In this day and age, we have seen how you can become the leader of a modern country just by blowing enough hot air and having enough idiots believe in you.
It was only a matter of time before the blowhards would try their skills in other disciplines than politics, given their obvious success there...
I think the real issue here, is that the world has just received a surprise
military virus attack, by an unknown enemy (we know it is a virus, of a defined type, but the exact/specific details of this variant, were originally unknown to us).
It is (predicted), to potentially overwhelm our
military hospital defences.
So, we are desperately trying to get as many
soldiers Doctors/Nurses and other medical people, and the equipment they need, such as hospitals (emergency ones being constructed), ventilators, face masks and all the other stuff they need.
But there are practical limits, to how well we can cope with this sudden and ongoing, surprise attack(s).
The reality of the situation, is that ventilators, is just one of the many things that we (Hospitals), need under these circumstances.
tl;dr
I feel sorry for the OP. Because they are trying to do the right thing, and be nice. But, the reality is that it is difficult, to effectively interface with the proper authorities, and launch a coordinated response.
