One thing is, if you all peak at different times, then those ventilators can be moved around as required, that part of the concept of slowing the spread.

Good luck with that in the US. If you tried to take what you gave to one city to use in another city the one's holding it would conveniently lose it and/or argue with you as to why they should get to keep them.

The Netherlands is the latest country to reject China-made coronavirus testing kits and other protective gear, calling the items substandard and raising serious questions about the quality of the supplies Beijing is selling to the world.
The Netherlands joins Spain, Turkey, Georgia, and the Czech Republic in their concerns over masks and test kits. The claims come as the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases surge in the United States and Europe, highlighting the dependence many countries have on Chinese imports.
The Dutch health ministry said over the weekend that it was forced to recall 600,000 face masks that were shipped from China on March 21 after they were found to be faulty. Some of the masks failed to fit the mouth properly while others were found to have insufficient filters, the government said.
"Health care workers have been informed and told not to use the masks. Due to the shortages, we can find ourselves in a situation where only protective equipment is available that does not meet the highest standards," the health ministry said in a statement. "This is an issue in all countries."
On Monday, the Netherlands said the number of people hospitalized with the coronavirus hit nearly 4,000. Of those, 507 new patients were admitted to the hospital. The number of deaths rose by 93 to 864.
Testing in the Netherlands is mostly confined to people with serious symptoms, meaning it's likely the numbers of cases of coronavirus are higher.
On March 19, Bruno Bruins, the medical care minister leading the Dutch government's fight against the coronavirus, resigned after collapsing from exhaustion during a parliamentary debate on the pandemic a day earlier.
Bruins fell to the floor in parliament while taking questions. Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said it was unclear how long it would take for Bruins to recover, though Bruins vowed to come back as soon as possible.
"The nature of this crisis is such that it demands a minister who can be ready to go full throttle immediately," Rutte said during a televised press briefing.
DutchNews.nl reported Monday the government will likely extend its social distancing directives past its current April 6 deadline.
Last week, Spanish Health Minister Salvador Illa said the country had bought $467 million in medical supplies from China, including 950 ventilators, 5.5 million testing kits, 11 million gloves, and more than half a billion protective face masks.
Soon after receiving the supplies, the government announced plans to return 9,000 "quick result" test kits to China, because they were deemed substandard, specifically the sensibility of the test was around 30 percent when it should be higher than 80 percent.
"China creates the poison and sells the solution to it," foreign affairs expert Gordon Chang told Fox News.
Beijing admitted that the kits they sold to Spain were bought from Bioeasy, a Chinese company not licensed to make them.
China announced late last week that it was launching an investigation into Bioeasy.
CNN anchor Chris Cuomo has been diagnosed with the coronavirus.

Our VP of HR just told us we're back to the office May 4thGlad she's in control of this pandemic. Meanwhile, City of Toronto (where we're headquartered) just cancelled public events like parades through the end of June. I don't think having our 300+ people back into our head office in 4 weeks is going to happen.

Spain and Italy are still struggling to avoid the collapse of their health systems, with Spain saying hospitals in at least half of its 17 regions are at or near their ICU bed limits, and more than 13,000 medical workers have been infected.
On good news, China is completely cured of coronavirus
Bullshit.

The number of coronavirus related deaths topped 4,000 in the U.S. on Tuesday night, just one day after reaching the 3,000 mark.
The U.S. has now surpassed China by over 700 COVID-19 fatalities -- as the White House coronavirus task force said it projects 100,000 to 240,000 deaths from the virus and millions infected in the country.
Without any measures in place to mitigate the contagion's spread, those projections jump to between 1.5 million and 2.2 million deaths from COVID-19.
“This is going to be a rough two week period,” President Trump said in a press conference on Tuesday. “As a nation we’re going to have a really rough two weeks. Our strength will be tested and our endurance will be tried.”
China -- where the outbreak started -- has reported 3,310 virus-related deaths, while over 4,070 have been killed in the U.S.
Deaths surged by roughly 700 on Tuesday as infections are nearing 190,000 in the U.S. Wyoming is the only state in the country without a fatality from the virus after Hawaii announced a senior citizen with multiple medical issues had died from the pandemic, according to Hawaii News Now.
New York -- the epicenter for the virus outbreak in the U.S. -- has over 76,000 infections and more than 1,700 fatalities as of early Wednesday. Over 43,000 of the state's infections and more than half of its deaths have occurred in New York City.
In the U.S., 11 states have over 4,000 coronavirus infections -- as Michigan, Illinois, Louisiana and Massachusetts have started to become emerging hotspots for the virus. Michigan now has 7,615 cases after 1,117 infections and 75 deaths were recorded in a single day. Over 259 people in the state have died from the virus.
Illinois -- which has seen nearly 6,000 infections -- sent out an emergency alert to residents in the state on Tuesday requesting the need for additional licensed healthcare workers.
"In the COVID-19 event, Illinois is looking for medically trained individuals to join the fight," according to the website where health professionals are directed to sign up. "Individuals that register here may be potentially contacted to work in a hospital surge or alternative housing setting."
Following Mardi Gras celebrations, cases in Louisiana increased by 1,212 on Tuesday, bringing the state's total to 5,237. It was a 30 percent increase from Monday.
"Because of the sheer volume of cases, we will be sharing the updated number of clusters every day at noon," the Louisiana Department of Health said. "The Department continues to work with facilities to minimize the spread of the illness and protect residents and staff."
In Massachusetts, Gov. Charlie Baker announced that non-essential businesses must stay closed, with residents advised to stay home until at least May 4. On Tuesday, 33 new fatalities were reported, making it the deadliest day of the outbreak so far in the state. The number of cases increased by 868 to 6,620.
Worldwide, Italy and Spain remain hotspots for the virus in Europe. Italy has over 105,000 infections and 12,400 deaths -- although the country saw the lowest daily case increase in two weeks on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Spain suffered its deadliest day during the coronavirus pandemic on Tuesday, as 849 were confirmed to have been killed by the virus. As of Wednesday morning, the country has over 95,000 infections and 8,464 coronavirus related deaths.
COVID-19 fatalities in France surpassed China on Tuesday. The European country now has over 52,000 infections and 3,532 deaths from the virus, according to data from Johns Hopkins.
If we've topped 4,000 deaths here now in the US, how many REAL fatalities do you think there were in China? 10,000? 20,000? More?

Ha. West Virginia is the lowest. Not a big surprise really
Saw some reports that ONE mortuary in Wuhan was shipped 5000 urns over two days. There are 7 mortuaries in Wuhan total. They are guessing that once you subtract the average number of deaths, the Virus deaths may be near 28,000.
