The median number of full-feature mechanical ventilators per 100,000 population for individual states is 19.7 (interquartile ratio 17.2-23.1), ranging from 11.9 to 77.6.

That's straight from your link. Further is says there are ~170,000 vents total..

In addition, respondent hospitals reported owning 82,755 ventilators other than full-feature mechanical ventilators; we estimate that there are 98,738 devices other than full-feature ventilators at all of the US acute care hospitals.

Troll?

Ohhh fuck me 20 per 100,000 and I'm being generous. I'd call that good then.

it's 20x more than the stock pile that had you very concerned. If that doesn't ameliorate your fear then I'd say that your fear isn't based on anything to begin with.
