Florida requesting hundreds of ventilators from federal government: report
The Hill ^ | 08/10/2021 | Lexi Lonas

Florida is requesting hundreds of ventilators from the federal government after a surge in COVID-19 across the state, according to a Department of Health and Human Services planning document obtained by ABC News affiliate Local 10.

The request was made on Friday for 300 ventilators “to replace expended state stores,” the document said.

It was not clear how the ventilators would be allocated but they were expected to arrive in the state on Monday, according to the outlet.

The request comes as Florida is seeing more coronavirus cases and hospitalizations as the delta variant spreads mostly among unvaccinated individuals.

Money shot.... Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were reporting were incorrect and the state had more than 15,000 cases as of Sunday.

The CDC said the state had more than 28,000 new cases.

That’s it. Keep pushing the tyranny narrative. Lockdowns forever baby!

You are correct. Getting monoclonal antibodies quickly if you contract the disease is the only treatment worth considering.

Ventilators. A year and a half later and we’re still doing the very things that didn’t work the first time.

I guess it’s going to have to become an even more glaring failure of the vaccines before anyone can revisit effective early treatments like ivermectin. Or perhaps in 3 or 4 months Pfizer will have a “new” slightly molecularly different version of ivermectin that can be patented and sold for $120 a pill. Pfizermectin.

Florida needs more sunshine to help people’s vitamin D levels! (sarcasm yes?)

Slapping you onto a ventilator is a death sentence.

My wife and I had the CCP bioweapon virus in January/February of 2020 before it had a name and survived it without doctor visits or pharmaceuticals, and I have the IgG and IgM antibodies to prove it.

Thank God we were too dumb to run to the hospital so they could slap us onto ventilators for the $39,000 each.

Really? Where have I suggested a lock down? I have not, nor do I advocate it. However it is the definition of insanity to state carte Blanche this is untrue when I am aware of the facts and the facts are that this is not fear porn. It is true.

The only glass narrative is the head in the sand approach some are taking.

The deep state wouldn’t send people into Florida to spread the virus - would they?

Because the multitude of Florida COVID disaster stories smell an awfully lot like hit pieces on Ron DeSantis?

Nobody is even talking about Louisiana which is leading the country in per-capita COVID cases right now. But why would they? Louisiana has a Democrat governor and a vast population of unvaccinated black Americans.

Did I recall reading that all the extra tens (hundreds?) of thousands of ventilators made last year were all disposed of and mashed?

Being put on a ventilator is a death sentence, IMO.

It is both ignorant and untrue that we “slap” people on the ventilator. It is disgusting to suggest we do it for payment. It is clear that your statement continues to not understand the economics of health care or the current care rendered for the critically ill with CoVId.

Vent support is the absolute last measure we employ.

The attacks are tiresome and incorrect

The one thing we probably can agree to is that if you become symptomatic seeking regeneron like what the face president Trump is the best and most efficacious thing one can do.
