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.

stupid headline as there was no need for them anyway. Laura Ingraham mentioned the number of people in ICU in California at present - something like 127 for the entire State!

Updated 16 Apr: Daily Mail: NONE of the 1,000 ventilators Tesla CEO Elon Musk promised have been delivered to California hospitals, Gov. Gavin Newsom says
•The billionaire initially called the coronavirus pandemic ‘dumb’
•California has since donated their own ventilators to other states
By Frances Mulraney
Despite the reported failure of Tesla to deliver ventilators, California has now begun to ship their own to other states in need, sending out hundreds of machines to New Jersey, New York and Illinois...

all FakeNewsMSM now pushing the following - note MARC LIPSITCH OF HARVARD T.H. CHAN SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH is one of the authors:

16 Apr: NBC: Reuters: Social distancing may remain in place until 2022, Harvard researchers say
“Intermittent distancing may be required into 2022 unless critical care capacity is increased substantially or a treatment or vaccine becomes available,” the Harvard researchers said in findings published Tuesday in the journal Science...

Dr. Rosemary Guerguerian, NBC News’ medical fellow, said that as with most mathematical models, the researchers’ predictions are based on assumptions we don’t yet know about the virus...
The study acknowledged that prolonged distancing would most likely have profoundly negative economic, social and educational consequences.

The study added that even in the case of “apparent elimination,” SARS-CoV-2 surveillance should still be maintained, as a resurgence in contagion may be possible as late as 2024. According to the findings, it is likely that COVID-19 could re-emerge every winter...

14 Apr: Science: Projecting the transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 through the postpandemic period
Authors: Stephen M. Kissler, Christine Tedijanto, Edward Goldstein, Yonatan H. Grad, Marc Lipsitch
Abstract:
Absent other interventions, a key metric for the success of social distancing is whether critical care capacities are exceeded. To avoid this, prolonged or intermittent social distancing may be necessary into 2022. Additional interventions, including expanded critical care capacity and an effective therapeutic, would improve the success of intermittent distancing and hasten the acquisition of herd immunity. Longitudinal serological studies are urgently needed to determine the extent and duration of immunity to SARS-CoV-2. Even in the event of apparent elimination, SARS-CoV-2 surveillance should be maintained since a resurgence in contagion could be possible as late as 2024...

Bingo. NYC can give them all away for all the media cares. All they wanted, and got in spades, was the non-stop harangue of how horribly Trump has managed this and that he’s putting us all in danger if we leave our homes for lack of ventilators.

Orange Man Bad! We’re All Gonna Die!

And never lose sight of this: The media’s goal isn’t to convince people to vote against Trump. It’s to convince the rest of us that enough voters turned against him that the fraudulent votes that elect the Dem are perfectly legitimate.
