> ventilator shortages What ventilator shortage? I haven't heard of one instance where someone was denied use of a ventilator. We had states asking for ridiculous amounts of vents and then they attack Trump when they didn't get them. As Trump stated the Feds are not medical supply clerks, yes they have backups, but hospitals and states need to have their own supplies. Supposedly our peak was this week and the dreaded vent shortage has not happened yet.
