The Trump administration is reportedly worried about ordering too many ventilators, as hospitals face grave shortages
Photo: Drew Angerer/Getty Images Hospitals in New York, Detroit, and Atlanta are at or above their capacity, with growing numbers of coronavirus patients pouring in. Hospital staff and governors are begging for more protective equipment and ventilators. The Trump administration, after doing nothing for weeks to prepare, is still refusing to treat the matter with the proper urgency.
Too many ventilators. It sounds insane that the Trump administration would be concerned that it would be left with a supply of excess machine when, at the moment, governors are pleading with them to send as many machines, as quickly as possible, before bodies begin piling up in American cities. Trump is unable to understand why hospitals would need a lot of ventilators when they have been used to getting by with two. The reason is that the coronavirus leaves many victims unable to breath, and they will die without a ventilator machine. The hospitals need way more ventilators because of the coronavirus. The fact that they ordinarily have just a couple ventilators is the problem. Ordinarily, a couple ventilators is enough.
