The Trump administration sent California 170 ventilators to help in coronavirus battle — but none of them worked

President Donald Trump talks with Gov.-elect Gavin Newsom, left, during a visit to a neighborhood impacted by the Camp wildfire in Paradise, Calif. on Nov. 17, 2018. California received 170 ventilators from the federal stockpile to help battle the coronavirus outbreak in the state.

California, which has the third-highest number of infections in the US, finally received ventilators from the national stockpile — but none of the medical devices worked, according to California Governor Gavin Newsom.In a press conference about his state's efforts to curb the novel virus, Newsom on Saturday said the Department of Health and Human Services had sent 170 ventilators to Los Angeles County straight from the federal stockpile.

Bloom Energy, an energy company that had been working to refurbish medical equipment in the wake of the outbreak, received the devices early Saturday morning. The company already repaired 80 ventilators and plan to refurbish an additional 120 today. According to Newsom, the broken ventilators from the Trump administration will be fixed and sent back to Los Angeles by Monday.

"I can't find any more equipment. It's not a question of money," said New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, where the number of infections have soared past 59,000. "We need the federal help and we need the federal help now."
