date, what store I went to, and then the time I was there,” said Drew Grande, 40, of Cranston, Rhode Island. He started a contacts diary on a note-taking app on his phone after he heard the governor’s request.Contact tracing has changed over the last few months in the U.S. When the first handful of infections were being identified, teams of 20 or more might be assigned to each confirmed case. Investigations would often start with a staffer or two doing an in-person interview at a hospital bedside. Disease trackers might spend hours asking a sick person and that person’s relatives who they had been in contact with since symptoms surfaced.In-person interviews are often better, said Isaac Ghinai, a CDC disease tracker assigned to Chicago to work with that city’s health department.”There’s a value to looking someone in the eye. You can build a relationship face to face that you can’t always do by phone,” he said. Some people are comfortable sharing personal details over the phone but others “require more cajoling.”With hundreds of new cases emerging each day in Chicago, that kind of attention to individual infections has largely stopped. Instead, the priority is large groups of people who are particularly vulnerable, like those at nursing homes or homeless shelters. Many new confirmed cases are not being investigated, and when they are, the interviews may be done by only two or three people, and over the phone, Ghinai said.Could there be a digital solution? Apple and Google are teaming up on a contact-tracing app, and other efforts use Bluetooth to gather data from phones that came close to an infected person. Seattle scientist Trevor Bedford has developed a digital interview that public health departments can use if they don’t have enough people trained in contact tracing.Whatever the solution, it will take a while.People have to be tested and diagnosed before contact tracing kicks into gear, and testing remains limited in many parts of the country. This week, the Association of American Medical Colleges sent a letter to the White House Coronavirus Task Force saying that testing materials and machines remain in short supply.President Donald Trump has floated the idea of easing at least some restrictions as early as May 1.Some observers believe restrictions could be eased first in places where the spread is low, if rigorous testing and contact tracing could prevent a sudden explosion in infections.But Schuchat warned that “there is no way the entire country could relax mitigation on May 1 and the country not experience a major resurgence.”

Дешева нафта: як зміниться політика мокшандії щодо України
Ціна на нафту впала. Ображений карлик втрачає гроші і змушений іти на зменшення видобутку нафти. Ніхто не знає, якими будуть наслідки епідемії коронавірусу у росії.
Чи зміниться в таких умовах політика пукіна щодо України і що буде з Кримом і Донбасом?

У Львові розвозять великодні кошики колишнім бійцям із інвалідністю та родинам загиблих
У львівському будинку офіцерів військові капелани Української греко-католицької церкви та Православної церкви України освятили великодні кошики для учасників Операції об’єднаних сил (ООС) та родин загиблих Героїв війни на Донбасі. Окрім традиційних паски, ковбаси, масла, хрону, солі поклали маски і антисептик.
Великодні кошики розвозять до 19 учасників бойових дій на Донбасі, які отримали інвалідність і половина з них пересувається у візках, а також до понад 30 родин загиблих бійців.
«Світ зіштовхнувся з дуже небезпечним, підступним ворогом – короновірусною інфекцією, тому дуже ретельно ставимося до своїх дій і вчинків і ми обмежили зустрічі на Великдень візитами до хлопців, які отримали важкі поранення під час боїв у ході російсько-української війни. А також відвідаємо батьків загиблих бійців. Ми пам’ятаємо про них і хочемо, щоб вони це знали», – каже начальник будинку офіцерів у Львові, полковник Віталій Провозін.
Освячення великодніх кошиків відбулося з дотриманням заходів карантину. Обрали зал музею АТО, де експонується виставка «Блок-пост пам’яті». Цю благодійну акцію організував військовий капелан ПЦУ, отець Андрій Дуда, але він не дожив до дня, коли міг вручити подарунки бійцям і батькам загиблих. 44-річний капелан помер 11 квітня 2020 року.
«Отець-капелан Андрій Дуда був нашим джерелом, який нас усіх збирав. Він любив, щоб всі були разом, не робив різниці. Це допомога хлопцям і батькам воїнів, які десь, можливо, думають, що їм мало приділяємо уваги. Під час епідемії коронавірусу, коли всі вдома і Церква наголошує сидіти, можливо, батьки військових не можуть вийти і це їм допомога і наша підтримка», – говорить отець Андрій Феденьків.
Великодні кошики розвозять учасникам бойових дій у військовий госпіталь, по їхніх домівках.

