You were wrong about what you claimed. That certainly needed to be acknowledged given your responses here.

The parent answered your false claim, with what Cuomo said and what is actual fact: NY does not have ventilator shortages.

ABC Baltimore: "New York sending 50 ventilators to Maryland"

> "In our hour of need, other states stepped up to help us. We promised we would do the same," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said on Twitter Wednesday.

I'm sorry, you're right. There was a narrow window where there were concerns, but that passed. New York DOEs face ICU bed shortages.

My response here was mostly dismissive because the poster above is clearly trying to downplay the crisis for reasons I can only speculate on. After taking a lot of time to read through the poster's previous links, I'm quite frustrated with how much time I wasted on disingenuous garbage links.

But yes, I lumped Seattle (which briefly did have a ventilator shortage) in with New York on ventilators. This is pretty much the only thing I was wrong about and I'll take this opportunity to own up. But I won't engage earnestly with the previous poster any further.
