anyone look at some of the stats and numbers on the news and think things don't really add up

so like 217 reported deaths in the entire country of the US total.. yet we supposedly need 1.5 million ventilators and life support machines.

car companies are going to stop making cars and start making breathing machines instead. really.. why the hell does the US suddenly need so many ventilators (ie, life support machines) with only 217 total deaths reported.
numbers don't really add up
