Trump Says the U.S. Is ‘Holding Back’ 10,000 Ventilators to Prepare for ...
Mr President @realDonaldTrump. I don't know if it is upsetting because your government is holding back 10000 ventilators for the surge and denying care right now, or because you think 10000 ventilators will cut it come the surge. Very sensitive issue, Sir.

President Donald J. Trump
Sio kwa ubaya, @realDonaldTrump. Your talk about "peak" is concerning. As #COVID19 reaches its peak, it will continue to take lives. If COVID19 is at the bottom of a mountain and continues to rise, as it reaches peak and goes downward, people are still getting infected and dying!
