    Oh my! This is pathetic, Cuomo is a moron.


    He's been out there bitching about not having enough ventilators and now he admits he has a stockpile.


    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.

    ...What's the purpose of a stockpile? And how many people do you think live in the US's 4th largest state? I'll give you a hint. It's more than a couple of thousands.

    If all the statistics indicate you're going to need 30,000 of something you start gathering as soon as you can. He doesn't have enough and he's searching for more. Take your b.s. bias and go somewhere else with it.

    He's saying he doesnt have enough stockpile. He needs to hoard more ventilators.

    You folks with a spare-bedroom full of toilet paper should be able to understand that.

    Are you defending Cuomo who already has ventilators he isn’t using but other states might need? Cuomo runs NY, de Blasio runs NYC, and they just proved they can’t lead.

    Do you buy food for each day, or do you buy food for a week? Do you fill your car up with gas for one trip, or do you fill it up as much as you might need to get to and from work? Do you spend all your money today or do you continue to save it up until you have a comfortable amount of money?

    Exactly. Now ask Cuomo why he only buys food for a day and not a week.

    If you have people dying for lack of ventilators, do you leave them in the warehouse, or wait till you have 40,000 and then get them out? If you want to keep people isolated from one another, do you have the NY Health Commissioner tell people to go out and mingle, ride the subway? Seems they do both in N.Y. and then blame Trump for not acting fast enough.

    They aren’t dying from lack of ventilators today.
    The stockpile he has is more than he needs for today, will be just what he needs in X days from today, and will not be enough in X+1 days.
    And will be woefully insufficient in X+10 days , when people will be dying because there aren’t enough ventilators.
    He is trying to save American lives. Why are Trump and so many of his supporters against that?

    America has more ventilators than the media has credibility.

    If NY has a surplus of ventilators then Trump doesn't need to commit more to NY until they need more and Trump still has more. Trump has 49 other states to serve.

    They proved that when the following situation occurred:

    -Viral breakout
    -NY hosts the JFK Airport and a bunch of travel occurs
    -Any MORON could see this would be a bad situation.

    And they only enforced their shutdown LAST WEEK. LAST ****ING WEEK.

    It's poetically ironic(if it didn't cost lives) that those who complained about Trump daily demonstrate their incompetence in comparison.

    Comes with being POTUS and all. If the POTUS devotes everything to NY, the other 49 States would be left with nothing. This is a big reason behind trying to keep the curve down.

    Whoops! There goes a Nutter Democrat LIE.
    Plus we are seeing a pattern among Democrat Governors and their ilk.
    To Exploit this Panderdemic.Like Pesky Chicago Commie and for Mayor
    Rahm Emanuel was just reiterating.
    " Never let a crisis go to waster ". as This crisis has reached it's peak.
    A flu needs a host.And it also wears down.Therefore the rationale behind
    the term - Flu season -. This Corn Virus apparently has peaked.Like all
    virus and flu do.But we have to keep an eye out for manipulation.
    Of the Data.

    Oh Yeah! Andrew is worried about his mommy, to the point, he is leaning on the panic button. Just issue a chit for a ventilator for your house Andrew and if mommy needs it then it will be there.
