Ik ben niet een van de mensen die president Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela, EYE, ondersteunt, maar het lijkt mij dat het enige dat het heel goed uit elkaar heeft gehouden de kwestie van covid-19 in dat land is, zouden de Amerikaanse heersers moeten zien als a Zo'n klein land geeft het voorbeeld van goede pandemiecontrole en grote zorg voor zijn burgers.
In venezuela zijn de afgelopen jaren door maduro maatregelen allang de meeste potentiële coronaslachtoffers overleden door de compleet kapotte economie.quote:

Dat ze de pandemie daar zo goed 'onder controle hebben' heeft meer te maken met het feit dat er voor de pandemie uitbrak al helemaal niemand naar dat land toe reisde dan met enige goede beleidskeuzes van Maduro. Zuid-Soedan en Jemen hebben om exact dezelfde redenen ook nauwelijks bevestigde Covid-19 gevallen.quote:

De definitie van Europa is nogal breed en differentieert tussen 450 - 750 miljoen inwoners, en oppervlakte tussen de 4.5 miljoen - 10 miljoen km2. In alle gevallen komt de bevolkingsdichtheid van de US niet eens in de buurt van die van Europa. Dus vergelijkingen maken tussen hoeveelheid doden is nauwelijks mogelijk, nog even los van het feit dat het onduidelijk is hoe die doden allemaal geteld worden per land.quote:

Trump to Order U.S. Meat Plants to Stay Open Amid Pandemic
Trump to Order U.S. Meat Plants to Stay Open Amid Pandemic
President will invoke Defense Production Act after closures
At least 6,500 workers sickened or in isolation, union says
"President Donald Trump plans to order meat-processing plants to remain open as the nation confronts growing food-supply disruptions from the coronavirus outbreak, a person familiar with the matter said.
Trump plans to use the Defense Production Act to order the companies to stay open as critical infrastructure, and the government will provide additional protective gear for employees as well as guidance, according to the person.
The order sets the stage for a showdown between America’s meat giants, which have been pressing to reopen plants, and some local officials and labor unions who’ve called for closures in a bid to prevent the virus from spreading. The president himself has long agitated for Americans to return to work and restore an economy crippled by social distancing measures.
Trump signaled the executive action at the White House on Tuesday, saying he planned to sign an order aimed at Tyson Foods Inc.’s liability, which had become “a road block” for the company. He didn’t elaborate.
The order, though, will not be limited to Tyson, the person said. It will affect many processing plants supplying beef, chicken, eggs and pork. Shares in Tyson and poultry producer Sanderson Farms Inc. extended gains after the news, while JBS SA, the world’s top meat producer, was little changed.
JBS’s local unit and Smithfield Foods Inc. didn’t immediately respond to calls and emails, while Tyson and Cargill Inc. said they couldn’t comment because they don’t have the executive order. Tyson did say safety remains its top priority “while we work to continue fulfilling our role of feeding families across the country.”
The White House decided to make the move amid estimates that as much as 80% of U.S. meat production capacity could shut down. But a union representing plant workers accused the administration of failing to develop meaningful safety requirements that would have helped contain the disruptions."

Na het verplicht open houden van de vleesfabrieken gaan ze in de VS blijkbaar nog een stapje verder in sommige staten. Toevallig ook in een van de staten, Iowa, waar een van die vleesfabrieken staat. Toevallig twee staten met Republikeinse gouverneurs, voor wat het waard is.
Texas sending restaurant and retail employees back to work without child care
Restaurant, retail and movie theater workers may be called back to work as soon as Friday. But licensed child care remains open only for children of "essential" workers.
"Restaurant servers, retail cashiers and movie theater concession workers in Texas could be called back to work as soon as Friday, in the first phase of the state's emergence from a coronavirus shelter-at-home order.
But parents working in those industries who have young children will be turned away from licensed child care centers, which remain open only for children of essential workers such as grocery clerks and nurses. And public and private schools across the state are closed for all students through the end of the school year.
As Republican state leaders move to re-energize the economy, already a controversial decision, they are forcing some parents into a near-impossible choice: find a place to leave your child or risk losing your source of income. Those who choose not to go to work when their business reopens will no longer be eligible for unemployment payments.

