Key provisions in the stimulus

A centerpiece of the stimulus package is that it will provide direct financial assistance to Americans in the form of checks with the amount received based on income.

Individuals who earn $75,000 in adjusted gross income or less would get direct payments of $1,200 each, with married couples earning up to $150,000 receiving $2,400 -- and an additional $500 per each child.

The payment would scale down by income, phasing out entirely at $99,000 for singles and $198,000 for couples without children.

In addition, the bill would provide billions of dollars in aid to hard-hit hospitals struggling to deal with the outbreak as well for state and local governments that are cash-strapped due to their response to coronavirus.

One point of contention in negotiations centered around a fund for distressed industries, with Democrats worrying that there would not be adequate oversight. In a compromise move, the final deal provides for accountability through an independent Inspector General and congressional oversight panel.

Hard-fought negotiations led to a massive aid package

The stimulus package came together after intense and drawn-out negotiations between congressional Republicans and Democrats and the Trump administration that spanned multiple days and involved ongoing talks that stretched late into the night.

Democrats initially took issue with the package, which was crafted by Senate Republicans at the outset, arguing that it put corporations ahead of workers. Partisan tension over the legislation came to a head when Senate Democrats blocked two procedural votes to move ahead with the package, on Sunday and again on Monday, a setback to the bipartisan efforts to find a consensus deal.

A deal was ultimately announced mid-week, however, paving the way for the Senate to take up and pass the measure.

Lawmakers return to DC

Many members were scrambling to book flights and return to Washington on Thursday night amid concerns that they could be asked to vote in person on the stimulus, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

Two House members have already tested positive for Covid-19, while more than three dozen others have self-quarantined after experiencing flu-like symptoms, interactions with infected individuals or potential exposure.

Rep. Pete King, a New York Republican, tweeted on Friday morning: "Heading to Washington to vote on pandemic legislation. Because of one Member of Congress refusing to allow emergency action entire Congress must be called back to vote in House. Risk of infection and risk of legislation being delayed. Disgraceful. Irresponsible."

Rep. Dusty Johnson, a South Dakota Republican, tweeted a picture on a plane with Reps. Pete Stauber, a Minnesota Republican, and Minnesota Democratic Reps. Angie Craig and Betty McCollum. "A bipartisan (and socially distanced) flight to DC this morning to vote on Coronavirus economic relief," Johnson wrote.

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York told CNN on Wednesday that she might force a recorded vote, but the congresswoman ultimately did not, despite her criticism of the bill.

"But I think this bill has a lot of problems with it. And I'm extraordinary concerned about what Mitch McConnell has done," she said ahead of the vote. "I've had more constituents call concerned about this bill than in support of it. It's a very hard day. It's a very, very hard day for this body."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy both made clear on Thursday that they want the $2 trillion stimulus bill to be approved by their chamber Friday by voice vote.

On a conference call with Democratic members on Thursday, Pelosi said that if they are unable to pass the bill by voice vote, they will have a roll call vote Friday, according to three sources on the call.

Pelosi on Thursday predicted that the House will approve the stimulus package with a "strong bipartisan vote," adding that "if somebody has a different point of view, they can put it in the record."

McCarthy said at a news conference on Thursday that the House would operate differently than it usually does in order to promote social distancing.

He said the members won't sit next each other, they'll alter where the members stand, and staff will be cleaning as members come and go. He also said that members will have to enter one designated door and leave out the other.

"We have members on both sides of the aisle who have the virus. We have members who are quarantined. We have members who have challenges with airlines, getting their flights canceled. We will have enough to get this through, but the floor will look different," McCarthy said, explaining the modifications that will be made.

House officials detailed steps to limit member interactions in a notice to all House offices Thursday.

In the notice, obtained by CNN, the House Sergeant-at-Arms and the Capitol physician's office outlined new procedures ahead of the vote, explaining that access around the House chamber and on the floor will be limited. To that end, the House is closing the Speaker's Lobby, an area right off the House floor where reporters stake out and interview lawmakers and members frequently congregate.

Massie's threat

House leaders faced pressure to pass the legislation as quickly as possible and minimize the risks to their members in the process -- and the bill had been expected to be taken up by voice vote, a move that would allow for quick passage and was designed to permit House members not to return to Washington for a full roll call vote.

But Massie announced Friday that he would request a full roll-call vote.

"I came here to make sure our Republic doesn't deny by unanimous consent in an empty chamber and I request a recorded vote," Massie said on the House floor in an attempt to force the full vote.

A quorum of the House — 216 members — was needed to block Massie's attempt.

Massie made a point of order that a quorum was not present, but it was determined that a quorum was in fact present and the motion was adopted.

Members who made it to DC for the debate attempted to maintain social distancing, with some staying on the House floor while others sat in the upstairs gallery above the chamber, where the public usually sits.

Trump sharply criticized the congressman on Friday, saying in a pair of tweets that he "just wants the publicity" and should be thrown out of the Republican party.

"Looks like a third rate Grandstander named @RepThomasMassie, a Congressman from, unfortunately, a truly GREAT State, Kentucky, wants to vote against the new Save Our Workers Bill in Congress. He just wants the publicity. He can't stop it, only delay, which is both dangerous & costly," Trump tweeted.

