Dr. Fauci: ‘Right Now We Have 12,700 Ventilators in the Stockpile’

RUSH EXCERPT:

KEILAR:  “Are there going to be enough ventilators for what is coming?”
FAUCI:  “You know, it depends on what you mean by what’s coming. Right now we have 12,700 ventilators in the stockpile. We will use the stockpile as needed. We will be able to hopefully backfill the stockpile as best as we can. Remember, when you talk about will we have enough, it depends on what we just spoke about, the worst case scenario, the best case scenario, somewhere in the middle. If you’re talking about a situation like Italy, if you get a situation like Italy, which I hope and don’t think is going to happen, you have to be prepared for it, that an outbreak of pandemic like this could overwhelm any system in the world no matter how good it is. So the job is to try and make sure we don’t get to that worth case scenario.”
