Cuomo says New York will exhaust ventilator stockpile in six days
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said Thursday that the state will exhaust its stockpile of ventilators in six days, raising new concerns about whether the state has enough supplies to fight the coronavirus.
"At the current burn rate, we have about six days of ventilators in our stockpile," Cuomo said at a press briefing.
Cuomo said that shortage is "troubling" but noted that there are extraordinary measures the state can take to increase its supply.
Those include repurposing anesthesia machines as ventilators, splitting ventilators to use on two patients at once and moving ventilators from upstate hospitals down to New York City.
Cuomo has repeatedly called on the Trump administration for help, and the federal government has sent some ventilators, but Cuomo said he is acting as if the state is "on our own" and does not know if the federal government can send more.
President Trump has at times questioned whether New York really needs as many ventilators as the state says.
Officials in many states have said they wish the federal government would take more charge of the process of obtaining supplies so that states are not bidding against each other.
Cuomo said the federal government is "very aware of our situation" and that he spoke to Trump Thursday morning. If need be, he said, "I'll plead" with the federal government for more.
Trump tweeted criticism of New York's efforts to get supplies on Thursday, while at the same time praising Cuomo.
"Unlike other states, New York unfortunately got off to a late start," Trump tweeted. "You should have pushed harder. Stop complaining & find out where all of these supplies are going. Cuomo working hard!"
The governor said 2,200 ventilators remain in the state stockpile, but about 350 people come into hospitals every night needing a ventilator.
Cuomo noted that the extraordinary measures are available, but still noted the gravity of the situation, given how important ventilators are to allowing a seriously ill person to breathe and stay alive.
"If the person comes in and needs a ventilator and you don't have a ventilator, the person dies," Cuomo said.
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) has also warned his state could run out of ventilators as soon as this week, even with a shipment of 150 more from the federal government.
"The 150 will only get us a day or so, maybe two, before we exceed that capacity. Even with the 150 it's going to be around April 4 or 5," Edwards said Tuesday.

Coronavirus Hoarding: Feds Seize 192,000 N95 Respirator Masks, Other Equipment
In addition to the respirators, 130,000 pieces of other equipment were seized, including medical-grade gloves
Owners are to be compensated at pre-COVID-19 prices
Healthcare workers have reported critical shortages of personal protective equipment, some resorting to donning garbage bags in lieu of gowns
The departments of Justice and Health and Human Services announced Thursday 192,000 N95 respirator masks have been confiscated in New York and New Jersey, and now are being distributed to hospital workers and others on the front lines of the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
The enforcement action was the first announced by Justice’s COVID-19 Hoarding and Price Gouging Task Force. HHS used its authority under the Defense Production Act to commandeer the supplies and said the owners would be compensated at pre-COVID-19 prices.
In addition to the N95 masks, investigators found 598,000 medical grade gloves and 130,000 surgical masks, procedure masks, N100 masks, surgical gowns, disinfectant towels, particulate filters, bottles of hand sanitizer and bottles of spray disinfectant. The raid was conducted Monday.
"If you are amassing critical medical equipment for the purpose of selling it at exorbitant prices, you can expect a knock at your door," Attorney General William P. Barr said in a press release. "The Department of Justice's COVID-19 Hoarding and Price Gouging Task Force is working tirelessly around the clock with all our law enforcement partners to ensure that bad actors cannot illicitly profit from the COVID-19 pandemic facing our nation."
HHS Secretary Alex Azar noted healthcare workers are in desperate need of personal protective equipment as the number of confirmed coronavirus cases swell and the death toll climbs. There have been reports of nurses donning garbage bags in lieu of gowns amid PPE shortages.
White House DPA coordinator Peter Navarro said Thursday’s announcement represents only the first of such enforcement actions.
"Our FBI agents and other law enforcement agencies are tracking down every tip and lead they get, and are devoting massive federal resources to this effort,” he said. “All individuals and companies hoarding any of these critical supplies, or selling them at well above market prices, are hereby warned they should turn them over to local authorities or the federal government now or risk prompt seizure by the federal government."
overnors across the country have been pleading for more medical equipment. Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, head of the National Governors Association, said states are flying blind. Governors said they are being pitted against each other on eBay and other marketplaces as they attempt to secure supplies.
The action came as the number of confirmed cases in the U.S. rose above 217,000 at noon EDT with 5,151 deaths, 1,374 in New York City.

