still blown away by government officials suggesting we go back to work, and sacrifice old people for the rich man's economy:

Yes we do, seeing how New York, California, Washington State and Chicago are not part of the 'land of the free'.

New York state has 3,000 ventilators of the 160,000 in the USA.
Or less than 1% of the ventilators with 6% of the population.
Trump reveals a memo from 2015 where New York State Governor Cuomo declined to purchase 15,000 ventilators per recommendations from the New York State Task Force on Life and the Law.

We didn’t have to have ventilator shortage — leaders chose not to prep for pandemic
Several years ago (2015), after learning that the Empire State’s stockpile of medical equipment had 16,000 fewer ventilators than the 18,000 New Yorkers would need in a severe pandemic, state public-health leaders came to a fork in the road.
They could have chosen to buy more ventilators to back up the supplies hospitals maintain.
Instead, the health commissioner, Howard Zucker, assembled a task force for rationing the ventilators they already had.
2015 report titled VENTILATOR ALLOCATION GUIDELINES



N.Y. May Need 18,000 Ventilators Very Soon - NY Times
The panel, the New York State Task Force on Life and the Law, studied ventilators for years before issuing a 2015 report titled VENTILATOR ALLOCATION GUIDELINES offering guidance for hospitals on how to decide who to ventilate and who to effectively let die during an emergency. The advice is now frighteningly relevant.

Next trip to Wal-mart honey we need to get us a fish aquarium, Trump said them things will keep us virus free.

Orange Dear Leader floated the malaria drug as a possible treatment, and real doctors and scientists quickly disputed it and warned of the dangers. If Trump said to eat dog crap as a preventative measure, I'm sure you'd be out there with your bag and shovel.

Your president is a fool, sir.

The disgusting thing is you actually believe that. Take your meds. Really, all of them, at once, and chase them with Drano.

I know you're a science denier and that this is no big deal to you. Perhaps you should listen to medical experts, not politicians who are more concerned about money and votes than facts.

My sister in law was a fairly famous research doctor at a well-known CA bio-tech firm. Famous because she invented some breakthrough treatments for HIV. She retired early on her stock options and lives in Europe. This is my one point of contact with a true expert and no hype.

She says to pay attention to the epidemiologists. You know, scientists? People who actually have training is diseases and their treatment and prevention.

Dear Orange Leader knows nothing about almost anything, and you and the usual suspects here are going to take his word over a group of SCIENTISTS who spent (at least) 8 years of college learning about medicine and disease?

You defy logic and reason, sir.
