Earlier on Saturday, Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz took to Twitter to tell people that one particular rumor is false.
Poloncarz said Friday afternoon that he had spoken to the governor's staff, as well as the top three hospital systems in Western New York.
According to Poloncarz, nearly every available ventilator in area hospitals are currently in use and therefore do not believe any ventilators will be taken from Western New York patients to head downstate.
"Our ventilators are not going anywhere. It's as simple as that," the county executive said.
