Ventilators

I am not seeing any talk about ventilators anymore.

What about the ventilators? Why the silence on ventilators? The government had to force companies to make ventilators, but now that they are still getting ready to put them into production, no need for ventilators.

Looks like a bunch of wasted money and man hours.

he references the article:

So, this 500 ventilator order, what is it for? Why ...[text shortened]... es-back-after-cnns-acosta-accuses-him-hap/

So who's playing politics with peoples lives?!? SMH...

@no1marauder

So about 400 ventilators are likely to be needed. I wonder how many ventilators are already in Colorado.

@joe-shmo

Even if it is just New York and New Jersey peaking, in 2 or 3 weeks there will be many ventilators freed up.

@no1marauder said
Would you agree that it is better to have an ample supply of ventilators just in cause the pandemic is worse there then previously expected?

@joe-shmo said
6500 That's cumulative cases from march 8th! Many of those people have either died or recovered by now.

What is the demographic of the 1312 currently hospitalized? What percentage of those will likely need ventilators to survive? The cumulative cases of people entering hospitalization are peaking. There is not going to be an influx of hospitalizations. There will not be a need for 500 Ventilators unless there is a need for 500 ventilators NOW!

Look at the Cumulative Hospitalizations by Date of onset. The number of new hospitalizations per day has been increasing by 10's per day! They have literally increased 100 cases since April 2nd!

PS. Thank you for providing me the tools necessary to shred your ludicrous argument.

Active cases are 6,220 as of NOW. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

I'm impressed by the medical expertise of right wing posters here; I mean who are the bozos in the Colorado Department of Health & Environment to dare give estimates of what equipment will be needed to deal with this pandemic when we have Joe and Eldy?