Putin's second address to the nation on coronavirus pandemic
The president prolonged paid non-working days for Russians until April 30
NOVO-OGARYOVO, April 2. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered his second address to the nation on the coronavirus situation in the last eight days. The head of state’s speech is broadcast by Russian television.
The president declared that paid non-working days in Russia would be prolonged until April 30.
"We have not passed the peak of the epidemic in the world and in our country yet. Due to this, I have decided to prolong the non-working days until the end of the month, that is, until April 30." He stressed that workers would still be paid during the days-off.
Public agencies, pharmacies, groceries, essential good shops will continue working during the days-off, the president informed.
Vladimir Putin has thanked all those who observe coronavirus prevention recommendations, in particular medics. "I am certain that all citizens will join their voices to the deepest thanks to our medical workers," Putin stated in his televised message.
"I would like to sincerely thank all of you without an exception and to say ‘thank you’ to the volunteers and all people who have not stayed indifferent and realized their personal responsibility for the struggle against the epidemic and strictly follow the recommendations of the authorities and medical specialists, caring about their own health as well as that of their relatives and dear ones and the security of all those around," Putin said.
According to the president, Russian authorities managed to win time for preventive measures against the coronavirus. "The days-off declared nationwide, and also self-isolation envisaged for residents of many regions allowed us to win time for preventive measures, mobilize all the bodies of power and build up resources of the health care system in order to fight the epidemic maximally efficiently, banking both on our own experience and the best practices of other countries," Putin stressed.
Russia is managing to shield elderly people against the coronavirus and prevent the infection’s spread in educational institutions, the Russian leader said.
"I consider it principally important that we are generally managing so far to shield people of older generations against the serious threat and to prevent an outbreak of the epidemic in kindergartens, schools, higher education institutions and other educational establishments," Putin said.

Russia, Saudis Deny Trump "Expectation" Of 10 Million bpd Oil Production Cut
(Update 1330ET): Well, it appears that we officially have no deal, because moments ago Russia's energy minister Novak made it clear that instead of cutting supply, Moscow will wait for demand to return:
RUSSIA'S NOVAK SAYS WE HOPE THAT GLOBAL OIL DEMAND WILL RISE IN A FEW MONTHS
Then Dow Jones made it clear that according to Saudi sources, Trump's tweet was nothing but baseless oil price manipulation:
SAUDI OFFICIAL SAY TRUMP'S TALK OF 10 MILLION BBL A DAY CUT OR ABOVE WAS AN EXAGGERATION
Finally, Moscow made it clear where to expect oil prices in the coming year:
RUSSIA IS SAID TO BASE REVISED 2020 BUDGET PLAN ON $20 OIL
Why oil is still up at this point is beyond us.
-

*

Update (1300ET): As Bloomberg adds despite the triumphant tone of Trump’s tweets, Saudi Arabia and Russia have yet to agree to the size of any production cut, according to an OPEC+ delegate familiar with the conversations. Any curbs will be conditional on every major oil producer also agreeing to reduce production, the person said, asking not to be named discussing diplomatic conversations.
Saudi Arabia wants countries that aren’t part of the OPEC+ alliance to join in any future pro-rationing. Although Riyadh hasn’t drawn up a formal list, in the past OPEC+ had invited big American oil producers, Brazil and Canada to its meetings. Both Canada and Brazil have previously declined. OPEC had also invited the Texas Railroad Commission, which regulates the oil industry in the state, to participate in its meetings.
That, however, is not in the cards because as Bloomberg also notes:
TRUMP NOT PLANNING TO ASK DOMESTIC OIL PRODUCERS FOR CUT: RTRS
Trump is scheduled to speak with the leaders of U.S. oil producers and refiners on Friday. One industry leader said the president may have been motivated to remark on the surplus oil production because the U.S. is literally running out of physical space to store crude.
“I think something like this was inevitable because there is nowhere to put the oil,” said Dan Eberhart, a Trump donor and chief executive of drilling services company Canary Drilling Services. “I think this is out of necessity, not out of gamesmanship.”
-

*
-
Update (1125ET): Caught between a rock (not pissing off Trump), and a hard - or rather soft - place, (hoping to flood the world with millions of barrels in excess oil), moments ago Dow Jones reported that the Saudis are mulling a production cut to 9mmb/d but only if others join.
Again, this means Crown Prince MbS is only willing to go back to where the March Vienna OPEC summt was… just before Russia refused to cut by 500kb/d and all hell broke loose. In other words, this is not a negotiation, this is an offer to return to the bargaining table at the point where Russia balked.
SAUDIS MULL OIL-OUTPUT TO BELOW 9M B/D IF OTHERS JOIN: DJ
Oh, and there is another problem: even if Saudis cut from 12mmb/d to 9mmb/d and Russia cuts by 500k, that's 3.5mmb/d less in supply. Meanwhile, global demand is down by over 15mm barrels! In other words, the only way the oil market will rebalance is if both Saudi Arabia and Russia both stop pumping, even as shale continues to flood the world with US oil (because as Whiting showed yesterday, the company will continue business as usual even under Chapter 11).
In other news, nothing the Saudis do will reduce US output, which is precisely the problem.
In short, fade this rally.

