The President of the United States takes shots at some New York area hospitals, saying they have an "insatiable" appetites for medical supplies, suggesting that they are using too much too fast. Meanwhile, 47 people have already died today in New York at those very hospitals, and health care officials aren't wearing masks while caring for these people because they're out of supplies.
C-D Trump supporters...how do you do it?! How do you keep sticking up for this guy and defending him every day? Where is your moral compass?
between your incessant whines and the facts below, it's not that hard. read on:

I'm sure Trump supporters will think this is great. Just remember that when a Democratic president is in control. Blue states already pay far more in federal taxes that red states and now Trump is treating the economic engine states like they are Puerto Rico.
"As states across the country have pleaded for critical medical equipment from a key national stockpile, Florida has promptly received 100 percent of its first two requests — with President Trump and Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis both touting their close relationship.
States including Oklahoma and Kentucky have received more of some equipment than they requested, while others such as Illinois, Massachusetts and Maine have secured only a fraction of their requests."
The government is distributing emergency Covid-19 supplies. But some states are losing out. Florida has received all the supplies it has asked for. But most states haven’t. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-polit...ral-government
This is just my opinion. I think some people want to see this happen. It is seen among some as "since you don't support Trump, you don't deserve supplies, good stuff,etc".

The ventilators they have are not enough, have you even listened to him?
And have you not heard that Cuomo refused to even purchase the necessary ventilators back in 2015 that was recommended by the Dept of Health in case of such an emergency.
People are on these threads 24/7 - never bothering to read what has been posted before making ridiculous comments. Only their opinion on the matter is valid.
why would they hate it? maybe you better read your own link again.
"Pelosi said this committee is not about investigating the administration and will focus on making sure the trillions of dollars of new spending and the wide range of new programs are executed properly."

According to this data source New York will be short over 9,000 ventilators at its peak on 4/9/20. What's going to happen to those 9,000 people?
South Carolina will need will need about 376 ventilators at its peak on 4/28/20.
BTW both NY and SC will be short by about 12% (ventilators needed divided by number of beds needed).

Have you heard? That Rudy Giuliani put the diaster response center in the World Trade Center?
In case the point is lost, it's that no one is perfect....but some people are capable of action and others are not. Listening to Cuomo for even 60 seconds shows you something Trump lacks...and, frankly, that most all of the GOP Congress Critters (need I mentioned Nunes, etc.?) lack.
Intelligence. Capability. Compassion. Thought.
Maybe some forget what that is?
Oh, and NY has not run out of ventilators yet.....AND, of course (sadly), ventilators are not the cure. Many of them are being wasted in a sense as a last ditch effort.
It seems like some of you would praise the king for getting 35% on a 3 question multiple choice test while damning others that scored 80% or higher.
Now what, let's shut everything down, force people to stay in their homes and invoke martial law to patrol the streets and jail anyone out and about.
This will be the end of democracy and the beginning of tyranny.
