So when Trump and Dr. Birx said Cuomo wouldn’t need 30000 ventilators - they were right https://t.co/Vmomlf3edZ— Susan Wilcox (@SuseWilcox) April 16, 2020

On March 29 @NYGovCuomo claimed it will be @realDonaldTrump fault that if he doesn't get 30000 #ventilators that 26000 people will die. 16 days later, #AndrewCuomo is giving excess ventilators to other States. https://t.co/iTJimI9tWM— Moonbatsfor (@Moonbatsfor) April 15, 2020

I thought he needed 30000 ventilators

Cuomo must be on crack

It was more political theatre to try and beat POTUS over the head with. The level of coordinated bitching about ventilators from the git-go was always suspicious and smelled political to me. And sure enough, it was.

Hopefully the lesson learned from all this is to be prepared the next time China or whoever, or just nature, releases another virus that can spread before symptoms enable quarantines to be effective. Go ahead and stockpile ventilators and PPE at the state and national level. Bring pharmaceutical manufacturing back to the U.S. As we all get back to work, people should slowly build their own supplies of essentials and learn how to rotate supplies. That in itself could help the economy tremendously. Thankfully our family had some food and other supplies stored and avoided panic when the store shelves were bare.

If anything our enemies learned how fragile the economy is to a fear of disease. May be next year, maybe in 20 years, but this will happen again. Trial run of teleworking is actually working out a lot of kinks so some portions of the economy can continue, lots of lessons to be learned.