Pelosi Trying to Load Up Next Stimulus Bill With Goodies Unrelated to Virus Relief
Just last week, Congress passed a $2 trillion stimulus bill to keep the economy going as the nation observes a "stay at home" policy. But Democrats are already licking their chops to take another stab at passing items on their wish list that are totally unrelated to stimulating the economy or bailing people out of a financial crisis.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is not having any of it.
The Hill:
"She needs to stand down on the notion that we're going to go along with taking advantage of the crisis to do things that are unrelated to the crisis," McConnell told The Washington Post.
McConnell added that "what's really happening here is, she's looking for a way to jam us."
Pelosi's drive to remove the cap from deducting state and local taxes at $10,000 is getting under McConnell's skin.
House Democrats are still trying to use this crisis to push unrelated pet priorities.
Last week: Carbon regulations.
Now? A tax giveaway for wealthy people in blue states, panned by economists across the spectrum.
This is a crisis. Let's act like it. https://t.co/okeS98rSkc
— Leader McConnell (@senatemajldr) April 1, 2020
Some of the ideas Pelosi floated, including a massive infrastructure plan and reversing the 2017 tax law's $10,000 cap on the state and local tax (SALT), have been panned by McConnell.
Lawmakers in both parties and the administration have talked for years about doing a massive infrastructure package, and President Trump renewed his call for it this week.
But McConnell told The Post that the sticking point remained the same: How to pay for such a bill.
Trump wants an infrastructure bill that builds, well, infrastructure. Pelosi wants an infrastructure bill that grows the power of the unions. Neither one of them wants to pay for it, which may be a bigger problem this time around.
"There is a reality of how you pay for it. We just passed a $2 trillion bill, and it would take a lot of convincing to convince me that we should do transportation in a way that's not credibly paid for after what we just passed last week," he said.
It's not that there's a groundswell of opposition to the bill – or any stimulus, for that matter – because of its cost. We heard barely a peep from Republicans about how we're going to pay for the $2 trillion bill when we're already running a trillion-dollar budget deficit. But it's just possible that there is unease in the heartland over the cumulative cost of these bills and, with an election coming up, they may wish to pretend to be responsible legislators and question some of the expenditures.
But McConnell is trying to put a damper on Pelosi's enthusiasm by taking a "wait and see" approach.
The GOP leader hasn't ruled out a fourth bill, but he and several members of his caucus have signaled that they want to wait to see what impact the third bill has before deciding what additional legislation from Congress might be needed. The Senate is currently out of town until April 20.
You can bet before most of those individual stimulus checks arrive that Pelosi and the Democrats will be crying about doing something "for ordinary Americans" and pushing legislation that will have little to do with the economic emergency.

Trump Campaign Tells Jeff Sessions To Move On — ‘Do Not Support Your Efforts’
President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign on Tuesday sent a letter to Jeff Sessions, asking him to stop using the president’s name in his advertisements and telling him that the president does not support his bid for Senate.
“The Trump campaign has learned that your U.S. Senate campaign is circulating mailers like the one I have enclosed, in which you misleadingly promote your connections to and ‘support’ of President Trump,” the Trump campaign’s chief operating officer, Michael Glassner, wrote in the letter, obtained by the New York Times.
“We only assume your campaign is doing this to confuse President Trump’s loyal supporters in Alabama into believing the president supports your candidacy in the upcoming primary runoff election. Nothing could be further from the truth.” The letter states that Trump “unambiguously endorse Tommy Tuberville,” and that “President Trump and his campaign do not support your efforts to return to the U.S. Senate.”
Sessions, who was expected to win the primary, served as a U.S. senator in Alabama from Jan. 3, 1997, to Feb. 8, 2017. He then accepted a job as the attorney general and resigned from the position Nov. 7, 2018.
Sessions will take on the former Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville in a runoff election, setting up a run against current Democratic Alabama Sen. Doug Jones.
Trump endorsed Truberville in March, saying “Tommy was a terrific head football coach at Auburn University. He is a REAL LEADER who will never let MAGA/KAG, or our Country, down!”

