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.
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.
