Coronavirus - New York - Cuomo Orders 100% of Nonessential to Stay Home

China doesn't own the majority. The Federal Reserve owns the vast majority.

China is a large holder of US debt. The point is that if they’re all inflating together nobody’s currency inflates more than any other.

In fact, the dollar has actually appreciated in terms of the euro recently even with all the fed’s money printing.

This is a windfall for Washington DC. They are happy as shit over there. They get to issue treasuries (debt) which the Fed just buys with printed money. Congress then gets to distribute the money.

This is why suddenly all of these Democratic governors are praising Trump.

If we did that it would be called counterfeiting and we’d be locked up for an extended period.

“Make the Decision to Stay Off the Island”: With the Virus Bearing Down, It’s Nantucketers Versus the Rich Summer Crowd.

Nantucket has approximately 10,000 year round residents. In the summer months the population swells to 50,000. The well healed are rapidly fleeing population centers, such as New York City and Los Angeles, for weekend homes in the countryside, away from other people. The Hamptons, on Long Island, or the islands off the East Coast of the United States are teeming with as much life in mid-March as they usually are in mid-July.

On March 17, there were no confirmed cases of COVID-19 on the island. This is good because there is only one small community hospital. Nantucket has limited medical resources and a surge of cases could quickly overwhelm the hospital. If people start panicking and want to leave, the options are limited to occasional ferries and flights. The private-jet crowd, can always come and go as they please.

Cuomo Orders 100% of Nonessential N.Y. Workforce to Stay Home



(Bloomberg) --

Governor Andrew Cuomo ordered New Yorkers to stay at home for the foreseeable future, after days of conflict with Mayor Bill de Blasio over whether such an extreme measure needed to be taken to arrest the spread of coronavirus.

The move follows a similar order by California’s Governor Gavin Newsom on Thursday, leaving only limited businesses allowed to operate and requires people to remain home other than going outside for exercise.

As the state’s death toll reached 35, Cuomo said the new orders would go in place late Sunday and exempt services including public transit and grocery stores. Banks and food delivery are also categorized as essential.

“This is the most drastic action we can take,” he said.

He said New Yorkers should stay indoors and shouldn’t take public transportation unless necessary. The number of confirmed cases of Covid-19 rose to 7,102, adding 2,950 since Thursday. New York City added 1,939 cases, to 4,408. The state has the highest infection rate in the nation.

The new order has the force of law, Cuomo said. “They will be enforced,” he said. There will be a fine for businesses that don’t comply, but not for individuals.

The rules are being adopted to protect the state’s most vulnerable population, including seniors over 70 and people with existing health problems, the governor said.

Part of the dispute between Cuomo and de Blasio had to do with semantics. The governor has said he abhors the term “shelter in place,” because it first became commonly used as a strategy to stay alive during a nuclear attack, and more recently during an active shooter situation in a school.

On Friday, he said, “It’s not a shelter in place order,” he said, and referred to California’s order, known as “stay at home.

“Words matter. California does not have a shelter in place order. They put in a new policy. It is not shelter in place,” he said. “People are scared and people panic.”

Cuomo said the rise in positive diagnoses had prompted the tighter restrictions.

“You look at these numbers and you understand why. Sixteen days ago we were at zero,” he said “Those numbers are why we are taking those actions. Just increase that curve and you will see it more than doubles our health care system’s capacity. It more than triples the number of ICU beds with ventilators that we could possibly arrange. That’s why we are taking these actions.”

Under the order, seniors and people with health conditions must remain indoors, prescreen all visitors and shouldn’t visit households with multiple people. Anyone visiting should wear a mask. Older New Yorkers shouldn’t take public transportation unless it’s urgent and absolutely necessary, Cuomo said.
