i would also add this:
How can masks be in short supply in NYC and the state of NY?
19 years ago we suffered the single most tragic day in this nation during our generation; 9-11. During the immediate aftermath there was concern the rescue workers at Ground Zero did not have enough masks and did not have the proper masks.
Given the experience of 9-11, why is NYC and NY caught short handed on masks this time around??

it aligns with the issue of 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.”
Trump had a purchase order in his hand at briefing today that was given to Cuomo in 2015 to purchase ventilators Cuomo sent it back stating he did not wish to purchase them!!! LOL