Coronavirus Could Narrow Biden’s Choices for Vice President
For Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic Party nominee for president, selecting a running mate during the coronavirus pandemic has taken on even greater importance. Biden had promised to name a female vice presidential nominee to run with him against President Donald Trump in the November presidential election – leading to speculation he might pick a woman senator. But as VOA’s Brian Padden reports, experience such as a governor may possess may now matter more than political appeal.

Trump Threatens to Force Congress to Adjourn Over Stalled Nominees
U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening to adjourn Congress because lawmakers have not approved his candidates for senior posts in his administration, including his nominee to run the independent agency overseeing the Voice of America. “I have very strong power,” Trump declared Wednesday, referencing language in the second article of the U.S. Constitution that allows a president “on extraordinary occasions” to adjourn either or both chambers of Congress. “The Senate should either fulfill its duty and vote on my nominees or it should formally adjourn so I can make recess appointments,” Trump said. “We have a tremendous number of people that have to come into government. And now more so than ever before because of the virus and the problem.” The Constitution requires nominees to a number of senior administration posts to be confirmed by a majority vote in the Senate. However, on occasions when Congress is not in session, the president may make a “recess appointment,” which expires if the candidate has not been confirmed by the end of the next full session. No president has ever exercised the specific authority to dissolve Congress in Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution. “Perhaps it’s never been done before, nobody’s even sure if it has,” Trump said during a Rose Garden briefing on the coronavirus pandemic. “But we’re going to do it. We need these people here. We need people for this crisis, and we don’t want to play any more political games.” FILE – USAGM CEO nominee Michael Pack at his confirmation hearing, Sept. 19, 2019.Documentary filmmaker Michael Pack, whom Trump has selected to run the U.S. Agency for Global Media, is one of 15 key nominees awaiting confirmation by the Senate. Trump cited Pack by name (but erroneously identified the body he would head as USAGM’s predecessor agency, the Broadcasting Board of Governors). The president also noted his nominees for director of national intelligence, two members of the Federal Reserve Board and the undersecretary of agriculture responsible for administering food security programs as among those yet to be confirmed. Trump blamed the delay on Democrats, accusing the opposition party of “a concerted effort to make life difficult.” “The current practice of leaving town while conducting phony pro-forma sessions is a dereliction of duty that the American people cannot afford during this crisis,” the president said. “What they do, it’s a scam and everybody knows it.” Pack’s nomination has “been stuck in committee for two years, preventing us from managing the Voice of America — very important,” the president said. “And if you heard what’s coming out of the Voice of America, it’s disgusting. The things they say are disgusting toward our country. And Michael Pack would get in and do a great job, but he’s been waiting for two years — can’t get him approved.” VOA respondsVOA management, in a response Wednesday evening, rejected Trump’s criticism. “For more than 75 years VOA has followed its mission of telling America’s story overseas and of bringing objective, fact-based information to places around the world that have no other access to it. As we have long said, we export the First Amendment,” said VOA Director Amanda Bennett in a prepared statement. FILE – VOA contributor Greta Van Susteren interviews President Donald Trump in Singapore, Aug 12, 2018. (White House photo by Shealah Craighead)“I believe in that mission. And, judging from the way our audiences are surging to us seeking information they can rely on in this coronavirus crisis, the world believes in our mission. It’s hard work, and it’s important work, perhaps more than ever before.” In a subsequent email to VOA’s employees, Bennett added: “We have a lot of work to do. It’s hard work and it’s important work. Let’s not get distracted from the job in front of us.” Bennett was appointed to her position in the previous administration of Barack Obama and has been in the post for four years — a relatively long tenure for a VOA director. The veteran journalist and Pulitzer Prize recipient is the agency’s 29th director in 75 years. The White House launched an attack on VOA last week, which The New York Times termed “a bizarre broadside.” China coverage at issueTrump’s social media director, Dan Scavino Jr., said American taxpayers were paying for China’s “very own propaganda, via the U.S. Government funded Voice of America.” As an example, he cited a posting on VOA’s Twitter account of an Associated Press video. The video showed a light show in Wuhan marking last week’s reopening of the city where COVID-19 was first detected. Hours later, the White House, in its digital “1600 Daily,” accused VOA of creating graphics “with Communist government statistics to compare China’s coronavirus death toll to America’s.” In fact, VOA uses a widely respected tally by Johns Hopkins University to track coronavirus cases and deaths around the world. “V.O.A. too often speaks for America’s adversaries — not its citizens,” the White House post read. The New York Times remarked that “the charges hurled at the 75-year-old broadcaster seemed so overheated that some readers worried that hackers had infiltrated the White House’s networks.” Bennett responded to last week’s criticism with a prepared statement noting that VOA is “thoroughly covering China’s disinformation and misinformation in English and Mandarin and at the same time reporting factually.” She added that VOA “has thoroughly debunked much of the information coming from the Chinese government and government-controlled media.” Pack, if confirmed, would take over from Grant Turner, who is serving as the USAGM CEO on an interim basis, following the resignation of John Lansing, who was an Obama appointee. Lansing was selected last September by the corporate board of National Public Radio to become NPR’s CEO.

