Trump Says Helping States to Get Equipment Against Pandemic

(Bloomberg) -- The Trump administration is helping states get equipment amid the coronavirus outbreak, but it “is not easy,” President Donald Trump said in a tweet on Tuesday.

The tweet comes as China’s ventilator makers rush to fill global orders. Last week, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said the state, which has about 5,000 to 6,000 ventilators, might need 30,000 of them.
