“In at least 10 government reports from 2003 to 2015, federal officials predicted the United States would experience a critical lack of ventilators and other lifesaving medical supplies if it faced a viral outbreak like the one currently sweeping the country,” CNN reports. “The drumbeat of warnings undermines President Trump’s claim last week that ‘nobody in their wildest dreams‘ could have imagined the demand for ventilators that now exists.”
Sports radio personality Mike Francesa, a longtime defender of President Trump, tore into him over the coronavirus pandemic for saying he’ll have done “a very good job” if between 100,000 to 200,000 Americans die from the infections. Said Francesa: “How is that a good job in our country? Not if another 198,000 people die. So now 200,000 people are disposable?”
