Production to begin the week of April 20? That will be too late for New York state's predicted peak. Pitiful. But I blame the Trump administration, which declared a national health emergency on January 30th, and could have used the Defense Producation Act at that time to ensure we had all the PPE and ventilators expected to be needed. I'm sure the CDC could have come up with numbers for expected needs.

Now that I think of it, this probably would have required a nationwide inventory, which might have triggered the kind of coordination among hospitals that Governor Cuomo has been talking about.
