That is absolutely irresponsible. If there is any justice, he will catch the virus himself and end up on a ventilator.
Sometimes something is not better than nothing, especially when that something can accumulate and transmit bacteria and disease, harm or kill already critical patients.
Prove that it works as well and as safely as a real ventilator and thatās great, But it looks like something a 10 year old threw together for the science fair.
Engineering is hard. Gov. Coumo is smart to not throw money around like a drunk at strip club. There are plenty of companies whoās ears perked up when the Pres. started talking billion dollar Gov. money. Not all of them are worth it.
If someone rolled one of those in on me Iād be more than tempted to take my chances with the morphine and the nurse with big titties.

I hear mouth to mouth is way more enjoyable way to breatheā¦
too bad youāll have the virus and sheāll be in protective gear
If you hook it up to a screen on wheels it would look a lot like other ventilators. Ever seen one?
About 8 months ago when I spent 4 days in a cardiac ICU.
Thereās a nurse/fitness model/complete bombshell from the nicu at childrenās I knew from growing up.
If she doesnāt make your pulse race, youāre a gonner.

Does Cuomo even have the power to approve medical equipment? Should he even have that power?
Did you see what the actual ventilator itself looked like, without the exterior and screen? That thing you said looked like a science project looks like a ventilator. If it works then it should be put to use.

He certainly says he does. Out there telling the feds to āchoose the 26k that are going to dieā because he doesnāt have the ventilators available. He has the power to give global foundries a 697 million dollar grant, but suddenly the red tape gets in the way now. Bullshit.
Should he have the power unilaterally? No. But generations have ceded it to the executive in NY and im sick of hearing him bitch when heās just playing politics. Itās one party rule in this state. Rule by dictate.

No, I left it intact. Between the drugs and the big heart attack and failure I wasnāt feeling very mechanically inclined.
Maybe next time though, huh? If they donāt have to shock me back to life Iāll be sure to get right on that. 
Iām with you on this one, dude. Heās had no problem speaking out about everything and hasnāt done a terrible job so far, so if this is posturing when lives are at stake, itās just ridiculous. If thereās anything he can say or do to make more ventilators appear when people need them, he needs to do it.
I donāt know anything about the nature of said ventilators, though. Just commenting on the face value of this.
So you have no basis on which to criticize the machines turned down by Cuomo because you have no idea what it even looks like. Glad we got that sorted out.
And You think wheels and a screen make it a ventilator!
Thereās no shame in ducking out on this man. I get that youāre butthurt. No need to continue spanking yourself.
Do you even know if those ventilators work?
But thatās not what happened. They werenāt turned down at all.
Thatās nice. But howās the stock market?
If itās as dire a situation as theyāre making it out to be, then a detailed rejection of said ventilators and their effectiveness should be reached quickly and publicly. It canāt be apocalypse and bearocracy simultaneously. Otherwise he needs to get off the soapbox.

Did you even read the article, or just look at the pictures and say āclose enough for me!ā
And
They actually tell us itās a piece of shit themselves.

I told you your son could start making them in the garage. He could sell two or three and have enough to pay for college.
