California has enough ventilators for now, peak expected in May, Newsom says

  They mention lending excess to other states, on condition they get them back if needed... I wonder how that would be enforced?

    Gov Cuomo gave his personal word that he would either return them or buy new ventilators for return. I'm sure he is good for his word, but it will be a sticky situation if NY still needs them when CA needs them back.

  The model was updated this morning based on the latest data as well as additional improvements to increase accuracy. The peak surge date for CA changes from April 26th to April 14th and at peak CA will only use 4,869 of 26,654 available hospital beds and 798 of 1,993 ICU beds.
