Trump warns “every American to be prepared for the hard days that lie ahead,” and praises health care workers at a hard-hit Queens hospital, saying they are “like military people going into battle.” https://abcn.ws/3dHI601#covid19 #coronavirus #donaldtrump #pandemic #anthonyfauci #whitehouse #briefing #elmhursthospital

This raises questions about the government’s reliance on public-private partnerships, and the problem of leaving any kind of disaster preparedness up to the market and market forces that is not going to give priority to no-frills but dependable ventilators that’s not expensive.â€ÂÂ
In a budget document delivered on Feb 10, the agency told Congress, "This game-changing device, is now available at affordable prices to improve stockpiling and deployment†in an emergency,* Hailing the Trilogy Evo IT FUNDED as a breakthrough in its campaign for pandemic preparedness.
In negotiations on March 10th, Phillips agreed to a modification of the HHS contract  one that called for the company to produce the Trilogy Evo Universal “as soon as possible,†However, an HHS spokeswoman said Philips is only required to deliver the ventilators “as they are completed.†and also that Philips was only committed to meeting the original contract deadline of 10,000 ventilators by September 2022.
Medical experts and public health officials have believed for nearly two decades that they needed a less-expensive and simpler-to-operate portable ventilator that could be made and distributed quickly. The job of bringing such a device to life fell to BARDA, an innovative office of HHS that was established in 2006 to help the country prepare for pandemic influenza, new types of infectious diseases or an attack or accident involving chemical, biological or radiological weapons.
In 2008, BARDA began trying to find a company that could make a ventilator that would be inexpensive  ideally, less than $2,000 each  and could be simple enough to use that “inexperienced health care providers with limited or no respiratory support training†could operate the devices during a pandemic.
With only a couple of bids, BARDA settled on a small, privately held ventilator company in Costa Mesa, California, Newport Medical Instruments Inc. BARDA and Newport signed a $6.4 million contract in September 2010, specifying that the money would be doled out incrementally as the company met various milestones.
But in May 2012, Newport was purchased by a larger Irish medical device company, Covidien, for $108 million.
Covidien downsized and asked Rick Crawford, Newport’s former head of research and development and the lead designer of the BARDA ventilator, to finish up the project without any staff assigned to him. Crawford said he took a job with another company.
Covidien began raising issue after issue and demanded more money. BARDA agreed, eventually tacking on almost $2 million more to the price tag, records show. Even so, Covidien abandoned the project.
Medtronic who bought Covidien in 2015, said that the prototype ventilator created by Newport Medical “would not have been able to meet the specifications required by the government, nor at the price required" In a statement responding to a story in The New York Times, Medtronic said it left the federal government with all the designs and equipment created in the project.ÂÂÂ
Several former BARDA officials said such outcomes come with their territory.
Less than two years after signing its ventilator contract with BARDA, in March 2016, Philips Respironics agreed to pay $34.8 million to settle a Justice Department lawsuit under the False Claims Act and the Anti-Kickback Statute. Justice lawyers accused the manufacturer of effectively paying kickbacks to medical suppliers to buy its masks for sleep apnea. The company also agreed to abide by a five-year Corporate Integrity Agreement (2022) with HHS inspector general that imposed a series of oversight measures on the company’s operations.
With BARDA’s continuing support, Philips finally won FDA approval for the Trilogy Evo Universal ventilator in July 2019. Klink, the Philips spokesman, said the $13.8 million from HHS covered only a portion of the design and development costs for the ventilator and that the company invested more.
President Donald Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to compel General Motors to begin mass-producing another company’s ventilator under a federal contract. But neither Trump nor other senior officials made any mention of the Trilogy Evo Universal. Nor did HHS officials explain why they did not force Philips to accelerate delivery of these ventilators earlier this year. An HHS spokeswoman stated that Philips had agreed to make the Trilogy Evo Universal ventilator “as soon as possible.†However, a Philips spokesman said the company has no plan to even begin production anytime this year.
Can't wait for the movie.
Wasn't it just a couple days ago when he was downplaying this like it was nothing? The data was the same… so why lie
If prepared for it 2 weeks earlier there wouldnt have been 2 weeks of painful time…
Who knew Donald trump was able to play president for once.
CHANGE THE NAME TO TARRIF19
AWE FOCKKK THAT, THE BEACHES WERE SUPPOSED TO BE OPEN BY EASTER
His CON and COVER UP didn't work on the Virus?
Mr. President at least now stop boasting and face the reality. You should have taken this step well ahead without questioning on why you need 30,000 ventilators. Thank you at least now you are acting accordingly…
So .. not a democratic hoax …. who knew??
So rip that fake ass hair do off…

