“Yet there are only a total of 7,713 respiratory specialists licensed to operate the breathing machines in New York”
With all of the schools closed there won’t be many new ones.

Cuomo needs a ventilator.
But the sudden introduction of O2 to his brain for the first time could cause complications.

There are some hilarious replies on that twitter thread.

The only ones with real missiles in WWII were the Nazis.In a military context, a rocket is an unguided, rocket-powered weapon, with no steering ability. A missile is a self-propelled weapon, often rocket-powered (but not always), that has some kind of guidance system so that it can steer in flight, towards its target.
You are correct sir.

I think the machines are like a teenager’s sex drive - once you turn them on, they’re fully automatic...other than maybe a few adjustments...

No ones said he had a plan to use all those ventilators he wanted, jut he needed them.
I was originally puzzled when I heard him request an exorbitant number of ventilators. I initially thought he was trying to establish being on the record requesting them in case the pandemic turned out really badly, so he could blame someone.
Why hasn't he been planning for this? What have been the Governor's priorities?

Are these figures for NYC or the entire state?
Cuomo’s talking about shipping patients Upstate.

How many machines can one person operate at the same time?
I'm surprised you're the only one that's mentioned this. I would guess that at any given hospital with several ventilators, they only have maybe 2 staff per shift that are actual technicians specifically for that piece of gear. They're like the x-ray tech, or the nutritionist, or other specialized technicians. Nurses do most of the day-to-day care, and the techs are only coming by as needed, or for certain functionality.
So 30M ventilators, divided by 7700 techs, is less than four machines per person. Seven/eight if you account for splitting the shifts. On a normal day, I would guess a single tech could handle between ten and fifteen of them.

I actually heard Cuomo say that about missiles in WWII and I wondered the same thing. He is a dumb Drama Queen.
To: Hillarys Gate Cult
Lol! I can actually see the ventilators on a conveyor belt coming at Cuomo faster and faster.
