| Subject: Cuomo claims NYC hospitals have enough protective gear — nurses say he’s lying Sat Mar 28, 2020 8:09 pm | |
| Gov. Cuomo said on Thursday that New York’s hospitals have “enough” protective gear for the moment — and he was immediately branded a liar by frontline nurses in New York City. Cuomo was asked at a news conference in Albany about The Post’s front-page exposé that revealed a shortage of supplies at Mount Sinai West hospital in Midtown had led nurses to improvise protective gowns out of trash bags. “Yeah, we’ve called the individual hospitals,” the governor said. “There’s no doubt in the past few days, you know, there’s maybe — the distraction is a little start-and-stop — but we have enough PPE [personal protective equipment] and the New York City officials say they have enough PPE for the New York City hospitals.” But nurses at Mount Sinai West were furious over the governor’s remarks. “False reassurances at our expense!” one nurse told The Post. Another accused Cuomo of “lying” and said the trash bags were needed due to a lack of protective gowns.