Уряд прирівняв «паспорт у смартфоні» до паперового документа
Уряд України схвалив постанову про електронні паспорти в мобільному додатку «Дія», прирівнявши їх до паперових документів, повідомив у месенджері Telegram віцепрем’єр, міністр цифрової трансформації Михайло Федоров.
«Відтепер паспорти у смартфоні офіційно є цифровими аналогами паперових документів», – твердить урядовець.
Федоров додав, що зараз понад 17 тисяч українців тестують електронні паспорти, а вже наступного тижня вони будуть доступні кожному користувачеві в мобільному застосунку «Дія».
Паспорт у смартфоні, за словами Федорова, дозволить не носити з собою ID-картки та витяги з неї. Ті громадяни, які не мають ID-картки, можуть внести в застосунок оцифрований закордонний біометричний паспорт, який так само посвідчує особу. Він надає такі самі права й можливості, як і паперовий документ, що діє всередині країни.
Федоров зауважив, що українців із закордонними біометричними паспортами значно більше, ніж власників ID-карток. Тобто електронним паспортом зможуть користуватися більше громадян.
Віцепрем’єр нагадав, що за умов карантину це стає особливо актуальним, адже е-паспорти можна буде використовувати для посвідчення особи, якщо зупинить поліція. Також вони допоможуть на пошті під час отримання посилок і листів, у магазинах при купівлі алкоголю чи тютюну для підтвердження повноліття та в інших ситуаціях.
Після завершення карантину, додав Федоров, також можна буде користуватися е-паспортами під час поїздок залізничним або повітряним транспортом; у медичних закладах та банківських установах; під час отримання адміністративних послуг.

