The Pu$$y Grabber could have sent the Sexual Harasser more than the 400-Ventillors he sent from the national stockpile of reserve equipment when New York asked for 24,000 of them. He said he might need 30,000 but the Pu$$y Grabber inflated that to 40,000. At the time New York hospitals had almost19,000-critically ill COVID-19 inpatients, some of them dying from the lack of ventilators. At the same time this was going on, the Pu$$y Grabber was predicting that COVID-19 would "magically disappear," by May (the following month). The American people rejected the Pu$$y Grabber's perverse public posturing when their countrypeople were dropping like flies, and elected Joe Biden President over him by 10-million votes. Don't waste your energy trying to make Trump out to be some sort of a hero. When health care historians write the book on Covid-19, hundreds of thousands of American deaths will be lain at his feet.
Seriously, I worked as Administrative Officer for the Surgical program at a major university affiliated medical center. One of the early pioneers of hip transplants asked me to buy two hips for a planned surgery. They were very expensive back then. I asked why he needed two. He said that he needed a "back-up," in case the first one became contaminated mid-surgery. The fact of the matter is New York probably did not need 24,000 ventilators. Health care providers ask for more than they need, just in case.
