Coronavirus: Amid New York's unused hospital beds and ventilators, critics point to mass waste and mismanagement


New York nursing homes have accounted for 13 percent of the state's coronavirus death toll, according to the state's health department figures. In the case of the Javits Center, a stringent 25-point checklist meant even that few coronavirus patients could be sent there, as not every box could be marked. But ironically, the state's health care industry is fearing a financial collapse as a result of the pandemic. New York also spent $69 million on ventilators that never arrived, according to reports this week. "We built you thousands of hospital beds that you didn't need or use," Trump tweeted to Cuomo on April 17.
