BS - that’s a matter of pure production numbers. Months, yes - decades no.
Everything is Trump’s fault- even when NY REFUSED to purchase enough to have on hand for emergencies- it’s still somehow Trump’s fault according to the scum o n the l eft
Now the mayor of Louisianan who kept mardi gras going and caused it to become a hotspot as a result is blaming Trump for ‘not telling him to shut it down’
Yeah criticism from states like NY that has a warehouse full of them. But that right, all that matters to the Fake News is the chance to whine at Trump, not the actual facts
[[“If this strain were to launch a pandemic and retain this trait,......
And then get treated by the drug that is nearly 100% effective in saving lives, then all this is moot-
USE THE DRUG HydroxyCHorinique (sp?)!!!
So they knew they were unprepared and did nothing.
This reminds me of the “16 Intelligence agencies say that the Russias were interfering in our election”.
Ok, and they let it happen?
What good are they?
How many agencies knew we were short of equipment, and when did they know it?
Investigate and Fire, investigate and fire.
And what did Democrats choose to fund INSTEAD of this?
Gender Equity studies, Climate Change hockey stick models, abortions...
Which means we didn’t really have a ventilator shortage. You really shouldn’t be stocked for “someday maybe”. Especially not on expensive medical equipment that’s going to be post dated and thrown out unused in 10 years. It’s like when we had a really nasty icestorm in Tucson about 15 years ago. Some people were complaining that Tucson only has 1 de-icing truck, not nearly up to the task of having all our bridges ice up. But the last time before then we’d had that much ice was before de-icing trucks were invented. And we haven’t had that much again since. 1 is probably too many for us.
federal agencies warn of shortages of everything every budget cycle.
it’s insane to convince people that the normal number of ventilators that all hospitals should keep and maintain is the number of ventilators they would need at the height of a pandemic.
that’s just not the way the world works.
So let’s say NYC gets 100,000 ventilators today.
Who is going to run them?
Art Students?
Film editors?
New York only has 8,000 Inhalation Therapists.
Of course, since it’s been a problem for forever, that makes it Trump’s fault, because he’s been here only 3 years, and not Pelosi’s fault, who has been here for 30+ years. /sarc.
China was warned over two decades ago and multiple times since that “wet markets” were a ticking timebomb to create pandemics like the one we currently suffer.
What did they do?
Nothing.
Since when is a President responsible for the number of ventilators in our country? Is he also responsible for the amount of toilet paper in the nation?
I did not think the media could be any more insane in their hatred of Trump, but their idiocy knows no bounds.
CDC’s gonna be thoroughly examined by POTUS soon, full blood workup, full upper and lower GI, stress test, EKG, EEG.
Who knew what, and when?
Who should’ve got masks, gloves, gowns, ventilators, etc. up to nevessary levels, but failed to do so?
Who let the field hospitals go?
Was funding moved from communicable disease prevention to non-communicable (lifestyle) diseases? By whom?
Who appointed CDC’s leaders since 2000?
There was an article posted on MSN late last week of how in 2006 then California Governor AHNOLD used $200 million to stockpile emergency medical supplies and 3 - 200 bed mobile field hospital materials, including2,400portable ventilators. But when Moonbeam Brown became governor he chose not to pay the $5.8 million annual cost to store and maintain this program. The state’s annual budget is $179 billion or 0.00032% of their annual budget.
LOL, they skip back to the W Administration. They dare not criticize “The One”.
We been outfoxed!
