Isnt Vice President Mike Pence the head of the federal coronavirus task force, serving as the point person for the administration in their policies and procedures as well as coordinating efforts across the nation?DCHawk1 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 29, 2020 9:48 amhttps://www.freep.com/story/news/local/ ... 077623002/
Michigan has not yet requested a major disaster declaration for the coronavirus, a spokesman for the Federal Emergency Management Agency said Wednesday.
The administration of President Donald Trump has already declared major disasters for Texas, Florida, Iowa, Louisiana, New York, California and Washington, officials confirmed.
But for Michigan, where the number of confirmed cases topped 2,200 Wednesday, with at least 43 deaths, "FEMA has not yet received a request for a major disaster declaration," spokesman Michael Hart said.
Tiffany Brown, a spokeswoman for Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, said Wednesday morning that state officials were "reviewing and looking into" a request to FEMA. By Wednesday afternoon, after the Free Press published a story on the issue, Brown said officials were "working urgently" on a disaster request. She did not immediately respond to a question about why the request was not completed sooner....
Whitmer has repeatedly called on Trump to declare a national disaster in connection with the pandemic and did obtain a limited disaster designation for the purposes of accessing federal small business loans. That designation is separate from a major disaster declaration for a stand does not come through FEMA, officials said.
Shorter version: She was bitching at Trump for dragging his heels, when the state hadn't done its part yet.

If the federal government's aid is only available to states if they follow a specific order of tasks such as submitting specific forms to specific agencies, then competent leadership would spend their time on calls with every single governor of every single state to know these requirements and help them work through the process as fast as possible. If Pence has reached out to every single governor and this information has not been shared then he is incompetent.
He's also doing them at 5:00pm because he knows they cut in to the Network National News.Feral wrote: ↑Sun Mar 29, 2020 3:57 pm Among the reasons Trump changed the briefings to 5:00pm from in the morning, is because Andrew Cuomo was following Trump's briefings in the morning, and eating his lunch by appearing to be something Trump could never hope to be, competent.
Unfortunately for the local TV stations, they can't collect money for commercials they aren't showing for > 1 hour, and they're feeling it.
And?
