Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of medical equipment was apparently just thrown away.
These ventilators were just those imported from China. What about the hundreds of thousands of ventilators built during a crash program last year that even had even auto companies churning them out? My bet is those not languishing in some warehouse gathering dust ended up in landfills like these. Anyone remember Gov. Cuomo whining about the need for thousands of more ventilators for COVID patients? Another huge waste of taxpayers money during the COVID panic.
What about the cry for more hospital beds in New York? A thousand bed hospital ship inNew York harbor...unused.... the Javetts Center turned into a COVID isolation hospital...unused..... an emergency tent hospital erected in Central Park...unused. All these wasted resources despite NewYork having the highest infection rate and the most COVID deaths and Gov. Cuomo being hailed as a model for leadership during the pandemic.
