Dishonest attack given that we have had no evidence of ventilator shortages anywhere. In fact, NY is now sending ventilators to other states.

Some states has projected shortages, but luckily never materialized and feds distributes correctly.
In fact, the press ended up looking pretty bad by baselessly insisting Cuomo’s demands were a good reflection of needs. If Feds had given in to the outrage, could have led to shortages elsewhere.
As @rkylesmith points out here, these states are now past their initial peaks and distributing excess ventilators to others despite never having their full requests from the feds fulfilled.

It's really embarrassing when Trump, who isn't exactly known for paying attention to details, has a better handle of the facts and situation than a reporter that has had time to research beforehand.
We didn't have community spread of the virus until late Feb. There was no need for widespread testing in January (though we should have started the process). We are currently doing ~146K tests per day.
The "many Americans are saying" thing is nonsense revisionist history. She claims he shouldn't have had rallies in February because it was clear.. umm why were leading Dems having similar rallies 2 weeks into March????

Maybe it wasn't clear then...

This is ridiculous.

The program was meant to retain jobs for small businesses. Among the loans handed out, banks also gave some to some franchise locations for a few major chains (those are also small businesses where regular people work & need their jobs!)
The program isn't perfect, but it is effectively doing what we need it to do, which is to keep these businesses afloat and keep people employed.

Pelosi is holding countless American jobs hostage. Jobs that might never return.

That is worthy of outrage.
Every small business that is qualified shd get the loans. The problem isn't that some hotels or restaurant franchise locations are getting it, but that others are not and the program is out of $. It desperately needs more funding to succeed, & Pelosi is blocking that.

You see similar graphs in almost every hot spot, which immediately demonstrates how stupid it is that some are suggesting shutdowns in areas that did not have extensive community spread yet didn't have a major impact.

Imagine if you had that in every major city in the US.
You can't say "we need to assess the tradeoffs related to certain actions" if you refuse to honestly acknowledge the consequences of some actions and just pretend like they have 0 impact (= just like the flu crowd).
Let me put it another way to show why comparing flu deaths/mortality and COVID-19 makes no sense: If we had similar lockdowns as we have now for flu season, flu deaths would be a lot closer to 0 than 30-60K. There would be no surge in hospitals.
