Absolutely! The only reason they were harping on ventilators was that they were thinking it hurst Trump. Did they ever go back to the same hospitals with crying nurses wanting ventilators? No, that would help Trump hence not newsworthy. On to testing now.
You don't believe they were concerned about a shortage of ventilators because more people might die? No, you're saying they wanted to hurt DJT. That's... a strange notion. Now you're saying the testing shortage is intended to hurt DJT? Again, strange. In the real world, don't you think most people prioritize saving people's lives? Harming DJT is well down the list of priorities for most folks.
A month or so ago I started designing and building a ventilator. It's ready now, but the urgency has gone way down. For the same reason you haven't heard much about ventilators on the news. There's no crisis there any more, there are plenty to go around.
There are always going to be ventilators. What does your's have over others? Cheaper, new features? There is a long way form a prototype to a production.
Duh. Your response has nothing to do with Vinny the Ventilator Cuomo’s bizarre raving about the need for 30,000, no make that 40,000 ventilators.
For weeks on end.

We didn't know what we needed in the beginning as you indicated, unknown asymptomatic virus that spreads rapidly. The last thing we wanted was to decide who gets a ventilator and who doesn't.
Plenty of blame to go around at every level of government, just a matter of time before this happened as many have predicted.
The only ones that are "selfish and self-centered" are those that insist that all others cater to their desires and phobias. Here's a little clue for you. If you have underlying medical conditions that can kill you-stay locked up in your home. Take care of yourself. NO ONE IS GOING TO KICK YOUR DOOR IN AND DRAG YOU INTO THE SCARY OUTSIDE! It ain't that hard. You can do so and protect yourself, as can others that are especially at risk. We can secure nursing homes, test everyone that works there AND STOP FORCING THEM TO TAKE COVID POSITIVE PATIENTS!
We can do so while basically healthy people get on with life, keep their businesses alive, earn a living and put food on the table and a roof over their heads. You apparently don't have a need to work and provide for yourself and your family-others are not so fortunate.
I am out of reps for you, or I would rep you again for that post!
