In reply to the discussion: Governor to take ventilators for NYC as hospitals buckle [View all]SergeStorms
(19,201 posts)24. I live just outside of Rochester....
and they're having nowhere near the spike in cases that NYC is having. I think there have been 14 deaths in Monroe County to date. I haven't kept up with what's going on in Erie County.
I was talking about getting equipment from outside of the state, not inside. There are areas of the country that have extra equipment at the moment, and they actually have a minimum of corona cases in those states. Let New York borrow that equipment until/if they need it. Having equipment sitting around doing nothing when people are dying elsewhere is ridiculous.
