I am not giving up.

Cuomo referred to US President Donald Trump and his statements about an early economic recovery and an end to current restrictions. "No American will say, 'Get the economy going for the loss of life ,'" said the governor.

New York with the metropolis of the same name is by far the worst hit by the crisis. The numbers and infections are far higher than in any other US state.

President Donald Trump said Monday at the White House in Washington that he had signed an order to ban and punish such behavior.

Corona crisis in the US: Trump wants to take action against hoarding protective masks

Accordingly, certain medical products should be officially classified as scarce goods . Such critical products are then prohibited from hoarding them in large quantities and reselling them at exorbitant prices. Nobody should take advantage of the current plight of the Americans, Trump emphasized.

So far, however, products have not yet been classified in the new category, US Secretary of Justice William Barr reported. However, initial investigations in this area have already started. If you have a large supply of toilet paper at home, you don't have to worry. "But if you're sitting in a warehouse with surgical masks, we'll knock on your door," Barr announced.

Corona crisis in the US: Texan Vice Governor makes absurd demand

Meanwhile, Dan Patrick, Vice Governor of Texas, has raised a controversial thesis in connection with the Corona crisis. He believes the economy cannot be sacrificed to the corona crisis , said the politician, according to a Spiegel.de report that cited a television interview with Fox News. Patrick thinks that there is at least a need to discuss whether the older citizens should not be sacrificed. "I think there are a lot of grandparents like me out there , I have six grandchildren. I don't want the whole country to be sacrificed, ”said the Texas governor.

Nobody asked him as an older citizen if he would risk his life in exchange for the America that everyone would love. He himself is ready to give his life. It is extremely questionable whether many other older citizens see it the same way.

First message from March 24, 2020: Washington - The corona virus is spreading at a rapid pace in the United States *. According to current John Hopkins University figures, there are currently more than 46,000 infected and 593 deaths in the United States (as of March 24, 10 a.m.).

Corona crisis in the US: emergency plans come into effect if Trump becomes infected with Covid-19

US President Donald Trump * has already had contact with corona quarantine * cases - however, his first Covid 19 test was negative . If Trump is still infected and becomes more seriously ill, the US military has now developed controversial emergency plans. They are also said to be used when the virus cripples Congress or the Supreme Court. First, the US portal Newsweek reported on these plans.

As a result, the plans consider both evacuation of Washington and the possibility of military officials temporarily governing from quarantine. According to a senior officer in the reports, the original emergency plan after September 11 was rejected. The officer also revealed what the new plan would look like: General Terrence J. O'Shaughnessy , the "commander of the combatants" for the United States, should take the lead in the country if the top government members fell ill with Covid-19 lung disease .

The general is a 55-year-old command pilot from Canada who moved to the United States at the age of four. He is currently the commander of the Northcom Military Agency , which was founded after September 11, 2001. Before that, he was Vice-Commander of the United Nations in Korea.

Corona crisis in the US: Military commanders can even declare martial law

What legitimizes the U.S. military's emergency plans: According to U.S. Department of Defense regulations from 2018, military commanders can choose to temporarily take over military control in an emergency if the president's approval is impossible or if the local authorities fail to do so Can no longer control the situation. Military commanders could even declare martial law , but only on the condition that civil rule be restored as soon as possible.

In fact, the military government only has to intervene in very specific cases: when a nuclear weapon is fired at an American city or when citizens in American cities seek protection and quarrel over food. A third possible reason for the military to intervene is the complete evacuation of Washington. So far, all three events are unlikely - and the same applies to a temporary takeover by the US military. But it would be possible.

If the military does have to intervene, Secretary of Defense Mark T. Esper is said to have asked Northcom to develop nationwide pandemic plans in early February . According to Newsweek , there are seven secret plans, three of which revolve around traffic. They are intended to support the government and the entire White House in the evacuation and operation of alternative locations .

Corona crisis in the United States: The three military emergency plans at a glance

• 1. "Rescue & Evacuation of the Occupants of the Executive Mansion" (RESEM): The plan describes the rescue and evacuation of the so-called "Executive Mansion", which is responsible for the protection of Trump *, Vice President Mike Pence and the families of the two .
• 2. "Joint Emergency Evacuation Plan" (JEEP): This involves the transportation of the Secretary of Defense and other security leaders so that they can leave the Washington area.
• 3. "Atlas": This plan outlines how non-military leaders (for example, congressional leaders and the Supreme Court) are transferred to their emergency locations. A secret bunker is activated and cordoned off, and government operations would also be relocated to the US state of Maryland.

Three other plans call on military units in Washington DC, North Carolina and east Maryland to defend government operations in the event of a total failure. A seventh plan deals with exceptional issues relating to weapons of mass destruction, writes Bild.de .

Corona crisis in the United States: curfews hit 80 million Americans

Fortunately, while the U.S. military's emergency plans have so far been futuristic, some measures to curb the spread of coronavirus are already taking effect . For example, 80 million Americans , or almost a quarter of the American population, are affected by more or less strict curfews . Such restrictions existed in California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Illinois .

But Trump recently also indicated that he would soon be loosening many of the restrictions. The reason for this is probably his concern about the consequences of the corona measures for the American economy *. "We cannot allow the cure to be worse than the problem," Trump announced on Twitter, among other things.

WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF. AT THE END OF THE 15 DAY PERIOD, WE WILL MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHICH WAY WE WANT TO GO!

* In an earlier version of this article, we wrote that an Arizona couple died of a drug after President Donald Trump recommended it. This is not correct. Trump's recommendation is a drug that is named after an active ingredient that is also used to clean aquariums. The couple had taken the aquarium cleaning agent and is seriously ill, the man died as a result.
