  • Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2020 Remarks on Coronavirus

    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2020 Remarks on Coronavirus

    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2020 Remarks on Coronavirus Vaccine Development November 13, 2020 The President. Thank you very much. Thank you. It's beautiful out here this time of year. In the past 9 months, my administration has initiated the single greatest mobilization in U.S. history, pioneering, developing, and manufacturing therapies and vaccines in record time. Numbers like nobody has seen before. No medical breakthrough of this scope and magnitude has ever been achieved this rapidly, this quickly. And we're very proud of it, and I had tremendous help from the military—generals, admirals—and many of the great people at the White House. Operation Warp Speed is unequaled and unrivaled anywhere in the world, and leaders of other countries have called me to congratulate us on what we've been able to do, and we've helped many countries with their ventilators and all of the problems they were having. And I'd like to congratulate everyone involved in this effort. It's been an incredible effort. As a result of Operation Warp Speed, Pfizer announced on Monday that its "China virus" vaccine is more than 90-percent effective. This far exceeds any and all expectations. Nobody thought they'd get to that level. And we have others coming which we think will be at equal level—maybe more, if that's possible. In July, my administration reached an agreement with Pfizer to provide $1.95 billion to support the mass manufacturing and distribution of 100 million doses, with the option to purchase a total of 600 million doses shortly thereafter.

The newspaper reported on Friday that the FDA is likely to issue the EUA by Friday evening, citing people familiar with the agency’s planning. It had reported on Thursday night that the FDA would announce the news on Saturday. Swift clearance of the vaccine was widely expected after a panel of expert advisers to the FDA on Thursday endorsed its emergency use to help stem a pandemic that has killed more than 285,000 people in the United States.

    How Complexity Anticipates Black Swans – the 2020 Market Crash

    How Complexity Anticipates Black Swans – the 2020 Market Crash. April, 26th 2020 The 2020 stock market crash was a global stock market crash that began on 20 February 2020. On 12 February, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the NASDAQ Composite, and S&P 500 Index all finished at record highs (while the NASDAQ and S&P 500 reached subsequent record highs on 19 February). From 24 to 28 February, stock markets worldwide reported their largest one-week declines since the 2008 financial crisis, thus entering a correction. Global markets into early March became extremely volatile, with large swings occurring in global markets. On 9 March, most global markets reported severe contractions, mainly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and an oil price war between Russia and the OPEC countries led by Saudi Arabia. This became colloquially known as Black Monday. At the time, it was the worst drop since the Great Recession in 2008. During March 2020, global stocks saw a downturn of at least 25%, and 30% in most G20 nations. Complexity tends to peak, or increases rapidly, prior to a crisis. Financial markets are no exception. We have devised new complexity-based indices for anticipating Black Swans. One such index, which we call C3, has worked egregiously in major European markets, offering early warnings ranging from 40 to 220 hours before the February 2020 collapse. Below are the charts of the said indices together with the corresponding C3 index. The dashed red line indicates when C3 peaks, triggering a shorting signal, while the blue dashed line coincides with the commencing of the downfall.

    COVID-19: This Week's News, Insights + AAR Tips Weekly Quick Insights for Your Situational Awareness and Benchmarking

    May 8, 2020 | ISSUE 7 COVID-19: This Week's News, Insights + AAR Tips Weekly quick insights for your situational awareness and benchmarking. Health vs. Economics. What are the health and economic tradeoffs to states reopening ahead of schedule? Calculate them for yourself here. RAND Corp. has created this interactive assessment tool to help policymakers understand the impact of their decisions. Counting Down to Re-Opening in the West. The Western States Pact has all member states initiating their reopening actions over the next 7 days. But Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and California’s plans still limit large, in-person gatherings (i.e. concerts and live sports) until there is a coronavirus vaccine. But, Are We Meeting the Benchmarks? Technically...not really. Although most states in the country (about 30 altogether) have begun reopening their economies, most have not met White House guidelines. In fact, many are seeing an increase in daily average cases, instead of a decline. Who is Most Affected Now? Like other emergencies, the coronavirus is disproportionately affecting Black, Brown, poor, and elderly communities. The Institute for Diversity and Inclusion in Emergency Management (I-DIEM) is offering virtual townhalls and publishing articles to help emergency managers figure out what to do about it. Have a Story to Share? Thought you might. The biggest emergency management conference of the year is still on. If you have an impactful coronavirus experience or presentation to share, submit your speaker application before IAEM’s extended deadline (June 1st). Every week, we’ll dedicate space for a topic that we think is especially important for emergency managers to read.
