Well, I guess you don't understand how exponential growth works. He said today that the 30,000 number he is using expectation needed for the time when hospitalizations are at their highest point from several public and private sources including McKinsey's, Weill Cornell, and the Department of Health.
He is stockpiling them now in anticipation that they will be needed, much like one stockpiles non-perishable food because they are warned of an incoming natural disaster. It may be 70 degrees and sunny on the day you buy the food, but that doesn't detract from the wisdom in preparing.
I guess every governor in every state should ask for 40,000 ventilators in “anticipation”.
This frontline TDS doc is claiming there isn’t enough ventilators when you clearly see them in her video put off to the side. Why isn’t she using them? smh
Oklahoma has tested less than 1,000 people as of yesterday. No one has any idea about the scope of the problem there. It could be a small number or it could be multiplying exponentially and running rampant through the State this very moment.
That is why testing is the first, critical step. Without testing to determine the magnitude of the problem, you cannot assess the problem because the problem is defined the magnitude.
.
Except that testing (a girl of 16 died three days ago in France) is only - if - right on the second it was taken.
You can get it a few hours after still.
Find fun as to not make confinement too difficult and keep safe.
Cuomo says he needs 30,000 to 40,000 ventilators but all this time, and all the deaths, he hasn’t had to use more than 1500 (he stated this morning).
I find it selfish that hes asking the government/nation for all the avail ventilators when he hasn’t came close to using up his stock pile. And positive corona cases are starting to slow down a bit in the state.
So what ? What even if we was wrong ? Does it mean it's not needed ? Do these lives not matter ?
ETA : this is not a political issue !!! take care people!
We (Oklahoma) are behind the curve on testing because people aren't getting sick yet. I think we have enough test kits for now.
The thing that happened here is our right wing republican governor goes out to eat with his family and then goes out the next day telling everybody they need to get out and do things and support business.
Then the VERY NEXT DAY he implemented restrictions.
And a 4th
Those of us who recognize the inability to expediently address any shortage in supplies, beds, respirators,masks, gloves, medical staff, etc. can be traced directly back to your govt.
" can be traced directly back to your govt" your LOCAL gov't.
The ER normally sees 200 patients a day, which is extremely high volume and leaves very little slack.
Now, the patients going to the ER is over 400 a day...
Bodies are so overflowing, they have to get a refrigerated truck to store the bodies of dying patients. You read that right.
Lots of promises were made in terms of supplies and equipment, very few are delivered.
And this is just the beginning. It's going to get worse.

I am curious to know what he thinks needs to be done, or can be done....hospital shortage, doctor shortage, nurse shortage
NYC (public) hospitals have been closing left and right over the last few years....
Greenpoint Hospital (Brooklyn)(where I was born), has been turned into affordable housing
Kew Gardens Hospital (just across in queens) closed also
Then Mayor Mike Bloomberg (D) in an effort to cut the city's $1.2 billion budget gap in the next year's budget by laying off about 500 workers and ending contracts with "a significant number" of physicians

Oklahoma ain't gonna be no coronavirus hotspot, and you know it. Mississippi? Well...maybe a little bit.

He wouldn’t need anywhere near that many if he Didn’t screw up badly along with De Blasio. Now due to their lack of leadership they want to take resources away from other states. I feel bad for the citizens of NY.
