Gov. Andrew Cuomo Admits Stockpile of Thousands of Unused Ventilators
Breitbart ^ | 27 Mar 2020 | CHARLIE SPIERING

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo acknowledged Friday the state did have a stockpile of unused ventilators, despite his complaints the federal government was not sending enough.

Cuomo responded to a comment from President Donald Trump on Twitter that there were thousands of ventilators in New York not being used.

“Yes, they’re in a stockpile because that’s where they are supposed to be, because we don’t need them yet,” Cuomo said. “We need them for the apex, the apex isn’t here, so we’re gathering them in a stockpile.”

Cuomo’s comments demonstrate there is not an immediate shortage in ventilators in the city, despite alarming reports.

“We don’t need them today, because we’re not at capacity today, that’s why they’re not deployed because they’re not needed,” Cuomo said.

The governor has repeatedly complained that the federal government is not sending enough ventilators to New York.

On Tuesday, Pence said that the federal government had sent 2,000 ventilators to New York and an additional 2,000 more on Wednesday.

But on Friday, Cuomo explained expert projections showed he would need up to 140,000 beds and 40,000 ventilators.

“I don’t operate here on opinion, I operate on facts and on data and on numbers and on projections,” he said.

In an interview on Fox News on Thursday night, Trump appeared skeptical that New York would need 40,000 ventilators.

“I have a feeling that a lot of the numbers that are being said in some areas are just bigger than they’re going to be,” he said.

The topic of ventilators appeared to be on the president’s mind for most of Friday, as cable news repeatedly focused on a “shortage” and suggested that the president do more by invoking the Defense Production Act.

Not doublespeak, not triplespeak, that’s Nuclear Explosion Bullshitspeak right there.

Kind of like the people who went to Costco and bought all of the toilet paper. Cuomo is just hoarding ventilators, when hospitals in other states may need them now.

Looks like Trump is waking up to the fact that Cuomo could be his opponent in the next election.

Ventilators will probably be a big part of the campaign

Does Cuomo have people to operate 40,000 ventilators? Just wonder.

Cuomo is nuts. The need for ventilators could easily double in 2 days. ER docs are working under the assumption that there are no more ventilators. This assumption affects the way they tackle patient management. The ventilators need to be distributed and put on line as needed, not sit in a warehouse.

I don’t know how bad it will get, neither does anyone else.

The problem is, President Trump is getting crushed in the media and on social media for the pandemic response. I posted Dr. Birx saying the models are wrong, and that got hammered. Dr. Birx had previously said there were enough medical supplies, quite a few who work at local hospitals were quick to point out that was inaccurate.

I tried to do some research to find out what the administration has done right in regard to the pandemic, not much out there, even using duckduckgo.

I read a WP article that laid out a pretty good case saying the administration screwed the pooch on this one.

That is concerning, when considering November.

Since PedoJoe is the presumptive nominee (at least at this time), could the female NY governor, Andrea Cuomo, be PedoJoe’s VP pick?