Capitol Hill Spars Over Trump WHO Funding Cut
Congressional Democrats condemned U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement he would halt funding to the World Health Organization (WHO) based on his belief the international organization failed to hold China accountable for the coronavirus crisis.
“This decision is dangerous, illegal and will be swiftly challenged,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a statement Wednesday.
Pelosi and other Democrats have warned that defunding the United Nations agency responsible for international public health will cripple the international coordination necessary to combat the global pandemic.
Senator Patrick Leahy, the Vice Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, likened the move to “cutting off ammunition as the enemy closes in.” Leahy said the president’s criticism of WHO was an effort to distract from his own decision-making process as the virus spread across the world.
Trump charged that WHO was slow in recognizing the gravity of the pandemic and “pushed China’s misinformation” about the virus.FILE – Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy waves as he arrives at the Capitol in Washington, Jan. 30, 2020.“Even after restricting flights from China which the President likes to brag about after praising China’s response, nearly half a million people entered the United States from China and the virus was also coming here from Europe and elsewhere,” Leahy said in a statement Tuesday. “Not wanting to take responsibility as the deaths continue to mount, he blames others.”
In a letter to the White House Tuesday night, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee detailed five instances, with the latest occurring on March 13th, in which President Trump praised China or Chinese President Xi for efforts to combat the coronavirus and share that information with the United States.
Trump said his administration would halt funding while conducting a 60 to 90 -day review of the WHO, redirecting those funds to other groups and countries.
“American taxpayers provide between 400 and 500 million dollars per year to the WHO, in contrast China contributes roughly $40 million a year and even less. As the organization’s leading sponsor, the United States has a duty to insist on full accountability,” Trump said Tuesday.FILE – President Donald Trump speaks about the coronavirus in the James Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House, April 13, 2020.The United States is the leading funder of the WHO, with $893 million in pledges in the two-year cycle from 2018 to 2019. Part of that funding is made up of assessments that are similar to membership fees, based on the size and wealth of member countries. The rest of the funding is allocated to specific programs. It’s not immediately clear how much control the U.S. Congress has over that funding.
Congressional Republicans have stepped up criticism of the WHO in recent days, arguing the organization helped the Chinese Communist Party cover up information concerning the threat posed by the coronavirus.
In an April 14 letter to WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, a group of seven Republican senators requested documents from WHO leadership on all of the data the agency had requested and received from China relating to the coronavirus.
Florida Senator Rick Scott – one of the signers of the letter – has called for a congressional investigation into the role China and the WHO played in informing the world about the threat of the coronavirus. FILE – Republican Senator Rick Scott waits for an elevator on Capitol Hill in Washington, Feb. 5, 2020.“When it comes to Coronavirus, the WHO failed. They need to be held accountable for their role in promoting misinformation and helping Communist China cover up a global pandemic,” Scott said in the March 31 statement. “We know Communist China is lying about how many cases and deaths they have, what they knew and when they knew it – and the WHO never bothered to investigate further. Their inaction cost lives. “
Trump’s Hill ally, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, praised the president’s decision in a tweet Wednesday, writing “The current WHO leadership has proven to be incompetent and shown overwhelming evidence of China bias. Cutting off funding to the WHO at this time is the right move.”
Democrats acknowledged the WHO has problems but have argued reforms should be sought instead of a stoppage of funding at a critical time.
“Structural changes are needed at the World Health Organization to prevent it from being exploited by China and other countries for misinformation, but the way to do that is through engagement based on American leadership,” House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said.

Senator Warren Endorses Democratic Presidential Hopeful Biden
U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren endorsed Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden on Wednesday, declaring the former vice president is a proven leader who is best able to move the country forward.”Empathy matters. And, in this moment of crisis, it’s more important than ever that the next president restores Americans’ faith in good, effective government — and I’ve seen Joe Biden help our nation rebuild,” Warren said in a video posted on Twitter.In this moment of crisis, it’s more important than ever that the next president restores Americans’ faith in good, effective government—and I’ve seen Joe Biden help our nation rebuild.

In March, Biden announced his support for the repeal of parts of a law that made it harder to declare bankruptcy. Biden and Warren clashed over the issue more than 15 years ago when then-Senator Biden supported the proposal and Warren opposed it as a bankruptcy expert and professor at Harvard University.”Among all the other candidates I competed with in the Democratic primary, there’s no one who I’ve agreed with 100% of the time over the years,” Warren said. “Joe Biden was there at the very moment I became a senator — he swore me in. And when he did, he said, ‘You gave me hell! And you’re gonna do a great job.'”

