But they figured out how to fix them.

quote:
Gov. Gavin Newsom on Saturday said the federal government sent Los Angeles County 170 ventilators that arrived “not working,” and now a Silicon Valley company is fixing the equipment amid the coronavirus outbreak.

California and other states have been stocking up on ventilators in anticipation of a shortage at hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Newsom said he learned about the problem with the federal government’s ventilators when he visited Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti on Friday.

“Rather than lamenting about it, rather than complaining about it, rather than pointing fingers, rather than generating headlines in order to generate more stress and anxiety, we got a car and a truck,” Newsom said.

“And we had those 170 brought here to this facility at 8 a.m. this morning, and they are quite literally working on those ventilators right now,” Newsom said.

Newsom spoke about the ventilators at a press conference at a Bloom Energy refurbishing site in Sunnyvale on Saturday with San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo.

Bloom’s core business is in repairing and refurbishing fuel-cell power generators sold to large companies and nonprofits. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Newsom said the company is refurbishing more than 500 older ventilators owned by the state.

The governor said the company will also fix and return the 170 ventilators the federal government sent to Los Angeles County by Monday. “That’s the spirit of California,” Newsom said. “That’s the spirit of this moment.”

Brought to you by the same administration that planned to dump large quantities of undocumented immigrants in “sanctuary cities”?

When will Congress grow a pair and start investigating this crap?

Someone else wants an investigation on a different topic.

quote:
President Donald Trump went off on a rant accusing hospitals, doctors and nurses of hoarding equipment and intentionally exaggerating the things they need.

Speaking in the Rose Garden Sunday, Trump asked, “How do you go from 10 to 20 to 300,000 masks? Where are the masks going, are they going out the backdoor?”

Indeed, the masks are going in the trash after they’re used. The masks are one-use masks, which Trump said he wants to be able to sanitize them so people can reuse them.

“They have to look into that in New York,” Trump said, noting that he heard they went from 10,000 masks to 300,000 masks.

Once again, my jaw hit the floor. It was like the time he said he couldn't understand why they need so many ventilators.

He simply does not understand how this disease blows away everything that is "regular" operation because of the crush and type of patients that come in with the virus.

KR Sridhar, founder of Bloom Energy, says they will have repaired/refurbished 1000 ventilators by the end of the week.

Some Stanford folks certify them before they go out.

Cool

And Newsom is asking people to look in their basements and garages for equipment.