"Workers & small businesses need money now in order to survive. Virus wasn't their fault. It is "HELL" dealing with the Dems, had to give up some stupid things in order to get the "big picture" done. 90% GREAT! WIN BACK HOUSE, but throw Massie out of Republican Party!," the President said.

The congressman told a local radio station Thursday that he's "having a really hard time" with the bill, and didn't seem too concerned about lawmakers' difficulties in getting back to Washington.

"If congressmen are complaining that it's hard to travel, well, what about the truckers that I saw on the road when I drove to DC? Hitch a ride with the trucker. ... If you're a congressman making $87 an hour and find it hard to get to DC, well, hitch a ride with the trucker," Massie said on 55KRC talk radio.

NY ATC Center, LGA tower will be closed overnight for sanitization

The New York Air Route Traffic Control Center and New York's LaGuardia Control Tower will now be closed overnight for sanitization, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

During this time other air traffic facilities will provide needed key services and some flights will be rerouted around the airspace, but the FAA expects a minimal impact on traffic since the volume during these hours is low.

Flights were briefly suspended at New York City and Philadelphia airports Saturday afternoon when an air traffic controller trainee at New York Air Route Traffic Control Center in Ronkonkoma, New York, tested positive for coronavirus.

Turkey imposes partial curfew and bans picnics and barbecues as cases have doubled each day in the past week

Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan early on Sunday did his best to reassure his people about the nation's efforts to control the coronavirus pandemic, saying Turkey is doing its duty to protect citizens. "I hope we will get over these difficult times together. Just follow the rules and guidance and also continue staying at homes," Erdogan posted on Twitter while reiterating that those older than 65 and anyone with a chronic disease should not go outside.

Turkey imposed a partial curfew on Saturday for senior citizens and those with chronic diseases, but stopped short of a blanket curfew. Earlier on Saturday, Turkey suspended flights from 46 additional countries and banned picnics and barbecues, as the number of cases has roughly doubled every day for the past week.

Turkey now has 947 confirmed cases of the virus, with 21 deaths.

Russia's military is sending medical aid to Italy

Russia's military is sending medical aid to Italy to help in its fight against the coronavirus epidemic, including disinfection vehicles and military virologists.

Russia's defense ministry in a statement announced military transport planes will be delivering eight mobile brigades of military medics, special disinfection vehicles and other medical equipment to Italy, starting from Sunday.

It followed a phone conversation between president Vladimir Putin and Italy's prime minister Giuseppe Conte, during which Putin offered help.

The move obviously highlights the EU's relative failure so far to aid Italy in the epidemic and follows China sending a plane-load of medics to help. The authoritarian governments see this as a diplomatic and PR opportunity. Italy was already one of the friendliest countries to Russia in the EU and this obviously won't go unremembered.

Miami shuts down marinas following Saturday night boat parties

Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez ordered that all boat ramps and marinas in the city would be closed for recreational use after images and videos of boat parties in the area circulated online Saturday night.

Gimenez chastised organizers and partygoers for violating the city's orders that limit crowds to 10 or fewer.

"We are in a state of emergency, and I cannot stress enough the need for personal responsibility," he said in a statement.

Only fishing boats will be able to use the docks and sail into the waters under the new order, which will be enforced by police boats, Gimenez said.

NJ governor says states needs $100M to fight pandemic

During an appearance on ABC's "This Week," New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy stressed that his state and others in the northeast region needed more assistance from the federal government to fight the pandemic.

Murphy told co-anchor Martha Raddatz that New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania needed $100 billion direct cash assistance to fight against the pandemic. Specifically, he said the states needed more personal protective equipment, or PPE.

"We are in desperate for more PPE," Murphy said. "We've had a big ask into the strategic stockpile on the White House -- they've given us a fraction of our ask."

Cuomo calls on New York City to open streets to public

Gov. Andrew Cuomo called on New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and other leaders to come up with a plan to reduce density in parks, after he saw large gatherings in the green spaces over the weekend.

Cuomo called the crowds at the parks "reckless," "arrogant" and "selfish" because of the greater risk and said the city needed to take immediate action. He gave the mayor and City Council Speaker Corey Johnson 24 hours to come up with a plan and suggested they consider closing some streets to vehicular traffic and open it up to pedestrians.

"Get creative. Open up the streets" he said at a news conference.

Cuomo later said he had the power to make that move, however he didn't know the full situation about the density of the parks and would defer the planning to local leaders.

De Blasio's office did not have an immediate comment about the governor's call to action. Johnson tweeted that he supported closing down streets.

"We must #StopTheSpread. The @NYCCouncil will do all we can to make this happen," he tweeted.

Cuomo said there were 15,168 positive coronavirus cases in the state, with more than 9,000 within New York City. The governor announced said there are plans to open up spaces to treat patients, including the Jacob Javits Center in Manhattan, and the state would be undergoing trials for a malaria drug that could treat the disease.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., announced on Twitter that he contracted COVID-19.

The senator said he is asymptomatic and was tested out of an abundance of caution due to his travel history, according to the tweet.

"He was not aware of any direct contact with any infected person," the tweet said.

Paul's office said it has been operating remotely for the last 10 days and "virtually no staff has had contact" with the senator. He will be in quarantine, according to his staff.

Paul is the first U.S. senator to have contracted the virus. Two House of Representatives members, Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., and Rep. Ben McAdam, D-Ut., tested positive for the disease last week.

