Trump administration’s delayed use of 1950s law leads to critical supplies shortages
The Lack of Ventilators is going to be Donald Trump’s Lasting Legacy!
Fact check: Trump claimed he was left ‘no ventilators.’ His administration just confirmed he had more than 16,000
FEMA tells House panel national supply of ventilators running low
Projected ventilator demand ‘outstrips the capacity’ of national stockpile, FEMA tells Congress
President Donald Trump has said help is on the way in the form of 100,000 ventilators that are being manufactured, but FEMA officials said the bulk of those would not be available “until late June at the earliest,” the release said. On Thursday, Trump announced that he was using the Defense Production Act to help the companies making ventilators get the supplies they need speed up production.
States in FEMA Region III — Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Washington, D.C. — had asked for 5.2 million N95 respirator masks, but as of Monday, they had received 445,000, less than 10 percent, according to the documents. They also requested 194 million pairs of gloves and had received 991,000, less than 1 percent. The areas also asked for 15,000 body bags but had yet to receive any by the end of March.

Coronavirus Emails: Federal Official Warned of Mask & Glove Shortages a Month Ago
““We should plan assuming we won’t have enough PPE—so need to change the battlefield and how we envision or even define the front lines,” Dr. Carter Mecher, a physician and senior medical adviser at the Department of Veterans Affairs, wrote on Feb. 25. It would be weeks before front-line health workers would take to social media with the hashtag #GetMePPE and before health systems would appeal to the public to donate protective gear.”
We have questions!

This sentence should TERRIFY everyone:
“Bill, somehow the word got out that this is the thing we’re supposed to be doing.”

A crisis reveals character – what is the Bible verse? “Iron Sharpens Iron” – In Alabama it is “I am getting MY ventilator!”
Ventilators limited for the disabled? Rationing plans are slammed amid coronavirus crisis

What is a ventilator? The ‘critical resource’ that is in short supply
Sharing a single ventilator between 4 patients is possible. But it could be disastrous.
We have 62,000 Ventilators. We need 960.000!
United States Resource Availability for COVID-19
“Supply of mechanical ventilators in U.S. acute care hospitals: Based on a 2009 survey of AHA hospitals, U.S. acute care hospitals are estimated to own approximately 62,000 full-featured mechanical ventilators.10,11 Approximately 46% of these can be used to ventilate pediatric and neonatal patients. Additionally, some hospitals keep older models for emergency purposes. Older models, which are not full featured but may provide basic functions, add an additional 98,738 ventilators to the U.S. supply.10 The older devices include 22,976 noninvasive ventilators, 32,668 automatic resuscitators, and 8567 continuous positive airway pressure units.
Estimates of hospitalized patients requiring critical care and mechanical ventilation: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimated in 2005 that 865,000 U.S. residents would be hospitalized during a moderate pandemic (as in the 1957 and 1968 influenza pandemics) and 9.9 million during a severe pandemic (as in the 1918 influenza pandemic).16 A recent AHA webinar on COVID-19 projected that 30% (96 million) of the U.S. population will test positive, with 5% (4.8 million) being hospitalized. Of the hospitalized patients, 40% (1.9 million) would be admitted to the ICU, and 50% of the ICU admissions (960,000) would require ventilatory support.17 Such projections, however, are gross estimates. Some assumptions underlying these projections are uncertain, and the pacing of a large outbreak would influence whether ICU resources in isolated locations or nationally are severely taxed over many months or quickly overwhelmed over a shorter period. Additionally, COVID-19 patients may remain mechanically ventilated for indeterminate periods of time, with some developing prolonged or chronic critical illness requiring the extended use of ICU beds, ventilators, supplies, and trained clinicians.
