Those ships are Trauma Centers. They are not intended for Corona patients and you don’t strip such ships of anything.

He chose other priorities over being prepared. It was a conscious management decision, and if he were in the private sector instead of the pirate sector he would be fired.

That would be against the Freeper panic brigade’s rules and they have attempted to savage anyone who suggests that course of action for over a month now.

After this is over, anytime one of them is indignant about anything whatsoever those posts will be revisited.

What if someone needs the ventilators and they die because Cuomo stole it? What if a breakout happen and there are no ventilators because the hospital made plans but Cuomo confiscated them and sent to NYC?

You can ask, as the state of NY. You can make a deal. You can’t take private property away because you prepared badly and wasted taxpayer money.

I have a problem with this. This isn’t freedom. This is like the internment camps in WWII, it was wrong then and it’s still wrong.

Apparently they don’t need the room at this time. Why move them if you don’t have to. Common sense.

Cuomo is talking out of both sides of his. First he says they have six more days of supply from his ventilator stockpile now he is going to confiscate property from private hospitals. Then he complains the Navy hospital ship won’t take any virus patients, and ony has 19 non virus patients on board, plus their using the Javits center for non virus patients and now he wants to stick virus patients in there.

Additionally, when is GM and their partners going to start to kick out thier 5,000/week. The company they teamed with was aleady making a 1,000/week.

I don’t think we’re getting the full story on number of available beds, both private and public, how many patients are hospitalized, and hiw many are on ventilators.

Our governors are getting a taste of control-meth...and they’re gonna crave it forever more.

If our hooked proggie governors aren’t put into immediate withdrawal treatment...watch out!

These private hospitals had best get receipts for the commandeered ventilators including their serial numbers. They should also take pictures of their condition at the time of seizure.

Hell, I'd hide them.

Cuomo is relying on inventory management software used by Puerto Rico hurricane relief “experts.”

Gov Murphy in NJ signed an EO yesterday that is being portrayed as empowering the NJ SP to commandeer masks, PPE, and medical supplies. What it actually says is that they’re empowered to commandeer ANY property from individuals or companies. Under the order, your house, car, bank account, or firearms are fair game in the name of ‘promoting public health’.