Angela Merkel goes into quarantine as precaution

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has gone into self-quarantine after she was exposed to the virus, according to her office.

The chancellor learned that a doctor who administered a precautionary pneumonia vaccine on Friday afternoon tested positive for COVID-19, her office said.

"In the next days she will be regularly tested in the coming days, as a test now would not yet be fully conclusive. From her quarantine at home, the Chancellor will continue to attend to her official business," a spokeswoman said in a statement.

Shortly before she learned about the exposure, Merkel issued an order earlier in the day that barred social gatherings of more than two people with the exemptions of families and people living in the same household. The order will be in effect for two weeks.

NYPD to crack down on mass gatherings in parks

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and New York Police Commissioner Dermot Shea announced they will be cracking down on large gatherings that linger in city parks, to prevent COVID-19 exposure.

The order comes after reports of people interacting too closely in parks over the weekend, despite a shelter-in-place order by the mayor. Cops will be in cars, bikes and other vehicles with a speaker, alerting parkgoers not to linger, and if crowds get too big, the officers will break them up, according to de Blasio and Shea.

The mayor said they will run this policy for a week, and reassess their procedures.

"If we feel people aren't following the rules ... we will consider shutting [parks] down," he warned.

As of Sunday morning, New York City had 9,654 confirmed coronavirus cases, de Blasio said.

Earlier in the day, Gov. Andrew Cuomo asked the mayor to come up with a plan to reduce the density in parks and suggested that the city close certain streets to vehicular traffic and allow pedestrians.

De Blasio said he is mulling over closing the streets and will codify their plans in the next 24 hours, but warned that such a plan would require a gradual phase-in and strict police enforcement.

"If you put barriers at the end of a block and everyone comes out like it's normal, we can't have that," the mayor said.

Following the announcement this afternoon by Sen. Rand Paul that he had contracted the coronavirus, there are now five U.S. senators under self-quarantine.

Sen. Mitt Romney said that he had quarantined himself after having contact with Sen. Paul.

"Since Senator Romney sat next to Senator Paul for extended periods in recent days and consistent with CDC guidance, the attending physician has ordered him to immediately self-quarantine and not to vote on the Senate floor," a Romney spokesperson said in a statement. "He has no symptoms but will be tested. He urges members to pass a relief package as quickly as possible that provides assistance for families, workers, and small businesses."

Sen. Mike Lee is also under quarantine after coming in contact with Sen. Paul.

Sens. Rick Scott and Cory Gardner were already under self-quarantine after coming into contact with diplomatic delegations whose members had tested positive.

Trump to deploy National Guard in NY, California, Washington

The National Guard will be deployed to assist in the fight against the coronavirus in the hard-hit states of New York, California and Washington, President Donald Trump announced.

The move, announced at Sunday evening's briefing of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, will include delivery of medical supplies and the establishment of medical stations in those states.

"The federal government will be funding 100% of the cost to deploy National Guard units to carry out approved missions to stop the virus while those governors remain in command," Trump said. "I spoke with all three of the governors today, just a little while ago, they're very happy with what we're doing."

In addition, Trump said, "I directed FEMA to supply the following: Four large medical stations with 1,000 beds for New York, eight large federal medical stations with 2,000 beds for California. and three large federal medical stations and four small federal medical stations with 1,000 beds for the state of Washington."

Pete Gaynor of the Federal Emergency Management Agency said that medical supplies, including personal protective equipment, will be arriving in the affected states within 42 hours.

Also at the briefing, officials urged that testing be prioritized toward the neediest cases.

"We want people that have been checked into a hospital, that are being treated for what they expect to be coronavirus, to receive those tests more quickly.," said Vice President Mike Pence.

Members of the task force said that 254,000 Americans have been tested for COVID-19, with 30,000 of those -- 11.8% -- testing positive.

According to commercial testing labs, the U.S. should be caught up on the backlog in testing by midweek, officials said.

Meghan McCain fans out

McCain fanned out when Goldberg confirmed the OG conservative voice of the panel would be on the show.

"She's the only woman I would give up my chair for," McCain said. "She can sit in the conservative chair anytime. She's the OG. I love her."

The Republican political analyst had a similar reaction when Hasselbeck had visited the set in March 2019. At the time, the former co-host was promoting a book that she authored. McCain had a big question on her mind as the new conservative voice.

"How in God's name did you do this for 10 years? Being the lone conservative on this show is… I've always had respect for you. When I first came on my first day I said, 'I wish to emulate Elisabeth,' because you really were the OG of this seat," McCain said.

Hasselbeck said that everyone has a voice and as a co-host, you hold your friends with one hand and your values with the other.

"The goal is to keep the conversation going because you have to come back the next day and have another one," Hasselbeck added.

Goldberg continued: "Our friend Elisabeth lives there and I wanted to make sure she and her family were OK, and they are alright. Lissie, we'll see you next week when you're a guest co-host."

At the same time, Goldberg said that Hasselbeck would be a guest co-host on March 11.

"Tomorrow: Our friend [Hasselbeck] is joining us back at the 'Hot Topics' table as guest co-host," the verified account posted.

The reaction from fans of the daytime talk show was unexpected and there were a lot of negative comments about Hasselbeck.

"Seriously? Meghan and Elisabeth? Why the torment? What did we do wrong to deserve this?" a fan questioned.

