Fucking NY thinks they deserve all the ventilators! Cuomo says he will distribute them to the other states when NY is done. He literally says they need 40,000 ventilators now and Trump isn’t doing enough to produce them. WTF is Trump supposed to do? Go to an auto plant, put on some coveralls and work on the line? Sick of this blame crap. Cuomo should have done something sooner.

New Yorkers are out of their fucking minds with the privilege they feel just for living in or around the city. I have family down there and I urged them to consider leaving. We told them the window to come get them was closing (it is closed now btw) but we got "thank you but we know what is best and everyone is really working together, supply chains are working great and the only reason there are so many cases here is because we are so much better at testing than the rest of country" which might be true but then why are they trying to hoard all the ventilators? Also I'm sure they do know what is best and I definitely think this whole thing is way overblown, however being told in one breath that they can always hitch a ride out of the city with bartender friends or catch the train if shit hits the fan and in the next breath that everything is fine because they have apps that keep them informed about local crime is... astonishing.

Alinsky tactic. It's Cuomo's fault they don't have the ventilators in the first place.

NY Gov. Cuomo Rejected Buying Recommended 16,000 Ventilators in 2015 for Pandemic, Established Death Panels and Lottery Instead

Cuomo spent more money than the cost of the ventilators on a solar panel boondoggle, reports former New York Lieutenant Governor Betsy McCaughey (R) in a syndicated column published this past week. McCaughey reports the Cuomo administration decided instead to establish “triage officers” to decide in a crisis who would get a ventilator and who would be left to die.

It has also been reported a ventilator lottery would be an option in a pandemic crisis. Now with the COVID-19 Chinese coronavirus overwhelming New York hospitals, Cuomo is begging for ventilators.

Oh! A lottery! Wait. What do you mean that if you lose you die?

While you're waiting to shuffle off this mortal coil, you can pass the time reading Cuomo's 272 page Ventilator Allocation Guidelines to learn exactly why heads they win, tails you lose.
