HHS IG report: hospitals face dire shortages of med equipment

[JuliefromOhio]

Hospitals across the country face dire shortages of vital medical equipment amid the coronavirus outbreak — including testing kits and thermometers — and fear they can't ensure the safety of health care workers needed to treat patients with COVID-19, according to an internal government watchdog report released Monday.

Trump claims the opposite. Who you gonna believe?

Government watchdog: Hospitals say staff at risk because of gear shortages

An internal government report found that one hospital was so short of thermometers it could screen staff and patients for coronavirus only at random.

It’s a daily pattern - we see interviews of nurses crying and begging for more PPE and testing so they can protect themselves, their patients and their families, and Trump then comes out during the Six O’Clock Follies and says the hospitals are “thrilled” with the equipment they’re getting.

Only a psychotic would believe Trump.

Annnnnd the report Conclusion: Sorry

This report provides information about hospitals’ experiences and perspectives in responding to COVID-19 at a point in time—March 23–27, 2020. The pandemic is fast-moving, as are the efforts to address it. Since our interviews, some hospital challenges may have worsened and others may have improved. Hospitals reported that their most significant challenges centered on testing and caring for patients with known or suspected COVID-19 and keeping staff safe. Hospitals also reported substantialchallenges maintaining or expanding their facilities’ capacity to treat patients with COVID-19.
We recognize that HHS, Congress, and other Federal, State, local, and Tribal entities are taking substantial action on a continual basis to support hospitals as they work on the frontlines to treat patients, ensure the safety of the health care workforce, and protect communities. We present this information for HHS’s and other decision-makers’ consideration as they continue to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, hospitals may find the practical information about other hospitals’ strategies useful as they confront the many challenges they face in fulfilling their mission.

Take your pick of any crying nurses we see on TV daily.

Like I said, only psychotics think they’re lying and believe Donald “17,000 Lies” Trump.

Sorry.

If you prefer, you can believe the countless nurses and doctors who hold back tears when describing their dreadful lack of required equipment.

Or you can choose to believe your cult leader, a pathological liar.

Who you gonna pick?

You should ignore her, it's the SOSDD with her, posting garbage in a poorly concealed attempt to discredit and undermine this President.

I wish along with a virus remedy someone could come up with a TDS vaccine.

But then she wouldn't have a life would she.

It’s striking that you people can look to our devastated country and yet give a complete pass to Trump for his six weeks of lying and buffoonery about the virus threat.

Absolutely striking. The equivalent of continuing to support Trump if he shot someone on 5th Avenue.

Trump has admitted that he was wrong to trash the HHS IG....because the report was correct.