"Can't stand her. Won't be watching. She was one of the reasons I stopped watching years ago," a viewer added.

"Thanks for the warning. Good day to find something else to watch," a Twitter user commented.

"I have to watch Meghan. Why in the world would I want to add Hasselbeck to that nightmare?" another fan pondered.

"Boo! Was so excited when she was fired. If they bring her back permanently I will never watch the show again," another viewer wrote.

"No thanks. Hard pass. Self-isolation for me," another Twitter user said.

Bloomberg touts haul spent to slam Trump

Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg spent more than $275 million on an anti-Trump media blitz during his brief presidential campaign to "remind voters" of President Trump's "failures and broken promises."

The Bloomberg campaign confirmed to Fox News Wednesday that of the more than $500 million spent on ads during the campaign, more than $275 million went directly toward ads aimed at the Republican president.

The multibillionaire business and media mogul declared his candidacy in late November. He ended his White House bid last week, after a dismal showing in the 14 states from coast to coast that held Democratic presidential nomination contests on Super Tuesday. Bloomberg immediately backed Biden's campaign.

On deck for Sanders and Biden

Sanders traveled to New York City later on Wednesday for an appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon."

Biden was scheduled to give an address on Thursday in his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware, on the coronavirus outbreak, which on Wednesday was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization.

Both candidates abruptly canceled rallies in Cleveland, Ohio, on Tuesday night due coronavirus conerns.

Biden's campaign announced on Wednesday that events scheduled in Illinois and Florida for Friday and Monday were canceled after requests from offiicials in those two states. The campaign said that virtual events would instead be held.

The next round of showdowns

The upcoming primary calendar appears to only make matters worse for Sanders as his window for nomination continues to shut.

The large states of Florida, Illinois, Ohio and Arizona all hold primaries next Tuesday, followed a week later by Georgia. Sanders lost all five of these states in the 2016 Democratic race to eventual nominee Clinton.

The latest public opinion polls in Florida and Arizona -- conducted after Super Tuesday but before this week's impressive wins by Biden -- indicated the former vice president holding large double digit leads over Sanders.

At last count, Sanders had slipped roughly 150 delegates behind Biden, and it's extremely challenging for the senator to make up such ground in the upcoming contests.

Democracy 2020 Digest: Bernie sets terms for possible future exit, even as he stays put

Sen. Bernie Sanders vowed on Wednesday to stay in the Democratic presidential nomination race, emphasizing that "on Sunday I very much look forward to the debate in Arizona with my friend Joe Biden."

The populist senator from Vermont – who spoke the day after he was pummeled by the former vice president in Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi and Idaho and fell further behind Biden in the crucial race for Democratic convention delegates -- then pledged to press the former vice president and nomination front-runner at this weekend's primetime showdown with a series of progressive policy questions.

But if you read between the lines of Sanders short 10-minute address, it seemed like he was setting the terms for his likely upcoming exit from the race by laying down markers for Biden to accept – such as embracing the self-described democratic socialist's progressive agenda and a commitment to the younger voters who've fueled both of Sanders presidential campaigns.

"Bernie Sanders is clearly laying down a marker for Joe Biden that he is going to press him on to provide answers," veteran Democratic strategist Zac Petkanas noted.

Petkanas, who served as the Hillary Clinton campaign's director of rapid response in the 2016 race, emphasized, "The question that is still up in the air is whether Sanders is proving a road map for Biden or is he going to use those issues as a hammer to weaken Biden. I think we're going to get an answer to that at the debate on Sunday."

Sanders -- whose chances of winning the nomination are quickly evaporating -- acknowledged he's losing the electability argument to Biden but declared that he's won the "ideological debate." And he touted the appeal of his progressive message and took aim at the former vice president for not resonating with younger voters.

Then the senator – in what appeared to be a progressive litmus test -- shared some of the questions he plans confront his rival with on the stage.

Petkanas – who's unaffiliated in the 2020 Democratic primaries but admits he leans toward Biden -- said that if Sanders "uses those questions that he's raised to promote progressive ideas and hang a lantern on the urgency of issues like climate change and income inequality and health care, that's a really positive way for Sanders to use the last remaining days of his candidacy."

10. Should we throw away masks after each use? If we are wearing the masks to protect us from getting coronavirus when going outside should we throw them out after each use before going back inside?

The CDC advises AGAINST healthy people wearing masks. People who have symptoms can wear a mask as an extra barrier to protect others from their sneezes/coughs. Surgical masks are intended for single use only. -- @DrAngelaBaldwin

Inslee 주지사는 워싱턴에서 코로나 바이러스 퇴치를위한 '필수 조치'

새로운 코로나 바이러스가 워싱턴에서 위협으로 등장한 이후, 관리들은 조언, 건강 관리 및 기타 지원을 제공함으로써 사람들이 서로를 감염시키지 않도록 노력하고 있습니다. 그들이 바이러스의 확산을 늦추기 위해 아직하지 않은 것은 주민들에게 그들이 할 수있는 것과 할 수없는 것을 말해줍니다.

그러나 언젠가는 변경 될 수 있습니다.

제이 인 슬리 주지사는 23 일, 관계자들은 사회적 확산에 대한 강제 조치를 국가 발발에 대항하려는 국가의 노력의 일환으로 고려하고 있다고 밝혔다.

