De Blasio: ‘Where the Hell Is the Federal Government in the Biggest Crisis We Have Seen in Generations?’
EXCERPT:
DE BLASIO: “And I got people right now, Poppy, in my city, a lot of them are older people, a lot are people who are suffering from other diseases. If help doesn’t come, we’re going to lose people who should not die. People will die who should not die. Because in two or three weeks, my hospitals, some of the finest in the nation, will run out of ventilators, surgical masks, other protective gear, all the things that we need to run a hospital and provide care a. And it will endanger our healthcare workers. And they’re showing up, Poppy. They keep coming to work. And retirees, we asked retirees to come forward from the healthcare field, and over 2,000 already, in 48 hours, have said, 'We'll volunteer, we’re coming back to do this work to protect people.' But where the Hell is the federal government in the middle of the biggest crisis we have seen in generations?"
