Trump's slowness in sending ventilators to New York state under fire

[DrLove]

Right! We all know President Trump is sitting on top of a YUUUUUGE pile of ventilators and he is not sending them because he is mad at Cuomo. Tune in to CNN for the latest on this scandal!

Under the Defense Production Act, the President is authorized to order the mass production of ventilators.

Instead, Trump once again sat around with his thumb up his ass.

It is positively amazing how slow on the uptake this alternate reality TV clown has been at every point of this pandemic.

He is far beyond negligent.

See post 84, Dummy.

SO YOURE TOO F'N STUPID TO KNOW TRUMP SHOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING ABOUT VENTILATORS TWO MONTHS AGO.

GOT IT

Um, Cuomo nixed buying 16,000 ventilators in 2015 to prepare for this................but it's Trump's fault.


Hospitals in New York are running short. To his credit, Gov. Andrew Cuomo is doing his best, but he admits “you can’t find available ventilators no matter how much you’re willing to pay right now, because there is literally a global run on ventilators.”

It’s a little late. Several years ago, after learning that the Empire State’s stockpile of medical equipment had 16,000 fewer ventilators than the 18,000 New Yorkers would need in a severe pandemic, state public-health leaders came to a fork in the road.

They could have chosen to buy more ventilators to back up the supplies hospitals maintain. Instead, the health commissioner, Howard Zucker, assembled a task force for rationing the ventilators they already had.

In 2015, that task force came up with rules that will be imposed when ventilators run short. Patients assigned a red code will have highest access, and other patients will be assigned green, yellow or blue (the worst), depending on a “triage officer’s” decision.

In truth, a death officer. Let’s not sugar-coat it. It won’t be up to your own doctor.

We didn’t have to have ventilator shortage â leaders chose not to prep for pandemic

In 2015, the state could have purchased the additional 16,000 needed ventilators for $36,000 apiece, or a total of $576 million. It’s a lot of money, but in hindsight, spending half a percent of the budget to prepare for pandemic was the right thing to do.

Sorry your thread got killed Nostril - But to answer your question:

Yep - STOOOPID to mothball expensive medical equipment for a once in 100 year pandemic.

And then when you dust it off, you realize that the crap you wasted butt-tons of taxpayer dollars on is no longer state of the art.

National emergencies require a NATIONAL response. Dear Leader has failed.

GEE THANKS - 5 f'n years ago

theres a 5 year gap in your brain filling up with horseshit.

NY can buy their own fucking ventilators!

They are all ready getting 4 hospitals built plus the USS comfort FOR FREE!

The president ain't gonna give the whole nations resources to one state!

He refused 16,000 in 2015. He could now have 16,000 ventilators. He said Trumped stopped him in 15.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

The president has been reluctant to use the Defense Production Act to compel private companies to produce ventilators, masks and other equipment hospitals are clamoring for, arguing they are doing so without being explicitly asked by the federal government.

Meanwhile, New York City has emerged as the epicenter of the pandemic in the United States. More than 20,000 people there have been infected and more than 300 have died of the virus as of Thursday night.

Cuomo on Tuesday pleaded with the federal government to provide the state with tens of thousands of additional ventilators to help address the expected influx of coronavirus cases. He projected that the state would need 30,000 of the breathing machines, leaving New York just over 20,000 short.

Trump questions need for 30,000 ventilators in New York

Why doesn't Cuomo ask NY companies to produce them? Oh sorry, he ran most mfg out of NY.

I knew it was just a matter of time before these retards would get all biblical. The same tards who defend to the death the most immoral president we have ever had.

As I keep reminding them, they amputated their moral legs at the hip the day they submitted their souls to Trump.

This is exactly why I started a topic about Psalm 52 a few weeks ago.

Why do you boast of evil, you mighty hero?
Why do you boast all day long,
you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?

You who practice deceit,
your tongue plots destruction;
it is like a sharpened razor.
You love evil rather than good,
falsehood rather than speaking the truth.
You love every harmful word,
you deceitful tongue!

Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin:
He will snatch you up and pluck you from your tent;
he will uproot you from the land of the living.

The righteous will see and fear;
they will laugh at you, saying,

“Here now is the man
who did not make God his stronghold
but trusted in his great wealth
and grew strong by destroying others!”

And somehow you can read trumps heart. Lol. You are a laugher.

His actions speak very loudly, tard. He's a buffon, a cretin, a pathological liar, an idiot, a thief, a huckster, a disgrace, a total disaster.

This is who you submissive cucks adore.

Pathetic.

Yeah, O was all of that. A snake oil huckster who hated this country to the core. Trumps actions are of a sovereign country. You're a globalist just like the rest of the liberal socialists.

 

[Muhammed]

The CDC required reserves wasn't that big.......and New York got 4000 of them...........not many left if anyone else needs them..............if there are any left now at all........

They gotta adapt and manufacturing is gonna have to make more.

The CDC shouldn't be sending ventilators to any sanctuary cities.

After Considering $1 Billion Price Tag for Ventilators, White House Has Second Thoughts (Published 2020)

A deal with General Motors and Ventec Life Systems to produce tens of thousands of the critical lifesaving devices seemed imminent. Then the announcement was pulled back.

www.nytimes.com

The White House had been preparing to reveal on Wednesday a joint venture between General Motors and Ventec Life Systems that would allow for the production of as many as 80,000 desperately needed ventilators to respond to an escalating pandemic when word suddenly came down that the announcement was off.

The decision to cancel the announcement, government officials say, came after the Federal Emergency Management Agency said it needed more time to assess whether the estimated cost was prohibitive. That price tag was more than $1 billion, with several hundred million dollars to be paid upfront to General Motors to retool a car parts plant in Kokomo, Ind., where the ventilators would be made with Ventec’s technology.


This planet is going to need a lot more than 80,000 ventilators. We could easily recoup the cost to build them.

This is despite the fact that the US needs a total of 750,000 to fight the pandemic according to EXPERTS. There’s also the grim prediction that 80,000 Americans could be dead by July based on the exponential rate of infection.

Do Trump reporters automatically buy into this bullshit simply because Trump says it? Can they not think for themselves? Can they not see how fucking stupid Trump is!

You see how Drumpf initially handled the crisis. You would think he would have learned from his earlier fuckups but thats not going to be the case.

There are only so many ventilators to go around. New York ain't the ONLY state.

Question. Could he have used those 16,000 ventilators he was advised to get, and at a good pricet? Do you even know that? CNN didn't tell you that?

Is Trump supposed to hold Cuomos peter when he pees?

Is it possible to have too many ventilators?

And if Montana asks for ventilators and there were none left you liberals would blame Trump.

The state of New York is supposed to be the model for Progressive socialist genius. Massively high taxes paying for every whim under the sun. Even denying jobs from companies by their politicians. And it comes to the feds with cup in hand when the chitt hits the fan.

Funny, just a few weeks ago Governor Cuomo was saying that New York has the best healthcare system in the world as was completely prepared for Chinese Coronavirus.




Maybe if he didn’t spend all his time Tweeting about the unfair Pink Tax, obsess about “hate crimes”, or complain about the Federal government wanting to enforce federal laws in his state, he wouldn’t now be begging the Feds to do his job for him. He went from trying to sue the Feds to now begging them for help.