Inslee는 고려중인 조치에 대한 많은 세부 정보를 공개하지 않았지만"사회 활동"이 축소 될 수 있다고 말했습니다.

그는"지금이 주제에 대해 약 한 시간 안에 회의에 참석할 것입니다."라고 CBS 쇼"Face the Nation"에 대한 인터뷰에서 말했습니다.

타라 리 대변인은 이번 주 주지사는 보건부 관계자들, 지역 보건 관계자들, 시장들과 일요일에 가능성을 논의하기 위해 합류했다고 말했습니다. 관계자들은 아직 옵션에 대한 정보를 공유 할 준비가되지 않았다고 말했다.

"이것은 여러 관할권이있는 결정이며 복잡합니다."이메일에 "우리는 아직 결정이 없으며 오늘 마무리 될 것은 없습니다."

보건 당국자들은 일요일 19 일 사망 한 것을 포함 해 워싱턴에서 최소 136 개의 코로나 바이러스 사례를보고했다. 킹 카운티는 발표 된 두 주일을 포함하여 17 명의 사망자를 보았으며, 스노 호미 쉬와 그랜트 카운티는 각각 1 명을 보았습니다.

시애틀 및 킹 카운티 공중 보건국의 성명에 따르면,이주의 사망자 가운데 16 명은 커클랜드 생명 관리 센터와 관련이 있습니다.

공중 보건 기관은 60 세 이상의 사람들, 임신 한 사람들, 면역 체계 약화를 포함한 근본적인 건강 상태를 가진 사람들은 집에 머물 것을 권장합니다. 이 기관은 또한 빈번한 손씻기, 재택 근무 및 모임 취소를 권고했다.

워싱턴 대학의 역학 교수 인 앤 마리 킴볼 (An Marie Kimball)은 현지 공무원들이 조만간 움직임과 활동에 대한 엄격한 제한을 명령 할 것으로 기대하지 않으며, 더 많은 데이터를 이용할 수있을 때까지 강제 조치를 취하지 않을 것이라고 말했다.

킴볼은 관계자들이이 바이러스의 발생 범위를 이해하는 데 도움이되는 광범위한 테스트를 시작했다고 밝혔다.

"더 많은 데이터가 필요합니다."그녀가 말했습니다. "우리는 다음 며칠 안에 알게 될 것입니다 ... 그러면 사회적 거리와 의무 조치에 대한 결정을 내릴 수 있습니다."

그러나 전 미국 식품의 약국 (FDA) 위원은 특별한 기동이 필요할 것이라고 말했다.

"국가도없고 도시도 기본적으로 경제를 가장 먼저 닫고 싶지 않다고 생각합니다. 그러나 그 일이 일어나야 할 것입니다."Scott Gottlieb는 2017 년부터 2019 년까지 FDA를 이끌었고 Inslee 이후"Face the Nation"에 출연했습니다. "주와 도시는 광범위한 전염병을 예방하기 위해 현재 국가의 관심에 따라 행동해야 할 것입니다."

"Face the Nation"주최자 Margaret Brennan은 Inslee에게 이번 주 이탈리아 총리가 여행 제한에 따라 많은 지방을 배치하고 영화관과 박물관을 폐쇄하고 스포츠를 폐쇄하는 법령에 서명 한 이탈리아의 주말과 같은 잠금 요구 사항을 채택 할 가능성에 대해 Inslee에게 질문했습니다. 대중에게 이벤트.

"종료를 고려 했습니까?" 브레넌은 궁금해했다.

"글쎄, 우리는 그런 종류의 언어를 사용하지 않지만 공중 보건 영역에서 사회적 거리를 두는 것에 대한 요구 사항을 확실히 고려하고 있습니다."Inslee가 대답했습니다.

"현재 자발적인 의사 결정을 확장하고 있습니다. 그리고 우리는 모든 지역 사회에 지금 당장 행사가 필요한지 여부를 고려해 보라고 요청했으며 취소 될 것입니다."라고 그는 덧붙였습니다.

"우리는 특히 취약한 인구와 요양원 등을 보호하기 위해 다음 단계를 고려하고 있습니다. 그리고 우리는 강제 조치가 필요한지 결정하려고합니다."

워싱턴 주 주민들은 공중 보건 공무원의 말을 듣고 재택 근무를하고 병이 났을 때 집에 머물면서 지금까지"매우 잘 반응했다"고 주지사는 말했다. "그러나 다음 단계로 넘어 가야 할 수도 있습니다. 우리는이 곡선을 극복하기 위해 진지하게 생각하는 사람들을 생각하고 있습니다."

Inslee는"다음 단계는"사회 활동의 수를 줄이는 것"과 관련이 있다고 말했다. 주민들에게는 어려울 수 있지만, 주 감염률이 높아질 수 있다고 그는 말했다.

"우리는 그 물결을 예상해야합니다. "우리는 지금 더 강력한 대책을 생각하고 있습니다."

Gov. Inslee oorweeg 'sterker maatreëls' om die verspreiding van koronavirus te stop

SEATTLE - Amptenare in Washington oorweeg sterker maatreëls vir maatskaplike distansieë, omdat die staat die verspreiding van koronavirus sal bevat, het Goew. Jay Inslee aan KOMO News gesê.

