Personnel to be deployed to New York will include doctors, nurses, and respiratory specialists.

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said Saturday he is deploying 1,000 medical personnel to New York City to help battle the coronavirus.

The number of confirmed cases in the U.S. has now topped 297,600, and 8,000 deaths have been reported. Worldwide, more than 1.7 million cases have been confirmed and 63,000 deaths reported. On Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advised people to start wearing cloth face masks in public to stop the spread of the coronavirus. The CDC had previously urged people not to wear masks. Trump, who announced the new guidelines, stressed that they are strictly voluntary and that he probably would not wear a mask.

Meanwhile, New York said it is getting 1,000 life-saving ventilators from China to aid its battle against the virus. The ventilators were expected to arrive Saturday at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced at a news conference on Saturday. The Chinese government facilitated the effort connected to Alibaba, the massive online retailer in China, Cuomo said.

To go to other countries and kill people there are people but for internal security and the health of Americans there is no way. Like what wars are there for the financiers and not for the security and the health of which the American countries of the tax.

GOOD!!!!

Peanuts

Okay but the US needs to bring the rate of infections down hard or the health system will be completely overwhelmed in weeks and given some states don't appear to be taking COVID-19 seriously, I have grave fears for the amount of infected and dead...

DeBlasio & Barbot screwed up royally telling NYers to attend the Chinese New Year’s parade & festivities & going about business as usual.

NewYork is the US epicenter of covid Latest updates | cases per million population👇 Covid_19 Covid19Out

OUR PLANET IS DYING FROM CLIMATE CHANGE CAUSED BY BURNING FOSSIL FUELS! FLOODS,FIRES,DROUGHTS,CYCLONES,TORNADOES,ICE MELT ON POLES,SEA LEVEL RISE WILL INCREASE! WE HAVE CLIMATE EMERGENCY! BERNIE IS OUR ONLY HOPE! OTHERS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S HAPPENING,TRUMP'S THE WORST ONE!

To do what exactly

Medical staff; mostly, doctors, nurses and medical technicians.

To do... What? Attack the virus with military force.

What are they suppose to do? He’s just send the troops to get the corona virus. They aren’t going to be there for crowd control. Most everyone is staying in their homes anyway. I swear, he has no common sense at all.

Every one of those health care workers have more courage and morality than any of Trump and his stooges. They deserve our honor, our respect, and a much better president who wont leave them standing out in the cold

After the fact!!! Potus is 3 months behind, and a parrot on what he hears on all others things.

To do what? They need PPE and vents.

Prediction: Trump will try to claim credit for reducing the count if it’s below or near the low range (The real billionaire Bill Gates stated yesterday that with work being done by the responsible governors it should be lower) in an attempt to rewrite history on his huge fumble

does he expext people to be upset and disorderly ?

hah hah

Will they be know as 6 Feet Space Force?

Notice he never says WHEN !

What they going to do: shoot the virus on 5th avenue?

hchawlah Such a moron. It’s not a battle. The city needs doctors, para medicals, PPEs, shelter homes for the poor, home delivery of essentials, more cash to needy, et al. Let the army go back to the barracks.

Umm...we aren’t suppose to be gathering in large numbers.

I support Trump, but for the love of fuck just help that city out. This constant bickering about supplies and help is ridiculous. Just get them what they need.

I bet he is lying.

About time!!

*pew pew pew*

How about enacting Defense Production Act instead of trying to open the country backup. Ramp up production of personal protective equipment like legislation to include an expansive infrastructure program.

Did they know they were going before now or is this like what happened to Google?

Why? Is he going to try to arrest Cuomo?

And 1000 of them are gonna get sick.

Good call... Finally! Military personnel's visibility would assist on safety & security!

You guys really talk shite! He said there 1500 military on the ground and sending extra military by Tuesday! Rubbish newspaper how are you layoffs as your paper is shite and doesn’t sell!

Frank Sinatra's New York

He's lying.... what happened to 'everyone can get tested'

The President is a Lying Corrupt Racist Criminal with Blood On His Hands.

He said that yesterday.

To do what? They have their own national guard. What they need are ventilators, masks and gloves and gowns!

To all those in New York.. it’s about to get wild.

Still no real plan. Just haphazard talk.

Yes, New York owes the federal government, federal workers and the citizens and taxpayers a debt of gratitude.

Thanks for disturbing my reeun of golf, which is more that I need to see, than you wanting face time. Wesh tv in Orlando YYY ? Did u need to take my only happy time away from me and show this, other stations don't bother anymore, Y U ? Help us out& stp showing him,its a lie

If that can bring the solution...

Condolences in advance

As long as Trump is president, America will continue to write her own eulogy. realDonaldTrump
