Oregon sending ventilators to New York to help prevent coronavirus' spread across US, Cuomo says

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo revealed Saturday that Oregon is donating 140 ventilators to his state, hailing the move as a “kind gesture” that will help combat the spread of coronavirus across America.

The unsolicited, coast-to-coast show of support comes as Cuomo revealed that a plane from China packed with 1,000 of the machines is scheduled to land later Saturday in New York City, the U.S. epicenter of the pandemic. That donation came to fruition after New York held talks with China.

“This is a big deal and it’s going to make a significant difference for us,” Cuomo said, thanking the Chinese government and others who facilitated the move.

“It’s also smart from Oregon’s self-interest – they see the fire spreading, stop the fire where it is before it gets to my home,” he added.

It may come down to blue states helping each other since "shit for brains" won't.
