[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Meanwhile we are completely unprepared. Because Trump called this a hoax. And we have no ventilators. And he fired the pandemic response team.[/quote]

1. He never called it a hoax.  That is a Dem talking point--especially Dem Presidential candidates.  He said the Dems blaming him was a hoax.
2. [b]We do have ventilators.  We likely need more, but there have been no reports of anyone not being treated properly because of lack of ventilators.  If you have seen reports of that, please post your source.  It has been reported that there is a shortage of them in Italy.  Are you in Italy?[/b]
3. And, there was a reorganization and that third accusation has no impact on the current situation.  We have emergency people who prepare for that in other agencies, too. [/quote]
We’re all going to be in Italy soon, PP.

Read this, from another thread. An account written by someone working the front lines, published this morning.

“Reading about it in the news, I knew it was going to be bad, but we deal with the flu every year so I was thinking: Well, it’s probably not that much worse than the flu. But seeing patients with COVID-19 completely changed my perspective, and it’s a lot more frightening.”

This is knocking out what should be perfectly fit, healthy people.

“I have patients in their early 40s and, yeah, I was kind of shocked. I’m seeing people who look relatively healthy with a minimal health history, and they are completely wiped out, like they’ve been hit by a truck. This is knocking out what should be perfectly fit, healthy people. Patients will be on minimal support, on a little bit of oxygen, and then all of a sudden, they go into complete respiratory arrest, shut down and can’t breathe at all.”

“Hopefully we don’t get there, but if you only have one ventilator, and you have two patients, you’re going to have to go with the one who has a higher likelihood of surviving. And I’m afraid we’ll get to that point. I’ve heard that’s happening in Italy.”

:cry:  I’ve watched a loved one die on a ventilator, and it’s a horrible, horrible way to leave this earth.
