How is it we lack protective gear for health care workers?

Let me state this is NOT the fault of the POTUS. What is hard to comprehend is the richest, greatest country that currently contains the greatest workforce in the world has even one hospital that is lacking enough protective gear for it's healthcare workers. Unacceptable.

Actually, it kinda is. And we'll be fair here. After the H1N1 virus outbreak during the Obama administration, supplies were not restocked. But last I looked, Donald Trump has been President since January, 2017. What stopped him from authorizing it?
Was Obama Responsible for N95 Masks Shortage?
You mean everyone yelling about the deficit might not have had anything to do with it? You mean having Mueller trying to give him a colonoscopy wasn't a concern? You mean the democrats in the house and senate grabbing the mic and condemning him for even daring to look cross eyed gave him nothing else to think about? You think CNN with its 24/7 hate was not a concern? You think that 44 should not have bothered because he wasn't elected to a third term?
I could go on but no matter what you will still blame Trump rather then 44.

Damn. That's the best deflection I've seen on the board today. And I gave you that Obama shares some blame. Look, Trump has no interest in being President. It's just a popularity contest for him. So even if he didn't make all of his own problems with Russia and Ukraine (because he's a fundamentally corrupt liar), he still wouldn't have had any interest in actually doing the job he was elected for. He did what he's capable of. Campaigning, tweeting, bullying.
Lol. I will give you that he would have been better off had he not run. He was befriended by almost everyone of the democrats that now hate him.
He has done one simple thing that no politican has ever done... He has attempted to keep his campaign promises.
Face it this country would have been much better shape if we had not had so many vote skin color.

It might have to do with the fact they need to dispose of all of it after seeing one patient.

if you wear it from patient to patient then you transfer all germs from one patient to the next
That's not what he meant. If they stockpile 100,000 masks, and then they only teat one patient for the Wuhan flu, then the rest of the masks are superfluous.

Except they use them for other patients as well. And if you treat one for COVID-19 and have 10 others that had to be ruled out, they all use up PPE gear.

You people are still clueless to how a hospital operates.
There are no other patients. Assume we had only 3000 patients.
 
Actually, it kinda is. And we'll be fair here.

No, it kinda isn't and no, you aren't. Lack of protective gear in hospitals is not a new issue. It's gone on for years and it is not the responsibility of the president to make sure that hospitals have it. It's a state and local responsibility.

Around JAN 15th, our news reported that as soon as the Chinese people were told about the new virus, there was absolute mayhem and run at their stores for protective gear and sanitizer....

Search Bloomberg news, they had an article on masks etc selling out in China, (it's hard for me to do on this device) in mid January.

OBVIOUSLY our Pandemic team and National security teams HAD TO KNOW this was happening, if just a reporter knew....

At that very moment, our guys in charge of a pandemic response HAD TO KNOW the same run on masks and sanitizer response by our citizens, would be the same, ( and was the same).....

FAILED IN SECURING SUPPLIES EARLY, for the just in case scenario....

This team is suppose to have foresight.

And let me say our private hospitals should have known this as well and should have scrambled early to increase their own supplies as well!!!

You idiots that think the president is responsible for everything in the country are the biggest retards of all time. You see that individual states are supposed to take care of themselves, idiot.
Did you not blame Obama for EVERYTHING? The Buck Stops Here?

There are always other patients at hospitals, they did not close down to only COVID patients.

Why are you so clueless?

State, local, and federal pandemic response is what is expected, and practiced at all those levels, together in their pandemic simulation exercises....

FYI
The whole lot, practice this together.

No I did not. Only for what he actually did like making me pay a tax because I could not afford insurance, making it twice as unaffordable for me. And for stirring up racial hatred.
 
Having a for-profit system our institutions only have enough stuff on hand for normal everyday operations. There is no incentive to stockpile anything that might not be needed this quarter. Now that the shit has hit the fan guess who these capitalists are looking to for assistance? That's right, the government. To get through this we will have to put corporate profits on the back burner and turn to socialized medicine.
Oh, so you are telling us socialist countries stockpiled and had enough?

 
As a merchandiser/ product marketing person in my previous life of working, we sourced out of China our best selling reordered widget....

It took a minimum of Two months, likely three to four months, to acquire materials, produce, and ship the item to land in US Ports, then another 10 days to work through customs, then another five days to make it to our warehouse and then anther 10 days to work it through our distribution center, and out to the stores that placed recorders with us months and months earlier..... with them missing their demand needs, missing sales.

This was money lost for my corporation and the stores we sold to.

So, on the best selling reordered items, we always had a USA manufacturer that also made the best selling item.... it did cost more for the USA made product, but the bulk was manufactured cheaply in China, and we were able to absorb the lower mark up, for the USA product.

By having a couple of USA small factories make our number one seller, we were able to serve our customers reorder needs on a more timely basis.... And it gave us, more sales.

I think you are right on the importance of sourcing medical supplies here, so we are not caught with our pants down..in emergency.

But it can be handled similar to what I mentioned above.... sourcing from China cheaply, and the USA for emergency/quick needs.

Why can't we be more like Cuba or Venezuela or Canada? The city of Philadelphia has more MRI machines than all of Canada.

Do you know how many times sick people in foreign lands hop on a plane to Cuba to avoid the profit oriented USA health care? NOT ONCE!!

A better question is why are we so woefully unprepared when our healthcare system is allegedly the "best in the world"? When the final tallies are made of what this cost us in money and lives there will be nothing there to brag about. Our health care system only exists as a private industry because the government has had to repeatedly intervene in an industry that refuses to cover the unprofitable.
 
we knew this was coming back in january - plenty of time to prep... but donny ignored it, instead having secret SCIF room meetings at HHS, where the actual experts were kept out but the insider traders were attending.

the virus itself isn't donny's fault - but everything else that has to do with it is all on him.

Then why did Dem health officials in NYC tell people to keep riding the subways and go to work in Feb.

If you knew it, then why didn't you post anything about it? Oh yeah, you were busy impeaching Trump.

The only people that knew were the government. That is why we had a Senator telling his donors to expect school closing and not to travel and why we had multiple Senators selling off stock and one even buying stock in a company that makes work from home software.

Yeah, dumbass! That was why he was the one who reported himself to the Senate Ethics Committee. Do you pull over and have a cop arrest you when you were drunk driving the night before?

Actually genius, it's something like thousands every year.

My pastor was born and raised in Cuba. His father is still the Bishop. Whenever his family needs health care they run as far and as fast as they can from Cuba. You are more than welcome to join your communist brethren.

He did not report himself, after the story came out he asked for them to investigate. And if you trust the Senate Ethics Committee to do the right thing, I have some very nice ocean front property in Nebraska for sale...very cheap

By the way, none of this changes the fact he was telling his donors a different story than the government was telling the American public
