This virus is not really a US problem. It’s a New York problem.

Go here and sort by total deaths. It’s just another unlikely way to die everywhere else.

And when you consider whether or not you are in the primary risk factor group in any state, this may be a big nothingburger to you. I don’t worry about getting sickle cell anemia because I’m not black. I don’t worry about the Coronavirus because I’m only 66, don’t have heart disease and am not diabetic. Meh...

I’m more concerned about the flu.

I just turned tv on and CNN was on and discussing the 15 minute test being given in detroit now. andersen observes test not given everywhere all at once (btw i think this was covered in yesterdays trump briefing) and asks medical correspondent cohen who decides what and where test is given and cohen responds well tests would be done better when the country has a single payer system (paraphrased)... seemingly out of the blue...

so i predict that we will be hearing a lot from he liberables about single payer system once the dust settles and even before. (and cnn seems to be 99% dem/lib socialist propaganda in one form or another these days...)

Private hospitals have more of them than public hospitals.

This is all about class envy and redistribution.

NBC / Comcast Headline on this:

New York closes in on 3,000 deaths as Cuomo says he will order redistribution of ventilators

“As the number of deaths from coronavirus approaches 3,000 in New York state, Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Friday said he would sign an executive order authorizing the National Guard to take and redistribute ventilators and personal protective equipment.” [snip]

Reminds me of the great dialogue between Jimmy Stewart and his youngest boy in Shenandoah

Boy: What’s confiscate mean, Pa?
Pa: Steal

Why would he use his stockpile when he can steal some from somewhere else?

Citizens need to stop the madness, don’t cry out “Government save me”.

If only he had bought a stock pile of ventilators and other supplies, like he should’ve done back in 2015 or so instead of spending it on solar panels or whatever he wasted on.

Nope.

Airports are still open and busy as well, flying lots in and out and all over,

Governor is taking care of his voters base by giving the finger to the country side folks in New York.

When people flee from New York to the country side and infected the country locals there will be no medical equipment to take care of the locals.

The Governor is just spreading the death around, it is unfair the other parts of New York were smart enough to prepare.
