The supply of ventilators also exceeds other developed countries, another study found. But as with ICU beds, “there is wide variation [in ventilators available] across states,” the study found."
I did not read the link, but does it include the number that are available and not in use by non-virus patients?

I am finding out a lot of people do not know math, as in comprehending exponential growth, nor know some medical things like anti-bacterial in regards to viruses, and what even ICU and ventilators are.

It would be very odd for ND to have that many excess ventilators. The population of North Dakota is about 761,000. Poor example.

This could happen here unless we hunker down and I don't see people taking it seriously UNTIL a loved one gets it.

None of these countries with central health systems prohibit privately funded health care. There's still a free market.

The wonders of socialist medicine. Liberals will probably also support affirmative action in how respirators are distributed, they would give one to an illegal immigrant, or a black gangbanger shot in a drive-by, first.

Fake news. It's all just a hoax to make Trump look like the idiot that he is. Get on your Easter Shopping clothes and get ready for some good old fashioned American fun! Your first $1200 is on Uncle Sam this year!


No credit? No problem. Trump and Mnuchin are issuing very low interest credit cards with up to $10,000 spending limit for qualified applicants.

I was talking about Italy - not the U.S.