"Ek dink nie daaraan in terme van kwarantyn nie," het Inslee gesê. Die goewerneur het gesê om meer daaraan te dink as om die aantal sosiale aktiwiteite te verminder.

Verskeie organisasies het aandag geskenk aan die raad van openbare gesondheidsamptenare om groot geleenthede in die Seattle-omgewing uit te stel. Comic Con, wat elke jaar soveel as 100,000 mense lok, het hul baie verwagte gebeurtenis tot die somer uitgestel.

'Ons sien mense wat ek dink rasionele besluite neem oor die uitstel van groter geleenthede', het Inslee gesê. 'Hierdie dinge gebeur dus op 'n vrywillige basis, maar ons oorweeg dat daar sterker maatreëls moet wees wat nodig is om hierdie eenvormiger te maak regoor die gemeenskap. "

Inslee vergader Sondag met gesondheidskenners om beter te begryp hoe aggressief die staat moet raak en om in die komende weke toepaslike besluite te neem oor sosiale distansie.

Volgens Inslee werk staatsamptenare nou saam met die plaaslike wetenskaplike gemeenskap en die federale regering wat dosyne mense na verpleeginrigtings gestuur het om te help met toetsing, insluitend Life Care Center, die verpleeginrigting in die episentrum van die coronavirus-uitbraak in die staat Washington.

"Ons het ons plaaslike kapasiteit verhoog (toetsstelle) met 'n faktor van 20 of 50 omdat ons voor die kromme gekom het," het Inslee verduidelik. 'Ons het gesien dat dit kom, en daarom het ons ons eie staatsprotokolle opgestel, in teenstelling met baie state.'

Hy het voortgegaan: 'Maar selfs met die hoedanigheid benodig ons bykomende produksie van die plaaslike, van die private laboratoriums, en dit is waar ons die federale regering regtig nodig het, en dit is waaroor ek met die vise-president gepraat het. Ons het 'n behoefte aan die federale regering om 'n nuwe manier te sertifiseer vir die private laboratoriums met 'n faktor van tien of meer [toetsstelle]. "

Die Bill en Melinda Gates-stigting versterk hul pogings in die stryd teen koronavirus. Die organisasie het aangekondig dat hulle in die komende weke begin om tuistoetsingstelle vir koronavirus aan te bied vir mense in die Seattle-omgewing.

Die Seattle Times berig dat 'n bekendstellingsdatum nog nie vasgestel is nie en dat daar baie besonderhede is om uit te stryk.

Enigiemand wat dink dat hulle besmet is, kan 'n vraelys aanlyn invul en 'n toetsstel aanvra indien hul simptome ooreenstem met COVID-19-gevalle.

Die kits bevat neuse-deppers met monsters wat na 'n laboratorium aan die Universiteit van Washington gestuur word om te toets.

Ons span sal en sal voortgaan om aktief maniere te ondersoek waarop ons kan bydra tot plaaslike reaksie deur die toepassing van die studie, "het die Bill & Melinda Gates-stigting in 'n e-posverklaring gesê. 'Terwyl ons vinnig met ons vennote saamwerk om vas te stel wat moontlik is, is besonderhede van hierdie ondersteuning nog nie gefinaliseer nie. Ons sal uitreik sodra ons meer het om te deel. "

De gouverneur van Washington zegt dat 'verplichte maatregelen' nodig kunnen zijn om het coronavirus te bestrijden

"Verplichte maatregelen" om openbare activiteiten te verminderen kunnen nodig zijn om de verspreiding van coronavirus te bestrijden, zei gouverneur Jay Inslee van Washington.

"Tot nu toe reageert het publiek heel goed door ervoor te zorgen dat ze luisteren naar verzoeken om de volksgezondheid," zei Inslee in een interview met Margaret Brennan op "Face the Nation" zondag op CBS.

"Mensen blijven nu thuis als ze ziek zijn," zei Inslee, volgens een transcriptie van het interview van het CBS. "Ze hebben heel, heel effectief telewerken en telewerken. En dus dat werkt. Maar misschien moeten we naar de volgende stap gaan. '

Gevraagd door Brennan zei Inslee dat het misschien niet gaat om quarantaine of het sluiten van steden, maar om het aantal openbare activiteiten te verminderen waar mensen het virus onbedoeld zouden kunnen verspreiden.

"We zijn bezig met het uitbreiden van wat nu vrijwillige beslissingen zijn," zei Inslee. "En we hebben een hele reeks communities gevraagd om te overwegen of je je evenementen nu echt nodig hebt, en ze worden geannuleerd. (Emerald City) Comic Con is uitgesteld. We hebben een aantal schoolafsluitingen. "

"We denken nu aan sterkere maatregelen," zei Inslee.

Meer dan 107.000 gevallen van het COVID-19-virus zijn wereldwijd bevestigd, met meer dan 3.600 doden per 8 maart, volgens Johns Hopkins University. De Verenigde Staten hebben meer dan 435 bevestigde gevallen met 19 doden - 16 in de staat Washington.

Op 'Face the Nation' verwierp Inslee, een democraat, kritiek van president Donald Trump op de aanvankelijke behandeling door zijn staat van de coronavirus-uitbraken in de buurt van Seattle.

