President Donald Trump gave no shred of evidence as he suggested medical equipment is ‘going out the backdoor’ at hospitals (Picture: AP) Donald Trump has suggested hospital staff are stealing medical masks amid the coronavirus crisis. The president said requests for masks at an unnamed hospital in New York were typically between 10,000 to 20,000, but that now they have jumped to 300,000. He acknowledged that circumstances during a pandemic are ‘different’ but he told reporters to investigate medical equipment ‘going out the backdoor’ at hospitals. The president gave no shred of evidence as he also suggested this alleged criminal activity is happening in ‘numerous places’. {“@context”:“https:\/\/schema.org”,“@type”:“VideoObject”,“name”:“Metro.co.uk”,“duration”:“T1M27S”,“thumbnailUrl”:“https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2020\/03\/30\/08\/26573688-0-image-a-3_1585553356962.jpg”,“uploadDate”:“2020-03-30T08:28:24+0100”,“description”:“‘Are they going out the back door?’ Trump suggests hospitals in New York City and 'numerous other places’ are hoarding medical masks and ventilators”,“contentUrl”:“https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2020\/03\/30\/800589201049669016\/640x360_MP4_800589201049669016.mp4”,“height”:360,“width”:640} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Trump said: ‘Something’s going on, and you ought to look into it, as reporters. ‘Where are the masks going, are they going out the backdoor? ‘How do you go from 10,000 to 300,000 [masks]?

Kenneth Raske, the president of Greater New York Hospital Association, said personal protective equipment (PPE) is the single thing that separates medics from becoming patients themselves.

Trump just attacked the nurses putting their lives on the line — accusing them of a conspiracy to steal masks. Truly vile. Meet Kious Kelly, assistant nurse manager in NYC. He risked his life to provide care w/o proper protective gear (Trump’s fault).
