New York is poised to get over 1,100 ventilators from China and Oregon as it scrambles to line up more breathing machines for the sickest coronavirus patients, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Saturday.
The Chinese government facilitated a 1,000-ventilator donation from billionaires Jack Ma and Joseph Tsai, the co-founders of the Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, Cuomo said. He said those ventilators were due to arrive Saturday, and the state of Oregon had volunteered to send 140 more breathing machines.
“It’s going to make a significant difference for us,” said the Democratic governor. Cuomo had said on Thursday that the state’s supply of ventilators would be exhausted in six days if the number of critically ill coronavirus patients kept growing at the current rate. […]
Governors around the U.S. have been pleading, competing and scouring the global marketplace for needed supplies, especially ventilators, to treat the sick. Cuomo said Saturday that New York at one point made purchase orders for 17,000 of the devices, but only 2,500 came through. …

Seems to me that if they gave lesser sick corona folks the malaria cocktail, fewer would wind up on ventilators and we’d start emptying those corona beds.
...The Chinese government facilitated a 1,000-ventilator donation from billionaires Jack Ma and Joseph Tsai,...
Complete, thorough humiliation for New York State.
Gov. Cuomo had the chance to buy 17,000 ventalators at a discount in 2017/2018. The incompetent fool decided to spend money on something else.
Gov. Cuomo decided to strip the shelves bare and not prepare for an emergency
Now, Cuomo spins like a whirling dervish and giving the “Corporate Salute” (cross your arms in front of you, fingers pointing to shoulders)
And the feed-on narrative is they’re HAVING to do this because Jared is SELFISH!
Thank you very much Oregon. We appreciate it.
China, #### you I’d rather die.
Who needs enemies when you’ve got China sending you ventilators, and medical supplies?
NYC is not going to give the malaria drug? They would rather die than prove Trump right.
Are you sure the ventilators are operative?
Probably on projects that lined his donors pockets, like all his other pet projects did.
New York Has Thrown Away 20,000 Hospital Beds, Complicating Coronavirus Fight
Next he’ll be begging Trump for people to actually operate them
Whatta hero leader
Oregon only has 900 cases and 21 deaths. Last week our governor said we were going to have 40,000 deaths and we have had 21 so now she ships respirators after scaring everyone.
Will Oregon with their ventilator surplus help all states or just New York?
Apparently about 2/3 of the patients who are put on ventilators leave the hospital in body bags.
Cuomo just stole all the ventilators from Rural NY as well. Those hospitals he stole them from are death traps now.
The chocom ventilators don’t blow ....they suck.
There are some solid NYCers...but not many.
Dems will attack Trump on this , see we had to go to China for help ,D’oh
It looks more like humiliation for Trump. At least that is how the media will spin it.
