The Republicans who run the sensible parts of the state thought that they were prepared... until the fascist Democrats decided to loot them.
Democrat areas will steal all of the equipment and never give it back.

Idiot. So if cuomo sends 2593 patients, you're going to accept them all? DId you ask if all the beds were filled?
Is this another medical insurance transportation scam? (When I was discharged from a hospital they wouldn't allow a friend of mine to pick me up. They made me wait 2 hours for an Uber. Turns out that these uber drivers love picking up patients because they get paid about $250 a ride.
Did cuomo send convid-19 inmates upstate?
Everyone Jumps Off Bridge After New Government Order Telling Everyone To Jump Off Bridge!
https://babylonbee.com/img/articles/article-5902-1.jpg
U.S.—After state governments across the country directed their citizens to shut down their businesses and just kinda hope things worked out, a new order has been issued: everyone is to jump off a bridge immediately.
A government official issued the order to solve our current crisis, and everyone immediately complied.
“Everyone jump off a bridge,” said a representative of the government.
“OK,” said everyone. “If the government says so, it’s probably a good idea. Besides, what can we do? It’s the government. They definitely have the best people working on it.”
The directive was designed to end coronavirus. Medical experts believe it’s the best, most effective way to stop the virus.
Assuming everyone follows through and obeys the order, coronavirus will be wiped out, according to officials. There are no bad side effects, as far as anyone can tell.
A few people pointed out that it could kill everyone, but these people are anti-science and obviously hate their neighbors.

“Not one.”
EXACTLY. Our brave pols could even affix their signatures to the latest XXXTRILLION tax/debt-slavery bill.
Not one.
Very well-stated, Gramps. BUMP!
The Republicans who run the sensible parts of the state thought that they were prepared... until the fascist Democrats decided to loot them.

I will add, Nipples O’Doomo has decreed NURSING HOMES up here must take Commie Chinese Flu patients. NURSING HOMES!
Meanwhile, this jackass “Governor is waiting for his apex in NYC - screw any other part of the state -and demanding everybody pay attention to him and help him.
He is SO like my ex-husband. Creates a mess willfully and then expects everyone around him to pick up the pieces. Egomaniacal megalomaniac.
“Nursing homes that have been taking extreme measures to keep out COVID-19 are now going to have to accept new residents diagnosed with the virus.
“The state Department of Health sent out a notice informing every nursing home of the rule last week.
“It was not greeted with enthusiasm.
“At The Pines in Glens Falls, workers found technicalities to refuse two hospital transfers this week. While they found allowable reasons to say no, their real concern was that they don’t believe they have secure facilities to separate those residents from others.
“The state’s new rule was the subject of a “very frank” conversation at Monday’s conference call among all local nursing homes, said Fort Hudson CEO Andy Cruikshank.
“We don’t think it’s advisable to do it. However, understanding we are in very peculiar times, I understand the Health Department is trying to respond to the situation as best they can,” he said.
“The Health Department is trying to move people out of hospitals quickly as beds fill up with coronavirus patients.
“There is an urgent need to expand hospital capacity in New York state to be able to meet the demand for patients with COVID-19 requiring acute care,” the state said in its letter to nursing homes.
“Cruikshank proposed they only require nursing homes to take the patients if the hospital is full, but his suggestion was not accepted.
“Elderly patients who are stable, but still recovering from the virus, often need to go to a nursing and rehabilitation home for a period of time before they are able to live independently again.
“But deliberately bringing the virus into the nursing home seems to fly in the face of other regulations: workers are checked for fever at the beginning of each shift and no visitors are allowed.
“At Fort Hudson, Cruikshank called a team meeting and explained the situation. They brainstormed solutions and decided to convert the adult day care room — a large recreation area in the basement — into a ward for coronavirus patients. The room is not being used right now because no visitors are allowed in nursing homes.
“He got enough volunteers to staff the entire five-bed ward.....”
I have a hard time taking any politician seriously who has pierced nipples.
Perhaps that is shallow of me, but nevertheless it is where I land on the Governor.
In a month or two he’ll send nat guard troops to steal from Wegmans to send food where it’s needed.....
You dumb son of a bitch, we in upstate New York DID NOT VOTE for Cuomo. That’s why he’s taking our supplies. That’s the point of the article, you idiot.
And yes I may well be breaking FR rules. Sue, boot me, I don’t care. I’ve had it with all the jerks who think those of us who live no where near the center of power, and in no way voted for it, are responsible for our fate.
There's nothing "negligent" about it. What "emperor Coo-Mo" is doing to what he has come to consider his "subjects" is deliberate; there's nothing "negligent" about it.
Oneida County where I live is red.
When I think of upstate NY I think of my one visit there to a beautiful spot called Schroon Lake. Friend had a cabin only accessible by boat, what a great retreat.
If I was a medical person there, that equipment would be mysteriously lost before anyone showed up. Boat accident?
Knowing Coumo, he probably charged the up state hospitals for this gear, they didn’t get to keep.

Blue, help is for you.
Red, drop dead.

You are right and people need to drop the blaming of entire states that contain plenty of conservatives, just not a majority. I’ve watched Colorado go from red to blue due to “immi-grates”. I hide out where the counties are still red, and it’s good here so far.
The NY Assembly and Senate wanted to go home TWO Sundays ago, Cuomo shamed them into staying to pass the budget in that first press conference
Remember these sorts of things before you look at his press conferences and think 'gosh, he's surprisingly good in a crisis'. He's a good actor but behind the scenes he's playing politics the whole way.
Hospitals should immediately hide their equipment and PPE.
