I guess he hasnt heard about Just In Time manufacturing.
Also, there are reports that each respirator can be modified to accommodate anywhere from 2- 8 patients, simultaneously.
The fact that he is building up a stockpile of respirators, while his citizens are dying, means that he owns these N.Y. deaths.
A video inquiry to Spectrum (Cable news/ Comcast) earlier this morning (9:00AM)said that hospitals were up to current bed space capacity,
while Cuomo was stating that he needed another 40,000 respirators - not mentioning that he had a hoard in the warehouses.
More kabuki from New York !
No wonder that Spectrum / Comcast was pushing this need before any apex, it' called political posturing !
I hope Trump retains all written and verbal transcripts since Cuomo seems to be running for office, rather than protecting N.Y. residents.