"Only in Trump's America": Despite Covid-19, Employees in Texas and Iowa Told to Get Back to Work or Lose Unemployment Benefits
"I feel like either I'm going to lose my business and everything I worked for, or I'm going to get sick."
"If you don't return to work in Texas and Iowa because you fear getting sick from the coronavirus you risk losing unemployment benefits.
That's the directive from the respective states' two Republican governors, who separately issued guidelines to that effect as part of an effort to reopen their economies despite warnings from public health officials.
In Iowa, Gov. Kim Reynolds announced last Friday that anyone in the state refusing to return to work due to concerns over contracting Covid-19, which has as of press time killed over 59,000 Americans, would be considered as a "voluntary quit" from their job and ineligible for unemployment benefits.
"If you're an employer and you offer to bring your employee back to work and they decide not to, that's a voluntary quit," said Reynolds. "Therefore, they would not be eligible for the unemployment money."
In a guidance memo issued Monday, the Iowa Workforce Development agency urged employers to turn in workers who choose to prioritize their personal health and safety over demands they return to work.
"Businesses should report employees who refuse to return to work without good reason or who quit their jobs as soon as possible," the memo declared.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbot on Monday issued an order reopening his state's economy for May 1, meaning Texans who do not return to work could also lose access to unemployment benefits."
N.B.:
Iowa is de staat die de afgelopen week misschien wel de grootste relatieve groei heeft meegemaakt qua aantallen besmettingen.
Dat is dus bijna 3 keer zoveel besmettingen als 10 dagen terug.
Ter vergelijking:
Enigszins vergelijkbare staten qua inwoneraantal zijn:

Ik denk wel een grotendeels correct stuk opinie/analyse in The Irish Times: https://www.irishtimes.co(...)reat-again-1.4235928
quote:Donald Trump has destroyed the country he promised to make great again
The world has loved, hated and envied the US, Now, for the first time, we pity it
By Fintan O'Toole
Over more than two centuries, the United States has stirred a very wide range of feelings in the rest of the world: love and hatred, fear and hope, envy and contempt, awe and anger. But there is one emotion that has never been directed towards the US until now: pity.
However bad things are for most other rich democracies, it is hard not to feel sorry for Americans. Most of them did not vote for Donald Trump in 2016. Yet they are locked down with a malignant narcissist who, instead of protecting his people from Covid-19, has amplified its lethality. The country Trump promised to make great again has never in its history seemed so pitiful.
Will American prestige ever recover from this shameful episode? The US went into the coronavirus crisis with immense advantages: precious weeks of warning about what was coming, the world’s best concentration of medical and scientific expertise, effectively limitless financial resources, a military complex with stunning logistical capacity and most of the world’s leading technology corporations. Yet it managed to make itself the global epicentre of the pandemic.
As the American writer George Packer puts it in the current edition of the Atlantic, “The United States reacted ... like Pakistan or Belarus – like a country with shoddy infrastructure and a dysfunctional government whose leaders were too corrupt or stupid to head off mass suffering.”
It is one thing to be powerless in the face of a natural disaster, quite another to watch vast power being squandered in real time – wilfully, malevolently, vindictively. It is one thing for governments to fail (as, in one degree or another, most governments did), quite another to watch a ruler and his supporters actively spread a deadly virus. Trump, his party and Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News became vectors of the pestilence.
The grotesque spectacle of the president openly inciting people (some of them armed) to take to the streets to oppose the restrictions that save lives is the manifestation of a political death wish. What are supposed to be daily briefings on the crisis, demonstrative of national unity in the face of a shared challenge, have been used by Trump merely to sow confusion and division. They provide a recurring horror show in which all the neuroses that haunt the American subconscious dance naked on live TV.
If the plague is a test, its ruling political nexus ensured that the US would fail it at a terrible cost in human lives. In the process, the idea of the US as the world’s leading nation – an idea that has shaped the past century – has all but evaporated.
Other than the Trump impersonator Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, who is now looking to the US as the exemplar of anything other than what not to do? How many people in Düsseldorf or Dublin are wishing they lived in Detroit or Dallas?
It is hard to remember now but, even in 2017, when Trump took office, the conventional wisdom in the US was that the Republican Party and the broader framework of US political institutions would prevent him from doing too much damage. This was always a delusion, but the pandemic has exposed it in the most savage ways.
Abject surrender
What used to be called mainstream conservatism has not absorbed Trump – he has absorbed it. Almost the entire right-wing half of American politics has surrendered abjectly to him. It has sacrificed on the altar of wanton stupidity the most basic ideas of responsibility, care and even safety.
Thus, even at the very end of March, 15 Republican governors had failed to order people to stay at home or to close non-essential businesses. In Alabama, for example, it was not until April 3rd that governor Kay Ivey finally issued a stay-at-home order.
In Florida, the state with the highest concentration of elderly people with underlying conditions, governor Ron DeSantis, a Trump mini-me, kept the beach resorts open to students travelling from all over the US for spring break parties. Even on April 1st, when he issued restrictions, DeSantis exempted religious services and “recreational activities”.
Georgia governor Brian Kemp, when he finally issued a stay-at-home order on April 1st, explained: “We didn’t know that [the virus can be spread by people without symptoms] until the last 24 hours.”
This is not mere ignorance – it is deliberate and homicidal stupidity. There is, as the demonstrations this week in US cities have shown, plenty of political mileage in denying the reality of the pandemic. It is fuelled by Fox News and far-right internet sites, and it reaps for these politicians millions of dollars in donations, mostly (in an ugly irony) from older people who are most vulnerable to the coronavirus.
It draws on a concoction of conspiracy theories, hatred of science, paranoia about the “deep state” and religious providentialism (God will protect the good folks) that is now very deeply infused in the mindset of the American right.
Trump embodies and enacts this mindset, but he did not invent it. The US response to the coronavirus crisis has been paralysed by a contradiction that the Republicans have inserted into the heart of US democracy. On the one hand, they want to control all the levers of governmental power. On the other they have created a popular base by playing on the notion that government is innately evil and must not be trusted.
The contradiction was made manifest in two of Trump’s statements on the pandemic: on the one hand that he has “total authority”, and on the other that “I don’t take responsibility at all”. Caught between authoritarian and anarchic impulses, he is incapable of coherence.
Fertile ground
But this is not just Donald Trump. The crisis has shown definitively that Trump’s presidency is not an aberration. It has grown on soil long prepared to receive it. The monstrous blossoming of misrule has structure and purpose and strategy behind it.
There are very powerful interests who demand “freedom” in order to do as they like with the environment, society and the economy. They have infused a very large part of American culture with the belief that “freedom” is literally more important than life. My freedom to own assault weapons trumps your right not to get shot at school. Now, my freedom to go to the barber (“I Need a Haircut” read one banner this week in St Paul, Minnesota) trumps your need to avoid infection.
Usually when this kind of outlandish idiocy is displaying itself, there is the comforting thought that, if things were really serious, it would all stop. People would sober up. Instead, a large part of the US has hit the bottle even harder.
And the president, his party and their media allies keep supplying the drinks. There has been no moment of truth, no shock of realisation that the antics have to end. No one of any substance on the US right has stepped in to say: get a grip, people are dying here.
That is the mark of how deep the trouble is for the US – it is not just that Trump has treated the crisis merely as a way to feed tribal hatreds but that this behaviour has become normalised. When the freak show is live on TV every evening, and the star is boasting about his ratings, it is not really a freak show any more. For a very large and solid bloc of Americans, it is reality.
And this will get worse before it gets better. Trump has at least eight more months in power. In his inaugural address in 2017, he evoked “American carnage” and promised to make it stop. But now that the real carnage has arrived, he is revelling in it. He is in his element.
As things get worse, he will pump more hatred and falsehood, more death-wish defiance of reason and decency, into the groundwater. If a new administration succeeds him in 2021, it will have to clean up the toxic dump he leaves behind. If he is re-elected, toxicity will have become the lifeblood of American politics.
Either way, it will be a long time before the rest of the world can imagine America being great again.

