Donald Trump: Says N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo “rejected buying recommended 16,000 ventilators in 2015 for the pandemic, for a pandemic, established death panels and lotteries instead. So, he had a chance to buy, in 2015, 16,000 ventilators at a very low price, and he turned it down.”

Our ruling
Trump said Cuomo "rejected buying recommended 16,000 ventilators in
2015 for the pandemic, for a pandemic, established death panels and
lotteries instead. So, he had a chance to buy, in 2015, 16,000
ventilators at a very low price and he turned it down."
A 2015 state report said that in the case of a "severe" pandemic, the
state would be short about 16,000 ventilators during peak week. But the
report did not recommend buying 16,000 ventilators, and did not
indicate whether the state was at a fiscal position to purchase them.
The state did not plan to increase its stockpile because it
anticipated that in the event of a severe crisis, there would be
shortage of trained staff to operate them and demand would outweigh any
emergency stockpile. The report said the state had to balance the likely
ventilator shortage with the need for adequate funding for current and
ongoing health care expenses.
The report issued guidelines on ventilator allocation if there
weren’t enough for everyone and suggested that hospitals designate a
triage officer or committee. It explored a lottery system, but did not
recommend it as the primary option. Cuomo did not establish one.
Trump’s statement is inaccurate. We rate it False.
Society – importance
Berachos 58a): . Ben
Zoma once saw a crowd on one of the steps of the Temple Mount. He said, Blessed
is He that discerneth secrets, and blessed is He who has created all these to
serve me. [For] he used to say: What labours Adam had to carry out before he
obtained bread to eat! He ploughed, he sowed, he reaped, he bound [the
sheaves], he threshed and winnowed and selected the ears, he ground [them], and
sifted [the flour], he kneaded and baked, and then at last he ate; whereas I
get up, and find all these things done for me. And how many labours Adam had to
carry out before he obtained a garment to wear! He had to shear, wash [the
wool], comb it, spin it and weave it, and then at last he obtained a garment to
wear; whereas I get up and find all these things done for me. All kinds of
craftsmen5 come early to the door of my house, and I rise in the morning and
find all these before me
