| De Blasio: I told the Pentagon "a week ago" to give me "1,000 nurses, 150 doctors, 300 respiratory therapists" and "I'm still waiting" |

| [Twitter] HT: AoS Listening to the audio, he may have said [he'd] "...have asked the President and The Pentagon over a week ago...", but y'all be the judge. In any case, I've yet to see Mr. Wilhelm demonstrate an appreciation for how a "federation of states" works. Maybe that's "Prog" thing. |

| #24 You know buttercup, /YOU/ don't tell the Pentagon anything. You tell either the governor or your disaster preparedness officer liaison. |

| #23 Seems the 'models' are starting to fall down. From the link: In New York, the IMHE model predicted that as of yesterday, 50,962 people would have been hospitalized as of yesterday due to the Coronavirus. The actual number? 18,368. |

| #19 Was he wearing his General’s uniform covered in self awarded medals when he called the Pentagon? |

| #18 So Hizzoner was trying to control the panic, and he probably got hammered for trying to be calm and rational, so he set his hair on fire. |

| #17 DeBlasio on March 10: "Sure. We - look. We are - we have the biggest public health capacity of any city in America, and we have been employing it now for weeks and weeks in anticipation of this. I am very, very concerned, like every other mayor in America, but I do want to put in perspectives - you know, as of now, 36 cases against the backdrop of a city of 8.6 million people. So we do expect a substantial increase in number of cases, but we also know that this is a disease that - for the vast majority of people who get it, it will have a minor impact on them." Link. |

| #15 Should have thought of that before telling everyone to just go out and party a month and a half ago. Now shut the fuck up. |

| #13 Ref #8:I know where he can get some blow-up nurses, but they're probably used. Posted by gorb Shortness of breath? Your mileage may vary. |

| #11 Maybe De Blasio should work with Governor Cuomo to get these things. As Trump said, it is not up to the federal government to supply all these things. There is too much reliance on the Feds for everything. |

| #4 I think the president did, he send the hospital ship USNS Comfort to NYC. Last I heard, the ship only has 20 patents. |

| #3 He sounds like the Federal Government simply keeps nurses, doctors, and therarsit stored in a warehouse somewhere. Stacked like cordwood to be used only in case of an emergency. |