US Military Sees No Quick Exit From ‘New World’ of Coronavirus
The U.S. military is bracing for a months-long struggle against the coronavirus, looking for novel ways to maintain a defensive crouch that sustains troops’ health without breaking their morale — while still protecting the nation.Unlike talk in the Trump administration of possibly reopening the country as early as May, military leaders are suggesting that this summer may be the best-case scenario of tiptoeing toward a return to normal activities. Even that is uncertain, and for now the focus is on adjusting as the pandemic’s threat evolves.”We are going to need to change and adapt, because even over the coming months the virus isn’t going to go away. We’re going to have to be able to operate in a COVID environment,” Deputy Defense Secretary David Norquist said recently, referring to the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.Officials have frozen most forces in place overseas, stopped troops and their families from moving to new assignments, and cut back access to the Pentagon. The military services have halted or restricted recruit training, canceled major exercises, and isolated troops in the most sensitive units. The new Space Force has delayed a satellite launch, and the Navy this week postponed the return of the USS Harry S. Truman, keeping the aircraft carrier at sea to shield its crew from virus exposure at home.These steps to protect the force have parallels in civilian society, but a far-flung military can’t function by staying at home.”This will be a new way of doing business that we have to focus in on,” says Air Force Gen. John Hyten, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “We’re adjusting to that new world as we speak today.”The notion of “normal” in the military may never be the same.”We’ve all deployed and fought enemies abroad, however, today’s enemy is here in our communities,” said Lt. Gen. Brad Webb, commander of the Air Force’s training and education command. “We don’t know what ‘new normal’ will look like until we get to the other side.”Defense Secretary Mark Esper testifies to the Senate Armed Services Committee about the budget, March 4, 2020, on Capitol Hill in Washington.Defense Secretary Mark Esper has been consistent in saying it will take time to determine when to begin lifting restrictions on the military, and he has faced little public pressure — from military families or the White House — to rush things. In civilian society, there is an open split between those like President Donald Trump who want the country reopened soon to mitigate economic damage and those, including many state governors, who fear reopening prematurely will undermine progress against the virus.Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the the pandemic has spread so far and wide, potentially creating instability in some countries, that the U.S. military cannot return to business as usual.”We have got to take a hard look at how we as a military, we as a Department of Defense, conduct operations in the future,” he said.In a further sign of uncertainty, Esper said Tuesday that he will extend a “stop movement” order halting what are called permanent change-of-station moves by troops and their families. He did not say how long he will extend the order, aimed at protecting troops and originally set to expire May 11. If it continues into the summer, military members with children could face serious hardship, since they need time to settle and enroll their children in new schools.Coronavirus has been less deadly in the military than in the rest of American society, but the number of confirmed cases is still rising. As of Tuesday the total exceeded 2,600, up from 1,521 a week earlier. Two troops have died of the disease — a National Guard member in March and a Navy sailor on Monday.Even after the number of the military’s coronavirus cases crests, a degree of uncertainty about restoring normalcy will linger. The Navy’s top doctor, Rear Adm. Bruce Gillingham, says the virus wields a “secret power” that the military must take into account as it adjusts in the weeks and months ahead.”What we’ve learned, certainly in the Navy with regard to COVID-19, (is) that stealth, in the form of asymptomatic transmission, is this adversary’s secret power,” he told reporters. “And so we recognize that despite really our best efforts, we’re going to have to learn how to operate with the virus.”Webb, the Air Force training commander, said his service is doing about 99% of its recruiting online rather than with traditional in-person pitches. And while the way ahead isn’t clear, he said, “I think we have the opportunity now to never go back to old ways.”For the Army, a major priority is keeping combat brigades healthy but also ready for war. Prior to the coronavirus crisis, more than half of the brigades were at high readiness levels, but in the past month training has significantly slowed down.”We’re in good shape but you’ve got to be able to turn it back on,” said Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy. He says that increased coronavirus testing capabilities will allow the Army to test units and then send them out for large battalion and company-sized exercises where they can remain in a bubble.”We’re going to have to do that, and that’s where you’re going to have to manage the risk until there’s a vaccine,” he said. “We’re preparing ourselves to do just that.”Even as they take precautions, defense officials are eager to bat down any idea that they are so focused on protecting troops’ health that the force has been weakened or is unable to fight if needed.”I don’t want anyone out there in the world to think that somehow the U.S. military’s readiness is significantly degraded. It is not,” Milley said last week.

