Twittler will give Colorado 1% of ventilators it needs

Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that his administration would provide just 100 ventilators to the state of Colorado, more than a week after Gov. Jared Polis requested 10,000 to help hospitals prepare for the coronavirus outbreak.

In his announcement, tRump shunned the state's Democratic governor...

On March 28, Polis sent a letter to Vice President Mike Pence asking for help "addressing the dire shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) and ventilators in Colorado, as we prepare for a calamitous increase of deadly COVID-19 cases over the next few weeks."

Polis requested 10,000 ventilators, 2 million N95 masks, 4.4 million surgical masks, and other medical supplies.

Rather than help the Democratic governor, the Trump administration prevented Colorado from purchasing 500 ventilators on its own.

On Friday, CNN reported that an order of 500 ventilators placed by Colorado was canceled because the Federal Emergency Management Agency purchased them instead. - American Independent

Blue states from Twittler & Pence. Your constituents can die for all we care. Money and assistance at the direction of the WH will only go to red states, with red governors and tRump loyalists.

The WH is at war and they control all the money and have all the power to who wins and who loses.

tRump and Pence. No mercy.
