I wonder how long 1000 ventilators will last before the auction style bidding will start again between the different states, over the same equipment. Maybe it will have no bearing.
I remember hearing or reading that some of the richer states (like California) were outbidding their poorer neighbours by $10k or $15k for ventilators, pushing the price from $25000 to $40000 in some cases!
And in countries like Italy, many hospitals were being duped by Chinese "merchants" online, selling them overpriced equipment that the poor Italians never received!