"Het kan me echt niet schelen wat Donald Trump van me denkt," zei Inslee. "En dat negeren we gewoon. Het is achtergrondgeluid omdat we echt moeten samenwerken, Republikeinen en Democraten. Dit is een nationale crisis. "

Inslee zei dat hij goed had samengewerkt met vice-president Mike Pence, die donderdag Washington bezocht, en federale agentschapshoofden bij de uitbraken van het coronavirus.

"Dus kijk, we richten ons op de gezondheid van mensen, niet op dit moment op politiek spel. En dat is wat we moeten doen, 'zei Inslee.

ટ્રમ્પે ઇનસોલીને કોરોનાવાયરસ રેટરિકની ટીકા અંગે 'સાપ' ગણાવ્યો હતો

રાષ્ટ્રપતિ ડોનાલ્ડ ટ્રમ્પે શુક્રવારે વ Washingtonશિંગ્ટન ગવર્નન્સ. જય ઇન્સલીને તેના વહીવટીતંત્રની કોરોનાવાયરસ ફાટી નીકળવાની પ્રતિક્રિયાની ટીકા કરવા બદલ "સાપ" કહ્યું.

રોગ નિયંત્રણ અને નિવારણ કેન્દ્રો પર એટલાન્ટામાં બોલતા, ટ્રમ્પે ઇન્સ્લી પર એમ કહીને પ્રહાર કર્યો કે તે ફાટી નીકળવાની ચર્ચા કરતી વખતે ટ્રમ્પ વિજ્ toાનને વળગી રહેવા માંગે છે. ટ્રમ્પે વારંવાર આ ફાટી નીકળવાની ગુરુત્વાકર્ષણને ઘટાડવાનો પ્રયત્ન કર્યો છે અને વિજ્ ofાનની બાબતો પર પોતાનો શિકાર બનાવ્યો છે.

ટ્રમ્પે ઉપરાષ્ટ્રપતિ માઇક પેન્સનો ઉલ્લેખ કરતાં કહ્યું, "મેં માઇકને કહ્યું કે તે રાજ્યપાલની પ્રશંસા ન કરે, કારણ કે તે રાજ્યપાલ સાપ છે," ટ્રમ્પે ઉપરાષ્ટ્રપતિ માઇક પેન્સનો ઉલ્લેખ કરતાં કહ્યું. "તો માઇક તેની સાથે ખુશ હોઈ શકે પણ હું નથી, ઠીક?"

પેન્સ એ ટ્રમ્પના વહીવટના કોરોનાવાયરસ પ્રયત્નોના વડા તરીકે નિયુક્ત થયા છે અને રાજ્ય અને સ્થાનિક અધિકારીઓ સુધી નિયંત્રણ યોજનાઓની સંકલન માટે પહોંચી રહ્યા છે.

ઇન્સલીએ ગયા મહિને ટ્વિટ કર્યું હતું કે પેન્સ દ્વારા તેમનો સંપર્ક કરવામાં આવ્યો હતો પરંતુ તેમણે કહ્યું હતું કે તેઓ ઇચ્છે છે કે ટ્રમ્પ પ્રશાસન ફાટી નીકળવાની તથ્યોને વળગી રહે.

ઇન્સલીએ ટ્વીટ કર્યું, "મને હમણાં જ @VP માઇક પેન્સનો કોલ મળ્યો, વોશિંગ્ટન રાજ્યનો કોરોનાવાયરસ સામે લડવાના પ્રયત્નો બદલ આભાર માન્યો." "મેં તેમને કહ્યું કે જો ટ્રમ્પ એડમિનિસ્ટ્રેશન વિજ્ toાન તરફ વળ્યું અને સાચું કહ્યું તો અમારું કાર્ય વધુ સફળ થઈ શકે."

કોરોનાવાયરસથી પ્રથમ યુ.એસ.ના મૃત્યુનું સ્થાન વ Washingtonશિંગ્ટન રાજ્ય હતું અને ત્યારબાદ રાજ્યમાં મૃત્યુની સંખ્યામાં વધારો થયો છે.

ટ્રમ્પે વારંવાર ફરિયાદ કરી છે કે તે ફાટી નીકળતાં અટકાવવાના પ્રયત્નો માટે પૂરતું ક્રેડિટ મેળવી રહ્યું નથી.

"જો આપણે આજે ઈલાજ સાથે આવ્યા છીએ, અને કાલે બધુ જ ખતમ થઈ ગયું છે, અને તમે આ રાજ્યપાલ પાસે ગયા - કોણ છે, તમે જાણો છો, એક સરસ રાજ્યપાલ નથી, - જો તમે આ રાજ્યપાલ પાસે ગયા હો, અને તમે કહ્યું તેમને કહેતા, 'ટ્રમ્પે કેવી રીતે કર્યું?' તે કહેશે, 'તેણે એક ભયંકર કામ કર્યું.' તેનાથી કોઈ ફરક પડતો નથી, 'ટ્રમ્પે શુક્રવારે કહ્યું.

[ANT] New comment on Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee on Trump coronavi....

Erin Burnett has left a new comment on your post "Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee on Trump coronavi...":

ვაშინგტონის გუბერნატორი ჯეი ინსლეი წონის "სავალდებულო ზომებს" კოროვირუსის წინააღმდეგ საბრძოლველად

ვაშინგტონი - ვაშინგტონის გუბერნატორმა ჯეი ინსლეიმ თქვა, რომ მისი სახელმწიფო, რომელსაც ყველაზე მეტი კორონავირუსის შემთხვევები აქვს აშშ – ში, განიხილავს, არის თუ არა საჭირო "სავალდებულო ზომები", სასიკვდილო ვირუსის გავრცელებასთან ბრძოლაში.

