New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio accused President Trump of dragging his feet on sending resources to the state to help with the coronavirus pandemic.

New York state had more than 12,000 confirmed cases of the coronavirus as of Sunday morning, according to a Johns Hopkins University tracker. At least 76 people in the state have died from the COVID-19 virus.

“It’s only getting worse. And in fact, April and May are going to be a lot worse,” de Blasio told NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday.

“The president of the United States is from New York City, and he will not lift a finger to help his hometown. And I don’t get it,” he continued. “Right now, I’ve asked repeatedly for the military to be mobilized, for the Defense Production Act to be used to its fullest to get us things like ventilators.”

De Blasio said the military could use service members trained in the medical field to help treat patients or distribute medical supplies.

“If there are ventilators being produced anywhere in the country, we need to get them to New York — not weeks from now or months from now — in the next 10 days. And the only force in America that can do that is the military,” he said.

“If the president doesn't act, people will die who could have lived otherwise,” the mayor added.

Trump said Wednesday he was dispatching a Navy hospital ship to New York Harbor. The Navy said the ship, which has about 1,000 hospital beds, would not be used to treat coronavirus patients but instead to treat other patients as hospitals fill with those affected by the coronavirus.