OANN’s Chanel Rion: WH Press Sec Stephanie Grisham Invited Me Back to Briefing Room
Chanel Rion, OANN’s White House correspondent, said Thursday that White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham invited her to attend the day’s White House coronavirus task force briefing after she was barred by White House Correspondents’ Association for allegedly breaching social distancing guidelines.
A partial transcript is as follows:
JENNIFER FRANCO: You say Stephanie Grisham approved your appearance in the briefing room. Has the White House issued any sort of statement regarding that incident?
CHANEL RION: I spoke with Stephanie Grisham. I met with her and we discussed the situation, and she invited me again to attend briefing today as her guest, standing in the back, and I will be in the press room today if there are no physical complications with that. She has stated explicitly that she had invited me in both instances, both yesterday and the day before when we were not on rotation, to stand at the back of the room.
So she reiterated, but there’s no official statement coming out of the White House yet. However, there are some rumblings happening between these various organizations as they discuss what exactly are the rules in that room and who controls it.

Newsom: Coronavirus an Opportunity to Create a New "Progressive Era" to "Reshape the Way We Do Business and How We Govern"
Never let a crisis go to waste, right?
California governor Gavin Newsom (D) said the Coronavirus is an opportunity to create a new “progressive era.”
The Coronavirus panic has caused unemployment to spike in the wake of unprecedented shelter-in-place orders from local and state governments.
President Trump just signed a mammoth $2 trillion Coronavirus economic stimulus package and Congress is already working on a 4th bill.
Governors have closed down churches and small businesses because of the Coronavirus, stripping Americans of their First Amendment rights.
Pastors are being threatened for holding church services and in some cases arrested for defying ‘social distancing’ guidelines.
Newsom, who considered declaring martial law a couple weeks ago after 12 Coronavirus deaths in the state, praised the revolution.
“We see this as an opportunity to reshape the way we do business and how we govern,” Newsom said.

I want some of what you are smoking
Netanyahu, heads of Mossad, NSC, MOH all in isolation after Litzman infected
Health minister accused of praying contrary to his own office’s guidelines
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Mossad Director Yossi Cohen, National Security Council Adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat and Health Ministry director-general Moshe Bar Siman Tov entered quarantine on Thursday after Health Minister Ya’acov Litzman was diagnosed with the coronavirus.
These officials, essentially Israel’s top leadership, are currently leading efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19 throughout the country.
“The health minister is feeling well,” the Health Ministry said Thursday.
Dr. Sigal Sadetsky, head of Public Health Services at the Health Ministry; Dr. Vered Ezra, head of Medical Management at the Health Ministry; and Hadassah-University Medical Center CEO Zeev Rotstein are in self-isolation after they met in recent days with Litzman.
IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Aviv Kochavi is working from quarantine after coming in contact with an infected officer earlier in the week. He has tested negative for the virus.
Cohen will be in isolation at Mossad headquarters until Sunday. Litzman, head of United Torah Judaism, will be at home in Jerusalem. Bar Siman Tov will be in an office at Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer.
Netanyahu will also be at home through Wednesday. He completed a few days of self-isolation on Wednesday after coming into contact with another one of his advisers who also contracted the virus 14 days prior. He was tested – along with his family and several close advisers – on Monday. The tests were negative.
“We were prepared for such a possibility [of senior politicians and bureaucrats entering quarantine],” Bar Siman Tov said in a statement. “I will continue to manage my team through digital means… The need to go into isolation can happen to all of us, and we must obey instructions."
He urged citizens to follow Health Ministry guidelines.
But Litzman might not have followed his office’s guidelines, Channel 12 reported Thursday. He reportedly prayed at a synagogue with a minyan on March 28, three days after the Health Ministry’s directive that “no person should pray in a place other than his place of residence unless prayers are being conducted in an open space.”
Testimony by residents in the haredi neighborhood in which Litzman lives suggests he violated the directives several other times. Neighbors said he prayed at a minyan more than 100 meters from his home.
“He prayed daily in the Beit Israel synagogue with my father,” a young man told Channel 12. “I suppose the health minister will not say he was there during any investigation, which raises risk here. There are people out there who don’t know they should be in isolation because they came in contact with him, and if it turns out they are carrying the disease, they will pass it on and on.”
In response, Litzman’s office denied the allegations. “The minister of health has been fully responsible for the entire period,” it said in a statement.
Litzman’s office accused the report of being rooted in politics, adding: “Attempt to involve political pressure in a national and global emergency must be rejected.”
Yesh Atid head Yair Lapid said if the prime minister does not dismiss Litzman from his role, “the government does not have the moral validity to manage the coronavirus crisis.”
Last week, after Litzman attended a Knesset session, parliamentary and Health Ministry officials checked the footage of the building’s security cameras to determine with whom he had direct contact. Both a Knesset security guard and UTJ MK Yisrael Eichler were ordered to enter self-isolation. The entrances to the offices of Litzman and Eichler have been disinfected.
