FEMA said only 3,200 of the 100,000 new coronavirus ventilators it is sourcing will be ready in time
Only 3,200 of a predicted 100,000 new ventilators meant to treat COVID-19 patients will be ready by the time the US outbreak peaks, according to a summary of two FEMA briefings published this week.
The forecast was published this week by the House Oversight Committee, which made public a summary of earlier briefings from officials at FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The documents said that the 100,000 ventilators are coming, but that "most" of them will not arrive until late June at the earliest. They summarised a briefing made on Sunday March 30, but not made public until April 2.
In the time period where the virus is expected to be hitting the US hardest — the week commencing April 13 — there will only be 3,200 available, according to the House documents.
