Just heard on TV, at Cuomo's press conference. The governor of Oregon has contacted the governor of New York with the news. Since their curve is different from New York's, they can send vents. New York will return them where their peak has passed.
This is what leaders do.

Our Democratic leaders ask "How can I help"?
Our pResident asks "How can I profit"?
As an Oregonian, I thank Governor Kate Brown for answering the call. If Oregon's surge requires ventilators in coming weeks, I trust that other governors will rally support as their needs wane.
We can emerge stronger as a country from this....but we must choose that course.

After 9/11/01 Portlands Mayor Vera Katz, a NYC native, took a plane load of Portlanders to her home town to go shopping, in support of New Yorkers and their businesses. I credit that gesture of confidence and goodwill with New Yorks discovery and promotion of Portland as a food destination.