"ჩვენ ვგეგმავთ შემდეგ ნაბიჯებს, განსაკუთრებით, რომ დავიცვათ ჩვენი დაუცველი მოსახლეობა და ჩვენი მეძუძური სახლები და ა.შ.", - თქვა დემოკრატმა ინსლეიმ კვირას "Face Nation". "ჩვენ ვეძებთ იმის გარკვევას, არის თუ არა საჭირო სავალდებულო ზომები."

მსოფლიოში მსოფლიოში კორონავირუსის 107 000-ზე მეტი დადასტურებული შემთხვევაა, მათ შორის 460 აშშ – ში, სადაც 32 შტატში და კოლუმბიის ოლქში ჩატარებულმა ადამიანებმა ვირუსი დადებითად შეამოწმეს.

ოცამდე ადამიანი დაიღუპა აშშ-ში, მათ შორის 17 მხოლოდ ვაშინგტონის შტატში.

ინსლეიმ თქვა, რომ მისმა შტატმა მიიღო ზომები, რომლებიც მიზნად ისახავს შეზღუდული იყოს ადამიანების რაოდენობის შემცირებისთვის, მათ შორის, სატელევიზიო სამუშაოების წახალისებით, ღონისძიებების გაუქმებით ან გადავადებით, დამსწრეთა დიდი რაოდენობით, მაგალითად, Emerald City Comic Con.

ინსლეიმ თქვა, რომ ვაშინგტონის შტატის ოფიციალური პირები განიხილავენ "ძლიერ ზომებს".

"ჩვენ ვეძებთ ვრცლად გავაფართოვოთ რა არის ნებაყოფლობითი გადაწყვეტილებები ახლა", - თქვა მან. "ჩვენ მთელს თემას ვთხოვეთ გაითვალისწინონ, ნამდვილად გჭირდებათ თუ არა თქვენი ღონისძიებების ჩატარება ახლავე და მათი გაუქმება."

ინსლეიმ შეაქო საზოგადოების მხრიდან საპასუხო რეაქცია და თქვა, რომ ამერიკელები "ძალიან კარგად რეაგირებენ" და ემორჩილებიან საზოგადოებრივი ჯანდაცვის ოფიციალური პირების მოთხოვნებს.

"მაგრამ შეიძლება ჩვენ შემდეგი ნაბიჯი უნდა გადავიდეთ და სერიოზულად ვფიქრობთ იმაზე, რომ სერიოზულად მივიდნენ წინ," - თქვა მან და დასძინა, რომ შეიძლება შეიცავდეს "იმ სოციალური აქტივობების შემცირებას, რაც მიმდინარეობს".

ინსლეი ხუთშაბათს შეხვდა ტრამპის ადმინისტრაციის მაღალჩინოსნებს, მათ შორის ვიცე-პრეზიდენტ მაიკ პენსს, რომელსაც პრეზიდენტმა ტრამპმა მიართვა კოროვირუსული დაავადების დაწყების შესახებ ფედერალური მთავრობის რეაგირება.

გუბერნატორმა დაადასტურა, რომ ფედერალურ მთავრობასთან პრობლემები შეექმნა, რაც თავიდანვე დაიწყო დაავადება, განსაკუთრებით ტესტირების ოქმები და აღნიშნა, რომ ადმინისტრაციას უნდა დააჩქაროს ტესტების წარმოება. მან ასევე თქვა, რომ პენს "სასარგებლო" აქვს.

"ჩვენ აქცენტი კეთდება ადამიანების ჯანმრთელობაზე და არა პოლიტიკურ თამაშებზე", - თქვა ინსლეიმ.

Virginia

Many of the same factors that buoyed Biden in South Carolina also catapulted him to success in Virginia, including personal popularity, a focus on electability and his strength among the black electorate. More Virginia Democratic primary voters had favorable views of Biden – 73% – than any other candidate in the race (Warren had 51% favorability, Sanders 47%). Further, 57% saw Biden as the candidate best suited to beat Trump in November.

Biden also benefited from a strong showing among the 49% who made their voting decision in the last few days, following late endorsements by former Gov. Terry McAuliffe and U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine.

Sanders garnered broad support among the state's youngest voters, winning 57% of the under-30 vote. He was also successful among voters who want to see the country take a more liberal turn rather than resume Obama administration policies – but they accounted for fewer than three in 10 voters in the state.

Vermont

Sanders' support in his home state was deep and broad. He dominated among his core groups, earning 68% of those 18-29 and "very" liberals alike, as well as nearly six in 10 independents. But Sanders also edged over Biden 39-28% among moderates and conservatives in the state. In a further demonstration of his home-state advantage, 46% of Vermont voters saw Sanders as the candidate best able to defeat Trump, the most in states with exit polls Tuesday.

Vermont stood in its support for a government-run single-payer health care system, backed by a broad 73%. About six in 10 in this group voted for Sanders, crowding out support for Warren, the other remaining candidate who'd campaigned for a single-payer system. (Warren and Biden won just 14% in this group alike.) On the flip side, Biden won 42% of voters who oppose a single-payer system.
