Grim phase arrives ‐ three more hot-spot cities, Chicago, New Orleans, Detroit |
2020-03-28 |
New York is worse off than anywhere, with 44,000 confirmed cases, half of the nationwide total. New York City alone has reported 23,000 cases and 365 deaths. City doctors say the hospitals there face a worse calamity than during the AIDS epidemic or the 9/11 terrorist attacks. But New York’s mitigation efforts appear to be working as the state’s new cases have begun to level off, U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams said Friday. So the city had decelerated infections and reached an inflection point, even though the worst is yet to come and the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center has been converted to a temporary hospital in preparation for an influx of patients. But three other cities face growing crises, Adams said. "We also see hot spots like Detroit, like Chicago, like New Orleans that will have a worse week next week than what they had this week," he said Friday on CBS This Morning. |

#3 Not sure ol’ “... Hank would have done it that way.” Ol’ Hank had a decided list of bigotries. Hitler was inspired by Henry Ford: “I regard Henry Ford as my inspiration." It was in 1922, Reuth writes, that Ford began channelling funds to the Nazi Party, having almost certainly been "tapped up" as a prominent donor by either Hitler or one of his closest henchmen. In 1938, five years after the Nazis rose to power, Ford received a special birthday present from Hitler. |

#2 and the Detroit Free Press printed a ‘draft’ of a letter from Henry Ford Hospital talking about ventilator rationing and only giving ‘comfort care’ to those with any of a listed issues. Not sure ol’ “... Hank would have done it that way.” |
