President Donald Trump on Thursday night expressed doubt that New York really needed tens of thousands of ventilators, despite the urgent pleas from health-care professionals and that state’s governor.
In a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity, Trump suggested there doesn’t need to be that steep of a ramp-up in production.
“Look, it’s a very bad situation,” he continued. “We haven’t seen anything like it. But the end result is we gotta get back to work and I think we can start by opening up certain parts of the country.” On Tuesday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo blasted the federal response to the coronavirus crisis in his state, and especially hard-hit New York City. He said the state urgently needed 30,000 ventilators, but the Federal Emergency Management Agency had only committed to sending 400.
