Mark D. Levine:Chair of New York City Council health committee.
"NYC’s healthcare system is being pushed to the limit. And sadly, now so is the city’s system for managing our dead. And it, too, needs more resources. This has big implications for grieving families. And for all of us.
NYC’s “city morgue” is the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME), which luckily is the best in the world. But they are now dealing w/ the equivalent of an ongoing 9/11. And so are hospital morgues, funeral homes & cemeteries. Every part of this system is now backed up.
A typical hospital morgue might hold 15 bodies. Those are now all full. So OCME has sent out 80 refrigerated trailers to hospitals around the city. Each trailer can hold 100 bodies. These are now mostly full too. Some hospitals have had to add a 2nd or even a 3rd trailer
Grieving families report calling as many as half a dozen funeral homes and finding none that can handle their deceased loved ones. Cemeteries are not able to handle the number of burial requests and are turning most down.
It’s not just deaths in hospitals which are up. On an average day before this crisis there were 20-25 deaths at home in NYC. Now in the midst of this pandemic the number is 200-215. *Every day*.
Early on in this crisis we were able to swab people who died at home, and thus got a coronavirus reading. But those days are long gone. We simply don't have the testing capacity for the large numbers dying at home.
Now only those few who had a test confirmation *before* dying are marked as victims of coronavirus on their death certificate. This almost certainly means we are undercounting the total number of victims of this pandemic.
And still the number of bodies continues to increase. The freezers at OCME facilities in Manhattan and Brooklyn will soon be full. And then what?
Soon we'll start “temporary interment”. This likely will be done by using a NYC park for burials (yes you read that right). Trenches will be dug for 10 caskets in a line. It will be done in a dignified, orderly--and temporary--manner. But it will be tough for NYers to take.
The goal is to avoid scenes like those in Italy, where the military was forced to collect bodies from churches and even off the streets. OCME is going to need much more staff to achieve that goal.
Thankfully the Dept. of Defense and the NY National Guard have already sent teams, and volunteer medical examiners have come from around the country. But we are going to need much more help if we're going to avoid disaster.
As New York City continues to appeal to the nation for help, we need to ask not just for doctors and nurses and respiratory therapists. We also need mortuary affairs staff. This is tough to talk about and maybe tough to ask for. But we have no choice. The stakes are too high.
To recap: Nothing matters more in this crisis than saving the living. But we need to face the gruesome reality that we need more resources to manage our dead as well. Or the pain of this crisis will be compounded almost beyond comprehension.

Danimarca ed Austria cominceranno dalla prossima settimana ad aprire qualcosa..
Denmark joined Austria in announcing a gradual relaxation of measures imposed to slow the novel coronavirus, as attention in Europe began to turn to exit strategies once the worst of the pandemic passes.
Denmark will press ahead with a “cautious reopening” starting with kindergartens and primary schools on April 15 if the virus numbers remain stable, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said at a press briefing in Copenhagen on Monday evening. The government will also start talks with business leaders on gradually moving employees back into offices, Frederiksen said.
Denmark’s cases are “going in the right direction,” but some restrictions will remain in place for months to come, she said. “We’ve managed to avoid the misfortune that has befallen a number of other countries,” Frederiksen said. “The only reason for that” is that “we acted early.”
Denmark and Austria were among the first countries in Europe to shut down public life in response to the Covid-19 outbreak that first emerged in China. Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz earlier announced the first steps to restart his country’s economy, with small retailers, hardware and gardening stores allowed to reopen after Easter, to be followed by the opening of all stores from May 1.

Visto il significativo movimento dell'oro di oggi alcune riflessioni sul metallo giallo. nel breve periodo esso si trova fortemente correlato all'andamento delle aspettative dei tassi reali che avendo oscillato vorticosamente nelle ultime settimane hanno trascinato con se lo stabilizzatore della volatilità.. IL fatto che l'oro abbia questo legame con i tassi reali potrebbe fare un po da freno alla sua corsa. Infatti con i tassi USA ancorati a zero una possibile nuova spinta inflazionistica derivante dalle manovre fiscali USA e globali potrebbe creare un buon competitore reale alle forza dell'oro.
Dall'altra parte c'è la sua straordinaria performance verso il petrolio che lo pone, anche nei confronti del prezzo del petrolio a 12 mesi, prezzo meno caratterizzato dalla volatilità del prezzo spot mostra una certa sovraquotazione dell'oro che deve essere almeno in parte riassorbita o dalla debolezza dell'oro o dalla forza del petrolio.
Questi due elementi dovrebbero far pensare ad una debolezza dell'oro; questa potrebbe manfestarsi sul breve ma nel medio lungo a mio avviso le politiche iperaccomodanti delle banche centrali non potranno che fare del bene al prezzo dell'oro magari dopo che la fase negativa dei mercati azionari esaurisce gli effetti e l'economia riparte con una certa decisione, segno che la liquidità non finisce più nel buco nero del mercato shadow dell'eurodollaro ma comincia a fluire su tutte le componenti economiche... La storia recente delle crisi economiche ci insegna questo... L'oro segue la debolezza dei mercati azionari nella prima fase della correzione ma quando intervengono le cannoniere monetarie comincia ad andare meglio e non segue sui nuovi minimi il mercato.

Mia moglie, sempre attenta alla salute di suo figlio peloso, mi ha fatto presente che gli unici animali che trasmettono il virus sono gli asini che vanno in giro senza mascherina...Questo fatto ha delle implicazioni veramente ma veramente brutte...rischiamo di creare serbatoi virali nel mondo animale e non liberarcene più....ogni anno giù il gettone, altro giro altro regalo.....
