President Trump said that we needed ventilators - he is getting them. From Associated Press:
Becoming ‘King of Ventilators’ may result in unexpected glut
As requests for ventilators from the national stockpile reached a crescendo in late March, President Donald Trump made what seemed like a bold claim: His administration would have 100,000 within 100 days.
At the time, the Department of Health and Human Services had not ordered any new ventilators since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in January. But records show that over the following three weeks, the agency scrambled to turn Trump’s pledge into a reality, spending nearly $3 billion to spur U.S. manufacturers to crank out the breathing machines at an unprecedented pace.
An analysis of federal contracting data by The Associated Press shows the agency is now on track to exceed 100,000 new ventilators by around July 13, about a week later than the 100-day deadline Trump first gave on March 27.
Their bias is showing: it is an "unexpected glut" because his advisors were grossly overstating the seriousness of the Wuhan Flu. Shipped on time too. And if we do not use them now, we will need them at some point in the future. Remember, New York City had a nice stash of them but Mayor de Blasio auctioned them off to make money.
Now, we have enough for the next pandemic. When it happens. Not IF, it is WHEN
