Every time you look at the TV and see Bill De Blasio blasting the president over emergency supplies as they are battling DTMNBN. ( Disease That Must Not Be Named) But what he isn’t telling you is that he made the decision not to buy masks and respirators when he first was warned that the supplies would be necessary.
He finally agreed to place an order in March, two months after the first indication that DTMNBN could become an epidemic. But the suppliers were out by that time. Then the order was ready but the red tape was holding up and when they got that cleared the way it turns out they forgot to pay form the supplies. The goods have now been paid for.
NYC is now hoping the supplies will arrive son as they are running out of masks, hand sanitizer and respirators. There is an old saying, “You snooze—You Lose.” Evidently De Blasio was asleep at the wheel and is now trying to put the blame on President Trump. De Blasio’s actions and extreme negligence could end up costing the lives of virus victims, but I hope not.
De Blasio laid into President Donald Trump Monday morning on CNN, excoriating the Federal government for failing to declare a national emergency and assume of medical device production.
“If we don’t get ventilators this week, we’re going to start losing lives we could have saved,” de Blasio warned on CNN’s “New Day.” “If we don’t get a supply of ventilators quickly, literally after a week, we won’t have enough ventilators to keep people alive.”
De Blasio also appeared on a radio program, where he complained about the Trump Administration, telling hosts he was still waiting for an answer on when ventilators and masks would be made available for New York City hospitals and blaming President Donald Trump for causing a life-threatening supply delay.
But the New York Post reported Monday that Bill de Blasio, who was reticent to believe that the coronavirus would prove a difficult problem for New Yorkers, that failed to place a supply order on time, leaving New York City’s healthcare workers dangerously short.
