What about the 30,000 ventilators Governor Cuomo demanded on 24 March?

When President Trump disagreed with this demand, he was accused by the MSM-Democrats of "minimizing the impact of the infectious outbreak," to use the exact words of Politico in this article.

in final analysis, it was a deployment exercise.

Seems odd they would send the ship away?

They just issued a standing DNR for anyone who has a heart attack! I thought that ship was there for people who didn’t have the virus, but still needed critical care?

“So the epidemic is not as severe as reported?”

Well, we’ve flattened the curve, but it’s a monster, it’s still out there, and the peak will be in 2 weeks!!! (That’s a sliding timescale, so whenever you ask, the peak will be in two weeks from that time). Furthermore, there will be a 2nd wave, and a 3rd wave, and who knows how many more waves. This thing is mutating, morphing and killing people all over!!!! Run, hide, stay under your bed, it’s your only chance.

Or, you could say it’s a nasty bug with a 98%+ survival rate that doesn’t seem to be as transmissible as once thought. But where is the panic fun in that? Not to mention, letting go of the panic kills any slim chance slow Joe has in November.

Well, it’s always nice to know that New Yorkers are sooooo appreciative of federal govt resources and the support they get from taxpayers in the rest of the country. I know they’ll find a way to make it up to us.

The governor asked for help

To the Governor’s dismay, The President responded as commander in chief by deploying both Corps of Engineer and US Navy hospital assets in record time.

You need hospital beds?

No sweat, here they are by the thousands

Coumo and the MSM "We need 100,000 hospital beds now or you're gonna let 60,000 people DIE".
Trumps' response "Ok, I'll send you a State of The Art Military Hospital Ship with 1000 beds and everything medically needed on board, Ok?"

A month later, the ship will return home as it no loner needed.

The Lesson learned: The Democrats are like a bunch of 3 yo. cry babies who cant even piss straight or use a toilet. They whine and need Trump to come and do everything for them.

Now in the latest episode, they want Trump to come and do all their State testing for them while they all sit on their hands doing nothing.

“I know they’ll find a way to make it up to us”.

The will. Many of the Liberal NYers will move to other states.

But, but, but, our science-superior (so they think) media insisted that these ships were needed and that Trump finally sent them to late and millions, no BILLIONS would die horrible deaths.

I’ll tell you who should encounter those horrible deaths......

There’s what really needs to be done, and then there is the theatrics for the MSM to work themselves into a lather over...
