You made it sound as if RI stopped the new policy of stopping cars altogether and not having the Nat'l Guard going house-to-house to find out-of-state people. So, yeah, they stopped singling out New York, but simply expanded it to all states, which you could have said just as easily. Not my fault you were misleading with your statement.Lemons wrote: ↑Mon Mar 30, 2020 1:32 amDo you even read what you quote? “No longer singling out New York”.

https://www.politico.com/states/new-yor ... rs-1269535Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo is no longer singling out motorists from New York for restricted access to her state. Instead, she has broadened the restrictions to include all other states.
Why did Florida get all the emergency supplies it requested when other states didn't?

No no no... It's all about TRUMP.DSamuels wrote: ↑Sun Mar 29, 2020 9:35 am It seems that they asked for a lot LESS supplies than other states. It also looks like supplies sent went by population rather than request.
Above quote from the article postedThe system appears to roughly conform to states’ populations, rather than the size of their requests. Florida, a state of 21 million, got all 180,000 N95 masks it wanted. Oregon, a state of 4 million, only received 40,000 of the 400,000 masks it requested, and New Jersey, a state of 9 million, got 85,000 of the 2.9 million masks it feels it needs.

Is it actually Trump who makes the decision as to what medical supplies go where?

Yes, but I would think making those decisions would be made by someone with the specific job of being in charge of the federal medical decisions.Thelma Harper wrote: ↑Mon Mar 30, 2020 12:59 pmApparently a president can direct any department to do what he tells them.Frau Holle wrote: ↑Mon Mar 30, 2020 12:31 pm Is it actually Trump who makes the decision as to what medical supplies go where?
Maybe that is the president, I don’t know. But I would have assumed it would be the surgeon general or someone on his team.

It's the task force as far as I'm aware. However he can still override their decisions.
