LANSING– As Donald Trump’s failed coronavirus response leaves 1.5 million N95 masks in storage and just a day after he downplayed the need for ventilators, Michigan nurses are sounding the alarm about the lack of hospital supplies.
WATCH: Michigan Nurses: “We are completely out of resources
In the videos, nurses warn, “we are completely out of resources. There are no masks, there are no gowns, we’re running low on gloves” and that, “my patient took the last ventilator available in the hospital at 7 a.m.” The grim videos come after Trump downplayed the need for ventilators as his erratic COVID-19 response leaves health care workers throughout the country without critical personal protective equipment.
“Donald Trump’s erratic COVID-19 response has left health care workers without masks, gloves, or gowns and patients without the ventilators they need to survive,” said Michigan Democratic Party spokesman Christian Slater. “This president has failed Michigan and brave nurses and doctors on the frontlines of the pandemic are suffering the consequences.”