Зеленский готовит разведение несмотря на постоянные обстрелы?!
«Рад, что разведение сил помогло уменьшить обстрелы. Мы видим результат». Президент Владимир Зеленский во время поездки на участок разведения «Петровское» 11 апреля заявил, что готовит новые участки разведения сил и средств на Донбассе.
В то же время и отчеты штаба ООС, и миссии ОБСЕ говорят об обратном – количество обстрелов и смертей бойцов ВСУ после разведения только выросло!!!
Зачем Зеленский нагрянул на фронт и игнорирует обстрелы группировок «ЛДНР»? Зачем отвод украинских войск россии? И где и когда может состояться новое разведение?

Місце проведення «Євробачення» прийме хворих на COVID-19
Концертний зал у Нідерландах, який мав у 2020 році приймати пісенний конкурс «Євробачення» замість цього з п’ятниці, 17 квітня, розкриє свої двері перед пацієнтами з коронавірусною інфекцією.
Ahoy Arena в Роттердамі тепер заповнена 88 лікарняними ліжками, щоб полегшити тягар для стаціонарних лікарень. Для пацієнтів, хворих на COVID-19, які потребують лікування, але не госпіталізації, виділений спеціальний зал.
«Деякі люди не в змозі вижити вдома, і про них потрібно дбати так, як вирішили їхні лікарі. Незабаром ми зможемо їх прийняти тут», – сказала директорка служби охорони здоров’я регіону Роттердам Саскія Баас.
Нідерланди є однією з небагатьох країн Європи, яка поки не запровадила повного карантину для стримування пандемії коронавірусної інфекції.
За останніми підрахунками, опублікованими 14 квітня, в Нідерландах зареєстровано 27 тисяч 279 інфікованих, померли 2 тисячі 945 людей.

