Ventilator Stockpiles, Governor Cuomo and Hospital Capacity
Dr. Deborah Birx and Governor Andrew Cuomo provide conflicting narratives regarding a ventilator shortage in New York. While the media reported a desperate lack of equipment, Birx stated that thousands of ventilators remained unutilized in stockpiles. Cuomo later clarified that while hospitals had enough for current needs, they were stockpiling equipment in anticipation of a projected "apex" in 20 days.
