Mar.25 — Hospitals around the world face a dire ventilator shortage as the coronavirus outbreak drives up demand. From Milan to New York, doctors desperately need more ventilators that help patients breathe. Factories and companies are now trying to pick up production

china got your back
It’s true. New York doesn’t need 30,000 ventilators. Germany is the best equipped European nation with 25,000 ventilators. 82.7M people live in Germany, 60.4M people live in Italy, and 8.6M people live in NYC. Why should New York be more prepared than a country that’s about 10 times the population size? Ventilators are limited and there’s no gold standard that the lives of people in New York are more important than the lives of people in the rest of the United States. Also to keep in mind, the Navy hospital ship is on its way to NY and the people in Iowa will never get that for geographic reasons. Just like Italy was the first country to have it bad, NY is the first state to have it bad, the expectation is that this will worsen in other states as well. If we shipped such a huge supply of ventilators and all were needed, but then the spread worsens in other states…they won’t be just taking them away from people that need it in NY to supply another state. There are about 22,000 critical cases world wide right now and 20% of those critical cases require a ventilator. Assume worse case, all 30,000 ventilators are needed in NY…if you need a ventilator and have coronavirus, your odds skyrocket that you’ll need to be on the ventilator for a long time. The average is 11-21 days which is drastically more than someone who needs it for non-coronavirus reasons, an average of 3-4 days. Some patients have needed it for 30 days. Also, the death rate for critical cases is greater than 50% which reduces the need. This is spreading exponentially by state every single day. There are currently less than 200,000 ventilators in the US….so a minimum of 15% of the supply will be located in NYC that makes up 2.6% of the US population. It’s completely unfair to the rest of the citizens. It should be a give as needed basis since the supply is so limited. Also considering the fact that the majority of critical cases are 65+ and the distribution of elderly among the US…we do not need all of those in NY, we need them where there are large concentrations of high risk.. such as in FL, TX, and CA. To further support the math. Wuhan has a bigger population of 11M and the peak of world wide critical/serious cases in February, while Wuhan was suffering, was 12,057 which means the ventilator cases were well below that number at maximum.
NY, has 8,000 beds, only 136 severely sick, most not due to virus, asks for 30 thou ventilators & NY is 2 mill of 3 million unemploy’ claims YOU EVIL NY LYING
VULTURES
Pretty much like the post office over the top of the employees don’t work there anymore and suck out all the money
Like most companies they spend all their money on employees not the tools for the equipment to do the job
This shows you how good of a job FEMA the federal government
Government says it’s too expensive to supply the U.S. with ventilators, if this isn’t proof that they dont give a shit about us.
WAIT A MINUTE,..trump said we don’t need so many ventilators. So divert the ones slated for low rent Christian tax sucking states and basically everyone wearing a maga hat
we don’t have enough hospital beds and masks, but we do have money to bail out corp. Make America Number one again!
The Trump administration just backed out on a deal for 80,000 ventilators because the 1 billion price tag cost more then Americans lives are worth….at this point in the Trump administration response to the Coronavirus pandemic sadly I can say after watching him and listening to him speak I’m not even suprised anymore they don’t care about American lives he can’t even take it till he makes it with a smidge of empathy for the crisis we have on hand and the saddest part is this is only getting worse with the passing of the hands on the clock this is more about politicians lining their pockets with cash versus upholding the oaths they took and swore to protect the people of American and their life and liberty and freedom. I watch Dr fauci when Donald Trump talks his mumbo jumbo it’s all great BS and I just know all he is thinking is fawk I wish I can smack this guy back into reality for this administration if it’s not about money it just doesn’t make no damn cent’s.typo intentional.
I have a degree in Respiratory Therapy that I never used. Sound like the RT’s &CRTT’s are pretty popular right about now.
Very popular right now travel agencies are offering almost $4,000 a week if you search under crisis response rrt we could definitely use you somewhere just choose wisely you may not get protective gear I know we’re not and when we run out of gloves the head of the hospital just told us to deal with covid patients with our bare hands ur definitely missing out on all the fun😱🤢💩
I really don’t like those things anyway!
