Are they hoarding them, or are they waiting for when they will need more as this thing peaks?Sorry. Let me revis, the governor of NY has said they will require anywhere from 17,000 to 40,000 additional ventilators. They have acquired 4400 from the Federal government, 1100 from an Alibaba donation out of China, and they had about 2000 in state stockpile. Another 140 have been donated by Washington State because they had extra. Cuomo also ordered hospitals in upstate NY to give up their respirators as they are not in use. Cuomo said he ordered 17,000 but no one has any as every level of government and entire countries are seeking to buy them.
Anyhow the ICU covid patients requiring these machines in NY have dropped alittle from a few days ago and stands at approx 3800 . NY hospitals have atleast 7500 ventilators altogether in use. So they are hoarding ventilators and the U.S. has pretty much bought them all up where poor nations are screwed at this point.
