This isn’t going to go to 100,000 in a few weeks. Just like in a wartime need for something, functional ventilators can be manufactured in days to weeks. Maybe not the 2020 state of the art onesHowever, the need for ventilation services during a severe pandemic could quickly overwhelm these day-today operational capabilities. During a severe influenza pandemic, it has been projected that the demand for assisted ventilation in hospitals could increase by 25% or more.2
That is from your own link, so thanks for proving my point.
So.. China, a 3rd world country that’s been dealing with this for how long?? We have enough ventilators for them
Now, we can’t supply the USA which has such a minimal number, but will grow to 100,000 in a week

That link was a crude estimate of the number of ventilators.

It’s a figure of speech. They aren’t the USA.How in the world is China a 3rd world country? They have the 2nd highest GDP in the world and make up 15% of the worlds economy.
It’s a figure of speech. They aren’t the USA.
If they were, they wouldn’t have started this pandemic. Stay on topic
All I’m saying is that you’re much better at sticking to topics that you know about. Sure you can give your opinion on anything, but if we can’t keep up with supplying the USA with Ventilators is basically doomsdayHuh? I literally just replied to your statement, I dont know how I could have stayed anymore on topic. Is Italy a 3rd world country too though, just asking for your opinion since I am so dumb.
People in Italy are dying because of basic lack of medicine and care as well, and that is the concern here as well. I heard last night, that our entire country only has 72,000 respirators. If this does spread to hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, we are going to have people die too because we dont have the supplies to handle it.
Again, nobody is defending China.
Some medical care could be overwhelmed in certain areas. It’s a remote possibilityYou have no idea what it is going to get to, you are just guessing. Hopefully you are right, but if you dont think our medical system getting overwhelmed is a concern by a lot of intelligent people, then you arent paying attention.
Weird. Doesnt Italy have single payer healthcare?
Some medical care could be overwhelmed in certain areas. It’s a remote possibility
THAT is why it’s a remote possibility, because your great president is all over thisIt isnt a remote possibility. It is precisely the reason we are shutting down all of these major events and what not, to try and prevent it from spreading and overwhelming the system.
Yes, so does South Korea who has handled this about as well as anyone. And we dont and are severely lacking in our testing ability. It's almost like any type of healthcare system can get overwhelmed.
The UK has government health care and they’re basically in the same boat for testing. If this is where you want to make your MFA or government health care pitch, be careful.
Politico ran an article sayin that there are 160k ventilators that could be applied to this, and that doesn’t include the emergency stockpile and military assets. But the question isn’t how many we have as much as how many we will need.People in Italy are dying because of basic lack of medicine and care as well, and that is the concern here as well.

Jesus, EVERYTHING about the federal government's response to the virus has literally been schizophrenic, but you're concerned about the lack of 'unity' in peoples' criticism??!?It sure would be nice if the Democrats would find some way to unify their message so that it’s not just a huge trap where Trump is damned if he does anything or nothing at all.
Ah, I forgot. Your panic level is at maximum. I’ll leave you to it.Jesus, EVERYTHING about the federal government's response to the virus has literally been schizophrenic, but you're concerned about the lack of 'unity' in peoples' criticism??!?

On Ventilators due to this?
Biden shows real leadership. He says he would call in the Army to deal with this.
Real leadershipThe national guard has already been called into some areas.
The national guard is not the Army. There are very significant barriers to ever deploying the Army inside of the US borders for anything other than a defensive action against an external invader.The national guard has already been called into some areas.

I didnt say the national guard was the army, but Uh, Trump deployed active military at the Southern border. And yes, I know I know, in Trumplandia it is justified because we are at war with Mexican and Guatemalan immigrants or something.
“I would call out the military now,” Biden said at the Democratic presidential debate in Washington, D.C. “They have the ability to provide this surge that hospitals need. ... They have the capacity to build 500 hospital beds and tents that are completely safe and secure. It’s a national emergency, and I would call out the military.”
That is Biden's full quote BTW, he never actually said "Army" either, but of course as usual per usual on this board people don't provide links or quotes so they can just make up what someone says. But who knew building hospital beds and tents was so controversial.

If Biden is only going to do the same thing that we are doing now, it isnt real leadership. The national guard cant build 500-bed hospitals. Clearly he has a better, more well thought out plan when he says that he would call out the military.
He didn't say they could build 500 bed hospitals, re-read the quote. It is amazing how you are making what he said such an issue, but in two posts about it now you haven't been accurate about what he said in either post.
Trump has not called up the national guard, this has been individual states, so I would assume Biden is referring to do it on a much larger scale.
I stand corrected. The military can build 500 hospital beds and tents. Real leadership in action.
Calling upon the military for the extra manpower needed in hospitals and other areas is apparently highly controversial.Trump has not called up the national guard, this has been individual states, so I would assume Biden is referring to do it on a much larger scale.

But calling upon them to guard our southern border was not.
Guns dont kill illegal immigrants, infectious viruses do.Calling upon the military for the extra manpower needed in hospitals and other areas is apparently highly controversial.

Thankfully, Trump had things 'under control' by closing our borders to the virus, right?*Guns dont kill illegal immigrants, infectious viruses do.
Viruses cant climb walls. #winningThankfully, Trump had things 'under control' by closing our borders to the virus, right?*
