Odd point of view considering you ripped president Trump earlier in the thread

But the present is based on the past.

High level politicians have been insisting that there are plenty of ventilators available, not willing to change their position because it would make them look bad, leading to the possibility of actual excess future deaths.

This isn't just a blame game. It's life and death.

Now if you're trying to somehow refer (out of context) to people referring to political precedent, could you be a little more clear?

Everything is about communism to you. It’s obvious that deep down you yearn for it.

He wants America to be under Russian Control. He works for SVR like Anna and Maria.

If a party or politician is hindering the response in the present and the response required in the future, then we ought to give a shit.

It's all good unless it's a Democrat being criticized.
The best is, I am being attacked for saying it's wrong the leftists are doing this. JoeV brings up new Orleans and Louisiana, both Democrat controlled right now, blames Trump, and I get blamed for telling him it's not at fault (even forgetting the time frame in February when no one was predicting what we are in now).

Very well said.
Welcome to my world as well. JoeV, AlM and JayZ all seem to be the biggest hypocrites but there are others

The latest study from University of Washington is in line with what the politicians are saying, which is that there will be enough when the times comes:

The analysis also highlights the strain that will be placed on hospitals. At the epidemic's peak, sick patients could exceed the number of available hospital beds by 64,000 and could require the use of around 20,000 ventilators. Ventilators are already running short in hard-hit places like New York City.

But Cuomo knows more than the scientist amirite? NYC needs 30,000 but the entire country needs 20,000? And this is not a fluff study, it is a doom and gloom one predicting 81,000 deaths.

There are data visualizations of their projections here. If you select New York from the drop-down, it says we'll reach peak resource usage in 8 days. That's probably based on an old rate of increase. Cuomo claims here that it'll be 21 days from now because the hospitalization doubling rate has slowed from 2 to 3.4 to 4.7 days. The disparity between ventilator projections is curious.

Insufficient facts to understand the basis for their conclusions. What percentage of cases need a ventilator, and for how long do they need it?

Let me make up my own "facts" based on theirs.

80K deaths. Implies 8 million cases. Say 10% need a ventilator for 10 days each. Implies 8 million ventilator-days needed in the next 100 days. Implies 80,000 ventilators needed, not 20,000.

And no doubt Cuomo is being more conservative.

So what's the question?

Our death rate is close to 2% of those tested now. It's been going up.

If the death rate turns out to remain at 2% after increased testing, the percentage of those who need ventilators also is higher, and you end up at the same place.

Yeah, just pointing it out.

It's probably going higher because we were mostly only testing the really sick 1-2 weeks ago and they have been dying. The reality may be that the majority of people that have had it have already recovered and were never tested.

This Twitter thread explains some of the problems with the study's methodology and assumptions for the projections.
