Cuomo Giving Away Ventilators… After Weeks of Demanding More from White House

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said on Wednesday at a press conference that he would start giving away ventilators to other states during the coronavirus crisis.

“We’ve stabilized our healthcare situation. New York had one of the earlier curves. There are other places in this country that are now seeing increases in the death rate,” Cuomo said, explaining why he was ready to donate ventilators.

Cuomo announced he would send 100 ventilators to Michigan and 50 ventilators to Maryland.

Cuomo spent weeks spreading the alarm that there might not be enough ventilators for New York, demanding that the federal government provide him 30,000 to 40,000 ventilators for his stockpile.

“You pick the 26,000 people who are going to die,” Cuomo said in a press conference in March, in a strong message to President Donald Trump and the federal government.

Trump was widely criticized for challenging the numbers in March, asserting in an interview that Cuomo probably did not need that many 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 in an interview with Sean Hannity. “I don’t believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators.”

No they are not even sure it they are an effective treatment measure. People are waking up and found to have had strokes under the anesthesia.

Cuomo, the governor of a state that represents 6% of the total population of the United States, wanted 25% of all of the ventilators in the country? Typical greedy democrat...

Cuomo can play big shot with all this equipment he didn't need. He lied to get this equipment.

Cuomo is a perfect example of yet another dumbocrat idiot that is not qualified to do his job. Cuomo is an incompetent ass.

And Trump said weeks ago that anybody in America who wanted a Covid-19 test could get one. He said the testing situation was perfect, just like his call to the president of Ukraine. Maybe politicians of both parties should be held to a truth-telling standard.

Cuomo goes on tv everyday with a new gripe to deflect failures in his behalf, He’s looking for an excuse first it was ventilators then hospital beds he got both and didn’t need either now and predictably he pivots to money ... didn’t say what for but just send it

He was right based on the number infected he never claimed anyone that just wants one can get one , Doctors won’t allow a test without a temperature. Moving forward they want to test everybody but the hold up is China... Democrats have sold our manufacturing of our medical supplies to the Chicom s and here we wait
