New York doesn’t need any more ventilators and California is in good enough condition to send 500 ventilators to states in worse shape, their governors said on Monday, a sign that the CCP virus curve appears to be flattening in both states.
“We don’t need any additional ventilators right now,” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo told reporters at a press conference after repeatedly warning in recent days that the state needed up to 40,000 of the breathing machines.
Cuomo declined to state how many ventilators the state has in stock and his office hasn’t responded to requests for information about the state’s ventilator situation. One updated model indicated the state would need only 10,606 ventilators.
California, meanwhile, has seen a slowdown of new cases, prompting Gov. Gavin Newsom to loan 500 ventilators to states where the spread of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus, has gotten worse.
“California is stepping up to help our fellow Americans in New York and across the country who are being impacted the hardest right now by the COVID-19 pandemic,” Newsom said in a statement. Modeling shows the state won’t hit its peak of cases until next month, the governor said.
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown sent 140 ventilators directly to New York over the weekend while Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said Sunday his state would return more than 400 ventilators it received from the Strategic National Stockpile to help states dealing with more COVID-19 cases.
“These ventilators are going to New York and others states hardest hit by this virus,” Inslee said in a statement. “I’ve said many times over the last few weeks, we are in this together. This should guide all of our actions at an individual and state level in the coming days and weeks.”

WHAT ABOUT THE PROJECTIONS MADE BY THE MODELS?
The updated model, from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, dropped the projected deaths from COVID-19 by some 12,000, with modelers citing data from New York, California, and other states. It also dropped the projected number of hospital beds, intensive care unit beds, and ventilators needed in many states. California will need between 432 and 1,278 ventilators during its projected peak on April 15, models predicted, while Washington will need just 165 of the machines during its peak on April 6.
that’s okay. if the virus doesn’t get ‘em, global warming will.
amirite?
Obvious evidence that the gravely ill are giving up, their spirits broken, their will to live stripped away by Donald Trump and his Hell regime.
General Motors has to be REAL happy with this.
In the next few months the world is going to be awash in unneeded ventilators and masks.
Dr. Strauss notes that in New York "...we do not know how many lives ventilators could or will save. It seems that at least two-thirds of attempts to stave off death with their use will fail in the short term. Of the remaining third, we do not know how many will be successful in the medium or long term."
Ventilators Are No Panacea by John Hinderaker, April 6, 2020, Powerline Blog.
Democrats today: “Trump wasted MONTHS. We could have been prepared if only OrangeMan had acted instead of watching the Gorilla Channel.”
Democrats next month: “Trump wasted hundreds of millions of dollars manufacturing ventilators nobody needs. He should have watched more Gorilla Channel instead of wasting all this money.”
Not to mention toilet paper.
All the extra ventillators can be put away stocked for the next round of flu or other disaster.
If true, Chicken Little Cuomo blinked. Eight days ago there weren’t enough ventilators on earth for NY requirements according to HIM. Putz.
Huh?
So did he return the ventilators he took from less wealthy, well prepared out back counties in New York state, or did he just take them, redistribute to the rich, poorly prepared counties and now to other states?
This is Not what the Dems want to hear
If this keeps up the MSM will have nothing to talk about. Dems are going all in on the ventilator angle. Eventually President Trump’s news conferences will only last a few minutes mostly because CNN won’t ask the same ventilator question several times.
A fun idea for President Trump during the next news conference is when he calls on CNN, state “your ventilator question please.”
Trying to get noticed?
Yes. If Donald Trump couldn't deliver 500 million ventilators within 48 hours, Little Andy was going call him a failure. Imagine that.
Governor Ventilator is going to be championed by the MSM as having saved NY state while the “incompetent” Donald Trump did nothing for two months before the main outbreak occurred, and both Ventilator Cuomoron and Comrade DeLousyo had to manage the crisis without help from the federal government until it was too late.
Ventilators are going to be selling for $200 by June.
“New, never out of the box, $200”
A lot of sphincters will release so the TP supply will stay right
