New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he was comfortable with the number of ventilators in his state during a Monday press conference on the coronavirus pandemic.
“We don’t need any additional ventilators right now,” Cuomo said to reporters.
The New York governor spent recent weeks spreading the alarm about ventilator shortages, prompting fears that the federal and the state stockpile of ventilators would not be enough. But Cuomo now says the state government had moved and acquired thousands of ventilators in recent weeks, ending his concerns of a shortage.
“There is no hospital that needs ventilators that doesn’t have ventilators, there is no hospital that needs PPE (personal protective equipment) that doesn’t have it in the state system,” Cuomo said.
On Friday, Cuomo ordered the National Guard to acquire and move ventilators from hospitals around the state. On Saturday, Cuomo reported that China had donated 1,000 machines to New York, thanks to foundations set up by Alibaba founders Jack Ma and Joseph Tsai.
Cuomo also thanked states like Washington, Oregon, and California for releasing their own ventilators to help New York.
“That is the right attitude,” Cuomo said. “That’s the only way we do this as a nation, we’re going to have to be flexible.”
The New York governor asserted that even though the hospitals were at “red line” capacity, he felt that the state was successful in managing resources.
“Are we managing this situation that best that can be managed, yes, have we lost anyone who we could have saved, I don’t believe so,” he said. “With that, we can sleep at night.”

LANSING A Democratic state representative from Detroit is crediting hydroxychloroquine — and Republican President Donald Trump who touted the drug — for saving her in her battle with the coronavirus.
State Rep. Karen Whitsett, who learned Monday she has tested positive for COVID-19, said she started taking hydroxychloroquine on March 31, prescribed by her doctor, after both she and her husband sought treatment for a range of symptoms on March 18.
“It was less than two hours” before she started to feel relief, said Whitsett, who had experienced shortness of breath, swollen lymph nodes, and what felt like a sinus infection. She is still experiencing headaches, she said.
And the same people who are tabulating the numbers. AND, they know the higher the numbers, the more Fed Gov money.
Reality happened.
Meanwile, someone really ought to take a hard look at what’s going on with deaths of residents in nursing homes. NYS is not being transparent about the numbers.
The latest from New York Governor Emily Litella.
What! After all that bellyaching?
Bro, do you even know what you are doing? Or is this, as some have suggested that vents kill people with COVID.
And who tell us we have to have a green economy and the seas are rising, etc, etc, etc.
The model projected that New York would need 65,400 hospital beds by April 4, but only 15,905 were actually used, according to former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson.
