NY receives very little from federal government

Cuomo says NY needs 30,000 ventilators, pleads with feds for help

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) begged the Trump administration on Tuesday for more ventilators, warning that the peak of the coronavirus could hit the state in 14 days.
Cuomo said the state needs at least 30,000 of the breathing machines to care for the influx of coronavirus patients that is expected to hit New York in two weeks. So far, the state has procured 7,000, but has only received 400 from the federal government.
“There is no other way for us to get these ventilators,” Cuomo said at a press conference Tuesday.

“We’ve tried everything else. The only way we can obtain these ventilators is from the federal government. Period.”
Ventilators are in short supply in the U.S. and all around the world as the coronavirus pandemic rages on.
Cuomo said the state needs more ventilators immediately as it prepares for the peak of the coronavirus to hit in two to three weeks, earlier than initial projections had estimated. The virus is spreading quickly in New York, Cuomo said, with the case count doubling every three days. There are 25,000 cases in New York, making up 7 percent of the world's infections. 

Cuomo and other governors have pleaded with the Trump administration for more ventilators from the national stockpile of medical supplies. There are about 12,700 ventilators in that stockpile, but Cuomo said the administration has only sent 400 to New York.

“What am I going to do with 400 ventilators when I need 30,000?” Cuomo said.
“You pick the 26,000 people who are going to die because you only sent 400 ventilators.”
Cuomo also urged President Trump to use the Defense Production Act to force manufacturers to make more ventilators.
President Trump tweeted Tuesday that he hasn’t used the DPA because “no one has said NO!” to manufacturing equipment. But Cuomo argued businesses need start-up capital and contracts with the federal government to get ventilators out to states in such a short period of time.
“Volunteerism is nice. It is a beautiful thing… That is not going to get us there, and I do not for the life of me understand the reluctance to use the Defense Production Act,” Cuomo said.
“So you're asking a business to produce what is that sophisticated piece of electronic equipment a ventilator. And to do it in 14 days. That's an enormous undertaking. They can't do that on a voluntary basis,” Cuomo said, adding that they need money upfront from the government to hire workers and buy equipment.

Rockford hospital furloughs some personnel?

Mercyhealth issues temporary furloughs for its employees

By WIFR Newsroom |

Posted: Mon 3:44 PM, Mar 23, 2020

ROCKFORD, Ill. (WIFR) -- Effective Monday, March 23, a temporary furlough program will be put in place for employee/partners who are not providing direct patient care and for those that provide services that can be delayed.

Mercyhealth officials say they do not expect this to last more than a few weeks. In a press release, the medical system says, "Mercyhealth continues to work hard to ensure our patient care teams are prepared as the COVID-19 pandemic has hit our community. We must abide by orders from the State of Illinois, and likely soon Wisconsin, to “shelter in place” and maintain social distancing until further notice. These are unprecedented times. In order to make sure we are positioned to meet our patients’ expected needs for critical care services and survive the economic challenges presented by this COVID-19 situation, Mercyhealth had to make difficult decisions.

Mercyhealth Human Resources will be available to assist partners with questions about these temporary furloughs to help employees through this difficult time.