This President is very strong and has been trying so much to get things done, but his enemies wants to pulled him down, God will be with him in this time of crises..
Can we not listen to the grand liar and hear from the doctors who actually have our interest at heart?
Here is summary of mortality data for a few countries. US is screwed. The projection is 200k min. or as high as 40 million. Trump is an absolute joke I suppose to him a few million deaths is a "great victory". Why does he keep lying or are the American public that retarded? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4tBXfKy0vg
He saw New York from the videoes?
Maybe it has finally clicked for him…….maybe….

This Doesn’t help… was just recommended on YouTube… it’s about a virus that’s spread…hmmm
Yo, Trump didn’t look at the employment numbers right now
my bro is in the US working in kaiser im in the philippines pray for him
What about the convenience store worker or gas station worker or the one who stocked the shelves through the night at Kroger….talk about them too as front liners because that's what we are 🇺🇸
God bless America 🙠Thank you Mr.President!
Think I got the virus. Started with rib pain with deep breathes. Now my whole body aches, feel weak, body feels hot and I wanna sleep and its only 651 pm. Which is rare for me. Hopefully I feel better tomorrow. To think I workout for 4 years straight have a lot of muscle and did cardio frequently. 5'9.5 213lbs 22 years old.
Its amusing to see him mansplaining like he is the most knowledgeable person di in the world, while we all know a series of statement he made previously…What a wanker….
God bless America ðŸ™ÂÂðŸÂ½
Yea? Well look how this jackass treated this at first!! Crucial days that counted When it could have been made a lot better. He should resign. https://youtu.be/NezEbDx4B9A
Together we can save America and ourselves by simply following the Stay Home guidelines and following through with the information given to us by our state Govt. It's really up to us to stay safe and protect our lives.
I cried after this speech, God Help us All ðŸ™ÂÂðŸ™ÂÂðŸ™ÂÂ
Sorry for all the Americans, but so far it’s been like you guys don’t need a federal gov but a state one. No coordination whatsoever. Why bother listen to the rumbling mumbling federal chief?
You should had lock down whole U.S.A. long ago smh
Trump is a known LIAR
Trump is a known LIAR.
I'm not remembering Trump "urging people to go back to work". That's def spin on some premature optimism that we can all use a little of. The end game remained the same. If you can't put politics aside through this crisis and join to help stop death and suffering, shame on us all.
This is war and I stand with our president and all citizens of the USA.
Talking about flatten the curve and saving lives -we need masks as well as doctors and nurses.
Please make them available to the stores so we can buy!
Would have been much better except for crazy Blasio telling people to go about their business just a couple weeks ago. Poor NY
Who woke you up?
Best unemployment numbers. I think we are trying to not have the best on that subject right?
When vaccines are no longer an option, neither will the Constitution be anything more than toilet paper.
Thats what the Liberal Left has been after since the paradigm shift (they started), calling it a democracy, instead of a republic.
The Liberal Left will always work insideously and demonicaly, over decades with the mkultra beginnings of MAINSTREAM MEDIA.
It will take God's 21 Judgments to sort them out now.
Luke 21 : 36
