There Are Medical Companies In The U.S. And The World That Manufacture Ventilators & Respirators....

Trump has paraded executives from many companies in front of us including Fast Food companies.

Why hasn't he had the executives from the Medical Companies that manufacture ventilators and respirators?

From what I know about medical companies in general - they have sales people out - selling their machines every day, Each sales person most like has at least on of these machines in his/her possession to take to a health care facility to demonstrate it.

Also - the company has product in its warehouses to ship should someone purchase and they should have a maintenance department that repairs and reconditions these machines as well.

Why haven't we heard from these companies? They might not be the complete answer to all our problems - but in a pinch - they might provide some help.