Coronavirus update: Trump
Trump sprak vanavond met een aantal zakenmensen en zonder zijn medische adviseurs, Birx en Fauci.
We hebben (nog) geen beeld, maar volgens een aanwezige journalist zei Donald dit:
But without a vaccine, why does Trump think the pandemic will just go away? He dodged the question.
“It’s gonna go, it’s gonna leave,” Trump said, without explaining his thinking. “It’s gonna be eradicated.”

Steeds meer mensen raken hun baan kwijt.
Dit kan leiden tot een ramp in bepaalde gebieden.
Laten we kijken naar de stad NYC.
1.) NYC heeft hoogste schuld per inwoner.
2.) NYC groei wordt gedragen door immigratie.
3.) Onder Trump immigratie aan banden gelegd (skilled en unskilled), wat direct impact heeft op groei bevolking NYC.

4.) Door corona neemt immigratie nog verder af, wat zal leiden tot verdere daling inwoners NYC.

5.)
Immigranten die al in de VS zijn moeten vertrekken als ze hun baan verliezen. Meerderheid bevind zich in NYC. Daarnaast zijn veel tijdelijke migranten al vrijwillig vertrokken.
https://www.bloomberg.com(...)he-u-s?sref=Zq4xqPsX
Bovenstaande zal dus leiden tot een versnelling van de trend (flinke! daling inwoners NYC) en zal de schuld per inwoner al flink laten toenemen. Daarbovenop komen nog
1) Daling inkomsten belasting
2) Groeiende kosten sociale diensten
3) Andere corona-gerelateerde kosten.
Vorig jaar waren er al waarschuwingen dat NYC failliet kan gaan.

Laatste keer dat NYC bijna failliet ging zag de Bronx er na afloop zo uit.
