And the next aid package should be FOCUSED on the need. $ for testing & scaling vaccine, $ for states for their lost revenues, $ for businesses to keep people on payroll but this MUST be focused on the businesses actually affected, and $ for SNAP, healthcare, individual stimulus — PolitiTweet.org

Fourth, no amount of money spent on the development of a treatment and vaccine is too much. The only way to beat this virus is with scientific innovation and that requires an investment. The global public-private cooperation on the scientific front is extraordinary — PolitiTweet.org

Third, move to reopen most things with the exception of concerts, bars, live sporting events, gatherings of more than 50 people. etc. Combine this with a requirement to wear masks in public and appropriate social distancing and the likelihood of transmission appears low. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

Second, broad testing is absolutely required. Our goal should be tests everywhere - regularly sent to people’s home via amazon etc. – coupled with intense contact tracing and technology apps to trace our steps. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

First, our go forward strategy should be focused on isolating the elderly/vulnerable who are – by far – the most vulnerable. If we want to reduce deaths, we must quarantine the people most likely to die from the virus and ensure that everyone who interacts with them is tested. — PolitiTweet.org

What has been learned from our own experience and in other countries and how should we apply it? — PolitiTweet.org

Mr. Axelrod and Mr. Plouffe had another way of communicating this message to Joe Biden - pick up the phone and call him instead of writing an oped! https://t.co/jW0i6hBXCD — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

Case counts correlate with testing. In some ways the more cases that get reported the better job we are doing because it means we have done more tests. The tragedy of this virus is not in the number of reported cases, it's in the number of deaths. https://t.co/VagNVSOoTJ — PolitiTweet.org

Even after a vaccine, air travel will change, although probably not as drastically as some are predicting. The industry will be smaller, tickets will be more expensive and fewer people will work in the industry. https://t.co/zGODUKsG8y — PolitiTweet.org

The amount of international collaboration on developing a vaccine for Covid is extraordinary https://t.co/J3VMMcwQsk — PolitiTweet.org

It looks like the airlines got a good deal on thier warrants with the government pre-Buffet announcing his very bearish view on the long term prospects of the airline business. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

A great way for big businesses to give back is to partner with the government, donate a sizable sum, and help launch a massive contact tracing Public Health program. Government and business share the cost and certain responsibilities. That's a model that could scale fast. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

Experts believe we have vaccine in a year & then things return to normal. We therefore need to be laser focused on how we get thru the next year w/ the best public health outcomes while we reopen parts of the economy. Looking back or overly analyzing post-covid is a distraction — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

People who want to open now have to understand that elected officials are trying to do their best and keep people safe. But people with guaranteed jobs have to understand that small business owners have to put food on the table and don't want to lose their business. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @mcuban: @JohnDelaney Probably because they switched to a batch approach. They should be able to resolve duplicates the same way — PolitiTweet.org

"If you were to pick one time to be born and one place to be born, you'd pick today. And you would pick America" - Warren Buffet He's right, of course. Despite current challenges, we have made tremendous progress across time. And once this is over, that progress will continue. — PolitiTweet.org

Of course Secretariat won, was that ever a question? He ran each quarter mile faster than the previous and still holds the course record. This was no contest. If Man O War would have run, he would have made it more competitive, but Secretariat unbeatable https://t.co/1WCMVLlVSW — PolitiTweet.org

COVID shows the need for the US to move to a universal healthcare system, where every citizen has healthcare coverage. Many ways of achieving this goal, my plan was like the German model, others favor a single payer. How we get there is less important than agreeing on the goal. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

@mcuban Correct except for one thing. Community banks are saying that in last 24 hours multiple approvals are flowing out of SBA. Probably a glitch is system related to certain fintech companies getting their loans into SBA without the SBA system picking up tax ID. Big problem. — PolitiTweet.org

Experts believe we have a vaccine in a year & then everything will change & the world will be a lot closer to pre-covid than now. What's the best plan for the next year is THE question. How do we learn from experience and data and both reduce fatalities and restore the economy? — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

Hard to draw conclusions. South Korea obviously handled this much better and perhaps experience with MERS and SARS was the reason. US is performing about the same/slightly better than most. Interestingly, Sweden performing average but they didn't go into lockdown. — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

Countries that had dealt with SARS were better prepared. That's an obvious fact that no one seems to acknowledge. They had masks, they wore them (we were told not to in the beginning) they had experience with social distancing and quarantine. — PolitiTweet.org

Those reporting have to focus on the right metrics. COVID cases is not the right metric for measuring this - that number is correlated with testing - multiples of the reported cases exist in undiagnosed cases. Fatalities, hospital capacity & frontline health metrics matter more — PolitiTweet.org

John Delaney 🇺🇸 @JohnDelaney

.@repmcgovern @mcgovernforMA has recently led the push for Congress to vote remotely but he has also been doing God's work for a very long time by leading the fight to end hunger and food insecurity in our country - a problem that COVID has made worse. https://t.co/6ss4R05EmE — PolitiTweet.org

No matter what our views may be about the various decisions states are making to reopen, we should all root for everyone to succeed. — PolitiTweet.org

After this is over we will need entrepreneurs to reawaken and rebuild our economy and society. People to start businesses, non profits and social enterprises. These are the people that will create jobs, rebuild communities and solve some of our most vexing problems. — PolitiTweet.org
