That’s more than MSNBC and I didn’t get them all.

Really. And she implied that he’s “old” and shouldn’t be around people.

The White House had been due to announce the joint venture between the two companies on Wednesday until Trump administration officials baulked at the $1bn bill to taxpayers.

https://www.bbc.com/news/52071611

Earlier Friday, The New York Times reported that GM and Ventec, with which it is partnering to build such supplies, wanted more than $1 billion, including hundreds of millions upfront to GM to retool a car parts plant in Kokomo, Indiana, to make the ventilators.

GM said it is donating its resources to produce the ventilators, known as VOCSN, at cost.

Trump orders General Motors to make ventilators under Defense Production Act

He's using a heavy hand.

Donald Trump orders GM to produce ventilators

Here is MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Sec. 2. Presidential Direction to the Secretary of Health and Human Services (Secretary). The Secretary shall use any and all authority available under the Act to require General Motors Company to accept, perform, and prioritize contracts or orders for the number of ventilators that the Secretary determines to be appropriate.

He said “attacked since 1917”. Did he mean 1941? The media will blab about this for the next 2 days.

I see - he meant “spanish flu” which was about 1917.

I envision Warehouses full of 1000’s of unused Ventilators at the end of this Pandemic.

I will look like the Warehouse at the end of the first Indiana Jones Movie.

Yep. "U.S. Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician."

Question on hospital capacity. Okay, what is the controlling factor? Beds? Type of equipment in the room, ventilators being the subject de jour, doctors, nurses? Trump's answer is just on the beds.

Trump says the government is TAKING ventilators. To me this is expediting an assembly and test process using existing inventory of parts.

Beds.

There is a list, that I found a couple of weeks ago, that listed every hospital in the country, with the number of beds, and, the number of ICU beds.

So, of your overall number of beds, in a given hospital, there are only so many ICU beds.

In the US, ICU beds are already about 60% occupied (on average), NYC ICU beds run at about 80%.

It will morph into ‘Andrew Cuomo and the Ventilators’ by the time the DNC Convention starts.

C-SPAN has it. No talking heads.

Back to back “cough into the hand.” One by Sonny Purdue, then within a minute, one by Denton McLane.

I am moved by how vital the federal government is for education, and that the mandatory federal testing is being deferred. And that the feds micromanage food service for the needy.
