A dozen prominent Republicans are attacking New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s decision to seize medical equipment from upstate facilities and send it to downstate hospitals
“[W]e have an increase in cases, hospitalizations and deaths in other parts of New York,” the Republicans said in a statement distributed by Rep.’s office. “Taking our ventilators by force leaves our people without protection and our hospitals unable to save lives today or respond to a coming surge. We stand together opposing the Governor’s very dangerous and reckless action. He is leaving our communities in a terrible position which will cost lives.
As the virus spreads elsewhere, it’s a safe assumption that there will more regularly be backlash against decisions like the one Cuomo made on Friday, regardless of how many net lives the triaging of equipment ultimately saves. Some of the people who have grumbled in the past will certainly get louder.
