Democrats are never responsible for anything.

Luckily the numbers are being downgraded, and it looks like NY may not need as many as projected. Americans getting healthier, npot getting sick, neating this virus - that's what's important.

I wouldn't jump to conclusions on this. The COVID-19 models are changing as we learn more about this respiratory virus.

New York has no local or state governance. The President is responsible for New York according to the media. Why they have a governor and legislature and why New York City has a mayor is the mystery of the year.

Democrats are never responsible for anything.

Oh ,that’d be Trump, he said it again a couple weeks ago. Trump never takes responsibility for his negatives. He just takes credit for the positives, often someone else actually created the positives, but that doesn’t matter to a proven pathological liar.

Literally the same exact thing could be said about any Democrat who has been front and center dealing with this issue. Welcome to politics.

May be time to tell NY to go fuck themselves. Too much incompetence and corruption.

New York City stockpiled ventilators for a pandemic, only to later auction them off: report

The New York City planned to buy thousands of ventilators, but only purchased 500 before eventually auctioning them off.

/----/ They were obsolete so there is no problem selling them, but they should have been immediately replaced with new ones.

"Those ventilators were then auctioned off some time before 2016 because the city could not afford to maintain them in working order, partially because the model of ventilator the city had purchased was no longer in production after 2009, the report said. "

Too much BS politics in this thread.

/----/ True, so why weren't they replaced with new ones?

 

[Dragonlady]

In 2015 the CDC told Cuomo he needed to purchase approx. 2,000 ventilator beds to prepare for a pandemic - he refused and blew millions on other projects...

Auctioning off the beds and using he money to buy new beds, if they were outdated and too expensive to continue to keep / run, would have been the smart thing to do. Following the CDC's advice in 2016 would have been the smart thing to do. Instead, Cuomo rolled the dice and bet on there not being a need for the beds.

Luckily the numbers are being downgraded, and it looks like NY may not need as many as projected. Americans getting healthier, npot getting sick, neating this virus - that's what's important.

He wasn't auctioning beds, he was auctioning portable breathing machines. He couldn't use the money to replace them with other ventilators because old use machinery sells for a lot less money than brand new state of the art machinery, and taxes were being cut, not increased.

The demand for ventilators has not yet peaked. People may be getting sick in smaller numbers but those on ventilators stay on ventilators for long periods of time, so while fewer people are getting sick, the number of ventilators needed is still rising, and those needing ventilators don't usually need them until a week or more into the illness.

It's encouraging that projections are coming down, and not just the projections from the White House.

So what the article says is that in 2006 the City of New York bought ventilators and that by 2016, they were old, broken down, and didn't work any more. The model was no longer made and parts were no longer available so the City of New York sold them at auction, and didn't replace them. And we're talking 500 ventilators, not 10's of thousands of ventilators.

I don't see what's outrageous here.

Maybe it's time to tell 1000 post a month posters who are trying to gin up outrage and pit Americans against one another to go fuck themselves.

Yes,because your Canadian ass cannot blame Trump.

I love how all the 1000 post a month posters keep reminding other posters that I am not an American, even though my location is "Niagara Escarpment".

Cuomo has messed that state up and that Deblasio idiot has undone all of the good in NYC....its a shit hole now....

CUOMO WAS GOV 14 YEARS AGO ?

gee who knew that other than dumbass trumpdrones

I believe he's actually been governor for nine years. He wasn't able to correct the problem in that amount of time?

Gee, who knew that other than dumbass leftist drones?

14 year old stories dont even fit in current events -

way to stay on top of things SAGGY !

Good news for your leftist slave masters: your self-lobotomy was a total success.

I love how you've spent all your time on this board bragging about being a Canadian and expounding on the wonders of how "your country" does things, and now out of the blue are surprised and snotty about "how could anyone think I'm not an American".

And re: your location? No one cares enough to look, and now that you've told us . . . we care even less.

Ventilators in storage not being used don't just breakdown. It's already been stated that venilators have a long shelf life and if one is broke it would be much easier to fix then to make a new one during a global shortage. As for expired masks they too have been approved for use in time of shortage.

Stop making sense with facts......Dimsocialist heads will explode.

They needed to spend the money on illegal aliens.
