    400 initially, then FEMA sent 4000 more because downstate New York is in crisis, leaving other states short for the moment. New York has not had one single day so far when a patient needed a ventilator and did not get one. The state still has a surplus.

    You would have been OK with Obama bashing tv hosts during the ebola crisis?

    No, you would not have. And we weren't losing 20,000 americans. The hypocrisy of Republicans is staggering.

    Zero. (No thanks to Cuomo or DiBlasio who didn't prepare as well as governors of other states for an unexpected health crisis.)

    Obama bashed Fox News consistently throughout his reign in office. The only difference is that Republicans only have Fox. Democrats have dozens of media outlets for a president to bash. ;)

    luckily we have a surplus due to our strong social distancing rules.

    had we waited a week, things might be much worse.

    If you had a surplus why demand another 10k?

    Surely, if he were "honest", he should have been screaming, "Get ready! We're all going to die! ...and I take complete and total responsibility for all of your deaths!" :)

    we asked for more when we thought things would get MUCH MUCH worse.

    they were expecting 16,000 dead in just NY alone

    The initial model predictions were ridiculously high.

    If DiBlasio hadn't been slack about closing schools, New York City might not be the global hot spot epicenter of the virus today. So there's that.

    100% of overwhelmed emergency room Doctors and Nurses approve of Dr. Fauci. That’s all you really need to know right now.

    this is not a perfect science.

    we've also never done this before.

    Fox and Rush and Breitbart and Alex Jones (well, not him anymore)..

    When did Obama bash Fox News? I don't ever remember him even talking about them much.

    What about British Columbia, population 4.7 million, and Louisiana, population 4.65 million.

    Note: British Columbia, first State/Province to establish a Covid Task Force, and by Jan 21st, BC was ready for mass testing, no delays, and no flaws;

    Results; Apr 13

    British Columbia;

    Number of confirmed cases; 1,445
    Number of confirmed deaths; 58

    Louisiana;

    Number of confirmed cases; 20,595
    Number of confirmed deaths; 840

    A fair comparison?

    That's the problems with hoarders. Most states tried asking for 10k to 20k. Cuomo asked for 30,000, then one week later, for 50,000.

    It was DiBlasio's job to plan and prepare for an unexpected health crisis in New York City.
    If he failed, it was the county's health department's job to prepare for all the cities in that county.
    If the city mayor and county health fail to do their jobs, it is the state governor's job to plan and prepare for failed cities/counties.

    The last ditch effort is that the U.S. government will step in and save those who fail. That's who we are. That's what we're doing.

    New York has most of the resources in the country right now.

    When did Trump indicate he wanted to fire Fauci?

    BS. Trump and his cult are looking for a fall guy to blame when this is over. They have decided on Fauci.

    Watch as the Cult starts blaming Fauci for the entire economic crisis. Forget that Trump is President - he will claim that Fauci forced him to close everything down and the cult will pile on. You can already see the groundwork being set up.

    Yes, Trump really is that much of a dick.

    So its fine for Fauci to say we should have started the Shut downs earlier when he said as late as Feb 29th that this was going to be no big deal?

    Or you do call anyone that has any clue a "cult" member?

    that would be the other extreme, I am suggesting Trump just state the facts and not go to either extreme

    How many tests and what's the population, # of big cities and their respective density. Compare the city of New Orleans to whatever the largest city in British Columbia is.

    The mayor of New Orleans, Mayor LaToya Cantrell, screwed up royally when she allowed Mardi Gras to continue. John Bel Edwards screwed up "bigly" by not overruling her decision.

    Were any big events which would attract global tourism to British Columbia held there in the last 2-3 months? I'm guessing no.

    Because Obama was a decent guy. He didn't go on tweetstorms savaging people. That wasn't Obama's style. For the last three years, Obama has somehow avoided the urge to bash Trump publicly. I couldn't have done that. It's just not in my character to stay quiet long.
