Trump accuses New York hospitals of ‘hoarding’ masks and ventilators without evidence – Raw Story

President Donald Trump went off on a rant accusing hospitals, doctors and nurses of hoarding equipment and intentionally exaggerating the things they need.

Speaking in the Rose Garden Sunday, Trump asked, “How do you go from 10 to 20 to 300,000 masks? Where are the masks going, are they going out the backdoor?”
========================================
Indeed, the masks are going in the trash after they’re used. The masks are one-use masks.
 
Unfortunately common sense is foreign to him. Someone should ask him where all the TP went in his bathroom and why does he need more.

Examples Trump might have been referring to:


Stealing:

People are stealing face masks from local hospitals, Gov. Cuomo says


Openly hoarding:

"... “Somebody said one of the cable news shows, the ventilators that New York needed aren’t even being deployed — they’re in a stockpile,” Cuomo said, paraphrasing Birx’s comments without naming her.

“Yes they’re in a stockpile because that’s where they’re supposed to be because we don’t need them yet. We need them for the apex. The apex isn’t here so we’re gathering them in the stockpile so when we need them they will be there,” Cuomo said. ..."

Cuomo defends need for ventilators after Trump called it overblown


Hidden hoarding:

Union finds 39 million N95 masks for hospitals, more than US stockpile - Business Insider

He did no such thing. He suggested that the press look into why the volume of masks used is 30x more than usual at specific hospitals.

Stick to facts Jack, there is enough mud to make your case, no reason to twist things using your favorite rags. Nothing from China on the story?

Didn't the orange oaf proclaimed the doctors where amazed at how much he knows about this stuff? Well clearly he knows nothing about hygiene and good hospital practices in the middle of a pandemic.

And he is a total

I watched the briefing and what he said isn't remotely close to how you're characterizing it.

Yes, it is very terrible, but tell me, besides being an insensitive individual, this has what to do with my response? My post showed what kind of person Trump is, your response just showed what kind of person you are.

You didn't already know?

Apdst is all about caring about people. Except for foreigners.

It's "written in his DNA."

You call Trump a dunce, but Holland's death rate is 6.5x higher than ours.

If Trump gets all the blame for the defeats, he gets all the credit for the victories, no matter how small.

And they are farther ahead of the curve than we are.

The Trump crowd is whistling past the graveyard, just like their fearful leader.

If you think that we aren’t headed for exactly where other countries already are, you’re no smarter than that fool you keep making excuses for.

Yup, I call Trump a dunce because of the comments he made. The death rate of corona however has nothing to do with his rather incredibly stupid comments. All your comments show is your personality and the lack of a modicum of decency.

And Trump gets the blame for doing stupid things. WHEN he does something good, at the right moment in time (meaning pro-actively), I will give him a ****ing compliment. But he NEEDS to deserve such complement.

And no, the credit for the victories go to the CDC, the governors and the hard working men and women in the health care profession.

They are much further ahead numerically, but they are almost a week behind the USA in the "days since case 100" metric that all the curve graphs use. They have a ways to go to the same point we are on the curve.
