Kushner coronavirus effort said to be hampered by inexperienced volunteers

Kushner hired volunteersThe coronavirus response being spearheaded by President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has relied in part on volunteers from consulting and private equity firms with little expertise in the tasks to which they were assigned, exacerbating chronic problems in obtaining supplies for hospitals and other needs, according to numerous government officials and a volunteer involved in the effort.

About two dozen employees from Boston Consulting Group, Insight, McKinsey and other firms have volunteered their time - some on paid vacation leave from their jobs and others without pay - to aid the Trump administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic, according to administration officials and others familiar with the arrangement.

Fauci: No scientific evidence the coronavirus was made in a Chinese lab

Fauci: Virus not man made

Fauci is most concerned that the United States will be put to the test this fall and winter by a second wave of COVID-19 if the country does not blunt the infection rate by the summer.

“Shame on us if we don't have enough tests by the time this so-called return might occur in the fall and winter,” he says, advising that the U.S. needs to make sure we not only have an adequate supply of tests available before a second wave hits, but also a system for getting those tests to the people who most need them.

“I don't think there's a chance that this virus is just going to disappear,” he says. “It's going to be around, and if given the opportunity, it will resurge.” As such, Fauci says the U.S. should also focus this summer on properly reinforcing the nation’s health care system, ensuring the availability of hospital beds, ventilators, and personal protective equipment for health care workers.

World leaders pledge to fight coronavirus, but the U.S. skips the meeting

European Comnission president.

An EU-led fundraising extravaganza for Covid-19 vaccines, treatments and diagnostics fell just short of the European Commission's €7.5 billion goal on Monday — even after organizers decided to count money already spent or allocated.

But an even bigger challenge for world leaders could be keeping a pledge to fight the pandemic without fighting each other.

Russia and the United States, onetime superpower rivals in science as well as politics, pointedly did not participate, highlighting the real risk that some wealthy countries could look to control vaccines or treatments to benefit their own citizens first.

U.S. court dismisses New York nurses case against Montefiore for COVID-19 protection

Montefiore nurses protest lack of equipment

The New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) sued Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, saying among other things that the hospital was ignoring requirements that healthcare workers receive an N95 respirator mask daily.

U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan on Friday granted Montefiore’s motion to dismiss the case, saying he lacked authority to address the nurses’ concerns.

But he urged both sides to “continue their efforts to reach an amicable resolution of their disputes.”

“Lives may hang in the balance, and the NYSNA nurses deserve as much.”

'Not over yet': Joe Biden tells USWNT to keep fighting for equal pay, calls out U.S. Soccer

Women's soccer suit for equal pay thrown out of court

After a federal judge in California on Friday threw out the U.S. women's national soccer team's claim of unequal pay compared to the men's team, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden tweeted his support of the women.

"Don't give up this fight," read a tweet posted on Biden's official account on Saturday. "This is not over yet."

The former vice president also called out U.S. Soccer and laid out in plain terms what the consequences would be if the organization did not pony up for equal pay.

"Equal pay, now," Biden tweeted. "Or else when I'm president, you can go elsewhere for World Cup funding."

Trump reverses course, will hold coronavirus news conference

Trump reverses on pressers; what a shock!!!U.S. President Donald Trump’s pause in holding White House coronavirus briefings only lasted the weekend as officials said he would participate in one on Monday to update Americans on new testing guidelines.

Trump’s advisers have been arguing that the sessions, held nearly every day for more than a month, had begun to show him in an unfavorable light, particularly after a Thursday news conference at which he asked his health experts whether disinfectants that kill the virus on surfaces might be a used in patients as a treatment.

Some Republicans fear Trump is doing his re-election prospects more harm than good with sessions that often turn into harangues against reporters, and have watched his job approval numbers drop at a time when they should be gaining steam.

TVNL Comment:  The Egomaniac in Chief could not stay away from the cameras for long.  Go for it, Donald, and tell us about another magical cure for COVID-19.

Largest analysis of hydroxychloroquine use finds no benefit, increased deaths

Hydroxuchloroquine has no value against COVID-19
Ananiti-malaria drug touted by President Trump as a
"game changer" for COVID-19 showed no benefit, according to an analysis of patients hospitalized in Veterans Health Administration medical centers.

The analysis found the two primary outcomes for people treated with hydroxychloroquine were death and the need for mechanical ventilation.

The analysis was conducted retrospectively, based on data from patients hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19 infections in all VA medical centers until April 11, 2020.

TVNL Comment: Read the second paragraph carefully.  Self-anointed Dr. Trump is a charleton.

A U.S. Supreme Court first: arguments by teleconference including major one involving Trump

Supreme Court: teleconferencingThe U.S. Supreme Court said on Monday that for the first time it will hear cases argued by teleconference rather than in the courtroom due to the coronavirus pandemic including a dispute over whether President Donald Trump’s tax and financial records should be disclosed.

The announcement represented the latest way the pandemic has forced changes in American society, with the nine justices set to embrace teleconferencing like countless other shuttered workplaces that have struggled to continue functioning.

The court will hear arguments next month by teleconference in 10 cases, with the justices and lawyers for the litigants set to participate remotely in light of “public health guidance” in response to the pandemic, court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said.