Obama Endorses Biden, Says ‘Country’s Future Hangs on This Election’
Former U.S. President Barack Obama endorsed his former second in command, Joe Biden, for president Tuesday, calling Biden a clear choice to replace President Donald Trump in November’s national election. “Our country’s future hangs on this election,” Obama said. He added that it would not be easy to defeat Trump, who won an upset victory in 2016 over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Obama urged Americans to “keep believing in the possibilities of a better world” by supporting Biden’s campaign. Obama praised the courage and skills of health care workers treating coronavirus victims. But he said national leadership in fighting the ravages of the disease was missing in Trump’s White House. “If there’s one thing we’ve learned as a country from moments of great crisis, it’s that the spirit of looking out for one another can’t be restricted to our homes, or our workplaces, or our neighborhoods, or our houses of worship. It also has to be reflected in our national government,” Obama said in a nearly 12-minute video. “The kind of leadership that’s guided by knowledge and experience, honesty and humility, empathy and grace,” he continued. “That kind of leadership doesn’t just belong in our state capitols and mayors’ offices. It belongs in the White House. And that’s why I’m so proud to endorse Joe Biden for president of the United States.” Obama said, “Choosing Joe to be my vice president was one of the best decisions I ever made. And he became a close friend. I believe Joe has all the qualities we need in a president right now. “Joe was there when we rebuilt from the Great Recession (in 2008 and 2009) and rescued the American auto industry,” Obama recalled. “He was the one asking what every policy would do for the middle class. “Joe gets stuff done,” Obama said, pointing to Biden’s help combating the H1N1 virus and preventing the Ebola epidemic from becoming a pandemic. FILE – In this combination of photos, former Vice President Joe Biden speaks in Wilmington, Delaware, March 12, 2020, left, and President Donald Trump is seen at the White House in Washington, April 5, 2020.That Obama would endorse Biden is not on its face surprising. But the early pledge of support from Obama marks a turning point in the former president’s political activity against Trump. While Trump during his presidency has frequently assailed Obama’s actions and sought to overhaul his trade, environmental and health care programs, Obama has largely avoided public rejoinders. Obama consulted privately with several of the two dozen or more Democratic candidates who sought the 2020 party nomination to run against Trump. But Obama endorsed no one during the months-long campaign that started in mid-2019, opting to let voters and the give-and-take of numerous spirited debates among the candidates dictate the outcome. Obama and Biden have reportedly had several conversations in the past couple of weeks. Biden told donors at a virtual fundraiser earlier this month that he had asked the former president for advice on choosing a running mate, whom he has said will be a woman. “So, I called President Obama, not as to who but how soon you have to start,” the former vice president said. The support of Obama, who polls show remains very popular among Democrats, could help Biden unite fractious Democrats after the long party nomination process.Biden’s last major challenger, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, suspended his campaign last week after concluding that Biden had amassed an insurmountable lead in pledged delegates to the party’s national presidential nominating convention in August. On Monday, Sanders appeared on Biden’s webcast and wholeheartedly endorsed him. “We’ve got to make Trump a one-term president, and we need you in the White House,” Sanders told Biden. “I will do all that I can to see that that happens, Joe.” Biden was vice president from 2009 to early 2017 during Obama’s presidency. He often played a key role in advancing Obama’s policy goals, key among them the 2010 passage of a national health care plan that gave millions of Americans without health insurance a chance to buy coverage on a government website. The health plan, popularly known as Obamacare, was approved with no legislative support from opposition Republicans but has survived legal attacks and Trump’s attempts to repeal or undermine it. Even with Obamacare, however, millions of U.S. citizens still have no health insurance.Brad Parscale, Trump’s reelection campaign manager, belittled Obama’s Biden endorsement, saying the former president “spent much of the last five years urging Joe Biden not to run for president out of fear that he would embarrass himself,” and now “has no other choice but to support him.”“Obama was right in the first place: Biden is a bad candidate who will embarrass himself and his party,” Parscale said in a statement. “President Trump will destroy him.”

Зеленський сліпо вірить зраднику єрмаку та вперто ігнорує реальність — Кулик про візит зе-президента на фронт
“Попередній місяць у нас був рекордним, в негативному сенсі, по кількості втрат: 12 загиблих і 74 поранених!!!
Обстрілів було майже три сотні. Це було навіть більше ніж попередні місяці… Мир не наближається, обстрілів менше не стало, боїв менше не стало, втрат менше не стало”, — розповів Роман Кулик, офіцер резерву ЗСУ.
У суботу, 11 квітня зе-презиент відвідав Петрівське і заявив, що після розведення поменшало обстрілів

Степанов про початок аудиту системи охорони здоров’я: перші сигнали – тривожні
Міністр охорони здоров’я України Максим Степанов заявляє, що перші сигнали аудиту медичної галузі країни є «тривожними».
«Минулого тижня ми почали аудит всієї системи охорони здоров’я України. Станом на зараз можу сказати, що цифри, які ми отримуємо, сигнали, які ми отримуємо з регіонів – тривожні», – цитує Степанова пресслужба МОЗ.
Подробиць він не навів.
Від 1 квітня 2020 року в Україні стартував другий етап реформи системи охорони здоров’я. Він полягає у тому, що практично всі комунальні медичні заклади (районні, міські, обласні лікарні) країни будуть отримувати кошти за прямим договором з НСЗУ.
Станом на 1 квітня Національна служба здоров’я України підписала договори з 1 524 закладами спеціалізованої медичної допомоги, повідомили у МОЗ.

