You, like trump, are too lazy to read

The report does not indicate that the state had the funds to buy 16,000 additional ventilators "at a very low price," as Trump said. It also does not say that the task force recommended to the governor buying 16,000, or that he turned down that suggestion.

Cuomo’s communications director told PolitiFact that Trump "obviously didn’t read the document he’s citing."

"This was a five-year-old advisory task force report, which never recommended the state procure ventilators — it merely referenced that New York wouldn't be equipped with enough ventilators for a 1918 flu pandemic. No one is, including Mr. Trump," said Cuomo spokesperson Dani Lever.

Why not stick with the facts?
Fact #1
In 2015 DemoRAT Cuomo was told NY was 16000 ventilators short in case of a pandemic
Fact #2
DemoRAT Cuomo did NOT buy 16000ventilators
Fact #3
New York spent about 150 billion dollars in 2016
Fact #4
New York is critically short ventilators for Covid-19

Exclusive: U.S. slashed CDC staff inside China prior to coronavirus outbreak


"The CDC office in Beijing is a shell of its former self," said one of the people, a U.S. official who worked in China at the time of the drawdown.

Separately, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the global relief program which had a role in helping China monitor and respond to outbreaks, also shut their Beijing offices on Trump’s watch. Before the closures, each office was staffed by a U.S. official. In addition, the U.S. Department of Agriculture(USDA) transferred out of China in 2018 the manager of an animal disease monitoring program.

In a press briefing on Sunday, Trump criticized the Reuters story as “100 percent wrong.” Yet the CDC acknowledged the position had been cut. The agency said the decision was made because of China’s “excellent technical capability,” and said the elimination of that post did not hamper the U.S. effort to respond to the coronavirus outbreak.

The CDC staffing documents newly reviewed by Reuters show a sharp decline in the overall number of employees at the agency in Beijing, with 33 out of 47 positions lost.

The documents show the breakdown between American and Chinese staffers. The number of so-called American “assignees” declined to three positions from eight at the outset of the administration. Positions lost included medical epidemiologists and other experts in infectious diseases.

The biggest cuts were to positions filled by Chinese employees on the U.S. payroll, down to around 10 from 40 over the same period. Many of those local hires included medical and disease experts, according to the people who spoke with Reuters.

trump has been president* 1,160 days, 19 hours, 12 minutes and counting. How many items needed has he ordered to be purchased or manufactured to date.

Hey Fedex it’s not your fault you can’t answer this. Peter Navarro, trump’s Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, couldn’t answer it either when asked by CNN’s Brianna Keilar.

Job Vacancies and Inexperience Mar Federal Response to Coronavirus

There are a total of 75 senior positions in the Department of Homeland Security, 20 are either vacant or filled by “acting” officials, including acting Secretary Chad Wolf. He was the most recent Trump official who struggled under questioning by the U.S. Senate about how many respirators and protective masks were available from the federal government.

When people breached the 6-foot distance requirement to see the cherry blossoms at the Washington, D.C. Tidal Basin, there was no director at the capital region’s National Park Service. The department is like many agencies, full of vacancies.

Workers at the Department of Veterans Affairs don’t have any experience in disaster response. They failed to prepare for the overwhelming number of cases they would face at VA hospitals. They’re desperately trying to buy medical supplies on Amazon. Senior officials said they have no idea whether they should continue to refuse care and send veterans back into the community for healthcare. They explained that they only learn about updates the news media about what they’re supposed to do.
