Cuomo: Medical Supplies That China Produces Should be Made in US

Basic medical supplies are primarily sourced from China but American companies should start manufacturing them, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said on Wednesday. The state, like many others, has struggled to obtain enough supplies for the projected coming apex of聽聽CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus聽cases. New York officials are still working on procuring supplies but in “a real cruel twist of fate,” China is the main manufacturer for many items. “Where do we get the masks? China. Where do we get the gowns? China. Where do we get the gloves? China. Where do we get the ventilators? China,” Cuomo told reporters at a press conference in Albany. “I don’t know how we got into this position.” In another portion of the briefing, he sounded a similar alarm. Boxes of N95 protective…

UK CCP Virus Death Toll Rises 24 Percent in a Single Day

The United Kingdom’s death toll from the new virus that originated in China rose nearly 25 percent in one day, authorities announced on Thursday.

COVID-19, a disease caused by the聽CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus, can cause death in some patients.

UK authorities said the death toll rose from聽2,352 to 2,921. The increase of 569 was slightly above the increase of 563 reported Wednesday. The number of deaths doesn’t include those that take place outside hospitals, such as those in nursing homes.

All patients but 44 had underlying health conditions, National Health Service England said. COVID-19 causes more severe cases and deaths in people with such conditions or the elderly than those in other groups.

Alok Sharma, Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, told reporters that one of the deaths this week was a 13-year-old patient.

The number of patients testing positive in the country rose to 33,718 overnight, an increase of 4,244 from the day prior. Over 163,000 people have been tested as of 9 a.m. on April 2. The number of people hospitalized in England rose to 10,767, including over 3,000 in London, Sharma said.

The UK is in lockdown, with people ordered to only go outside for food, health reasons, or work if they cannot work from home and are a key worker.

The CCP virus spreads between people, prompting officials around the world to order nationals to largely stay at home.

“When we reduce our day-to-day contact with other people, we will reduce the spread of the infection,” the UK government says on its website about the March 23 lockdown orders.

Authorities have been given authority to enforce orders through fines of 拢60 ($74).

Preventative measures recommended for the virus include frequently washing hands, avoiding sick people, and wearing a mask and gloves when leaving home.

Florida Governor Issues Statewide Stay-at-Home Order

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday announced a statewide stay-at-home order amid the CCP virus pandemic. The聽CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus, causes a disease called COVID-19 that has killed thousands across the United States, including 87 in Florida. DeSantis cited President Donald Trump’s extending national guidelines that advise people to stay at home as much as possible for why he’s now ordering residents to only leave their house for essential reasons, such as going to a grocery store or pharmacy. “Although the guidelines don’t call for any new actions beyond what was there previously, I think it’s clear that that represents, effectively, a national pause,” DeSantis said. “It makes sense to make this move now.” National guidelines were extended to April 30.