Trump Challenges Governors’ Authority on Reopening Economies
U.S. President Donald Trump is asserting that he, not the states, has “the ultimate authority” to decide when to lift stay-at-home directives and reopen the country’s economy. The president “calls the shots,” Trump said in a reply to a question from VOA about whether consortiums of states developing their own reopening plans pose a challenge to his authority to declare a national reopening amid the coronavirus pandemic. “They can’t do anything without the approval of the president of the United States,” Trump declared. Trump insisted there are numerous provisions of the Constitution backing him up on this, asserting “when somebody is president of the United States, the authority is total.” Under the U.S. Constitution, what powers are not defined in that framework for the federal government are left to the states. When a reporter pointed this out to the president that what he was claiming is not true, he responded, “Enough, please.” New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, calling into CNN just after Trump’s remarks, said that in the United States, “the president doesn’t have total authority. We have a Constitution. We don’t have a king.” If the president puts forward a reopening plan that “I believe is irresponsible and jeopardizes public health, I would oppose it legally,” Cuomo added. The governor noted Trump has helped New York and other states with the coronavirus response. And in view of that, Cuomo said, he does not understand why the president “would pivot at this point to this aggressive, hostile suggestion of a total authority of the federal government and abandon the partnership cooperation.” Trump says he will soon decide whether to reopen the United States to commerce at a time when 42 of the 50 state governors have imposed stay-at-home edicts because of the viral pandemic. The president recommended physical distancing between Americans through the end of April but is considering whether to reopen the country fully or partly May 1. A pedestrian stands along in a sparsely populated transit hub in the downtown financial district as retail stores remain shuttered due to COVID-19 concerns, Saturday, March 21, 2020, in New York. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced sweeping orders. Cuomo and five other governors of northeastern states had a joint telephone call to announce they are to begin deliberations Tuesday on a regional plan to reopen their economies. It should be state governors who make these decisions as they have been the ones “showing great leadership,” which has kept people safe, Rhode Island’s Gina Raimondo told her fellow governors. The governors of three Western states, California, Oregon and Washington, also announced Monday they are similarly taking a unified approach. The East and West Coast consortiums, in states led by opposition Democratic Party governors, together represent about 100 million people, nearly a third of the country’s population. New York City is the epicenter of the global pandemic and the state where more than 7,300 of the total 23,000 U.S. deaths have been recorded. Hospitals in the state, according to Cuomo, are still receiving 2,000 new COVID-19 patients per day, but the curve continues to flatten for the total number of New York cases. “I’m not confident the worst is over,” the governor said during a nationally televised briefing, warning the number could rise again “if we do something stupid.” The United States has more than 577,000 reported COVID-19 cases, the most of any country. Trump denied during Monday’s briefing he plans to remove Dr. Anthony Fauci, a member of the White House coronavirus task force and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984.Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony Fauci speaks during a coronavirus task force briefing at the White House, April 10, 2020, in Washington.Trump on Sunday had reposted a tweet that contained the phrase “Time to #FireFauci.” “It doesn’t matter,” he said of the tweet and expressed support for the respected physician before noting that “not everybody is happy with Anthony.” Trump referred to Fauci as a “wonderful guy.” Fauci, appearing Sunday on CNN, said earlier mitigation would have saved more lives, a statement he attempted to clean up during Monday’s briefing, explaining that he was responding to a hypothetical question that was taken out of context and he used “a poor choice of words.” Fauci’s credibility, according to public opinion polls, is much higher than any politician, including the president. Trump also is facing criticism for using Monday’s briefing, which ran nearly 2½ hours, to play what his critics quickly labeled a “propaganda” video to counter reports he ignored early warning about the coronavirus. “Because we have fake news, I like to document things,” Trump said of the video that he explained was produced by his social media director, Dan Scavino, and other White House staff. The screening of the video prompted some U.S. networks, such as CNN and MSNBC, to cut away from what live coverage of the daily White House coronavirus task force briefing. “Everything we did was right,” Trump told reporters, after playing the campaign style video. A former executive editor of the New York Times, Howell Raines, called the video “one of the most astonishing acts of disinformation from the White House since the Vietnam (War) era.”
