Obama is responsible for the lack of protective masks....Trump has to fix this mistake too...

[alang1216]

And here we have it.....the reason there is a shortage of protective masks stems from the obama era CDC where they failed to stock the masks after the mess up of the H1N1 flu....

It’s Barack Obama's Fault There’s a Shortage of N95 Respirator Masks

Back in 2005, the Bush administration published the “National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza.” The strategy called for plans to distribute medical supplies from the national stockpile and to assist state and local efforts to handle an outbreak, but last month, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar told Congress that the national stockpile of N95 respirator masks was 12 million—a mere fraction of the 1.7 billion masks government scientists estimated back in 2015 would be needed in the event of a severe flu outbreak.


How did we end up with such a low stockpile? It used to be much larger. What happened to it?

Buried several paragraphs deep in the aforementioned Bloomberg story we find out that “after the H1N1 influenza outbreak in 2009, which triggered a nationwide shortage of masks and caused a 2- to 3-year backlog orders for the N95 variety, the stockpile distributed about three-quarters of its inventory and didn’t build back the supply.”

That's right, the shortage of N95 masks can be traced back to the H1N1 (swine flu) pandemic of 2009... when Barack Obama was president.

A different story from the Los Angeles Times published last week goes into more detail about what happened after the swine flu pandemic depleted the supply. According to their story, “After the swine flu epidemic in 2009, a safety-equipment industry association and a federally sponsored task force both recommended that depleted supplies of N95 respirator masks [...] be replenished by the stockpile.” The problem is that didn’t happen. According to Charles Johnson, president of the International Safety Equipment Association, about 100 million N95 respirator masks were used up during the swine flu pandemic of 2009-2010, but, he said was unaware of any “major effort to restore the stockpile to cover that drawdown.”

In short, even though the Obama administration was advised to replenish the national stockpile of the N95 respirator masks, they didn’t. Despite the fact the media traced the cause of the shortage back to 2009, they accuse Trump of poor planning and trying to deflect responsibility.

Outrageous!!! So the Congress put money in the budget for respirators and Obama refused to purchase them??? I somehow doubt that. Did you expect Obama to pay for them out of his own money?

Ironically the same O'bama administration ran the incoming Rump team through a preparedness scenario, before they took office, on dealing with a pandemic virus originating in China. They did that more than three years ago.

Now this "PJ Media" wants to blame The Black Guy. Astonishingly excellent irony.

politico??

really??

Oh puhlease!

Hannity and Tucky know the truth. We don't need anything else.

8 scandal free years but persevere if you must.

IRS scandal, Bhengazi Scandal, illegal gun running to drug cartels, Spying on Trump, 150 billion in cash to Iran, spying on reporters......not scandal free, H1N1 virus failure........the democrat party members of the pres suppressing coverage of the scandal

If any of those were actual scandals trump would be investigating them. You think? Do you ever think or do you just go to great unbiased sources like PJmedia and Breitbart. Is Joe the plumber still working for PJ?

Most Trumpers really don't believe most of these manufactured scandals they claim Obama did-- its just more or less therapy for them to believe it.....

Who needs masks with the power of prayer? Maybe Obama just figured with all the evangelicals backing Trump there was nothing to worry about?

Trump literally fired the team in the government that would lead these types of situations, but people want to blame Obama still... all while Trump says in a nationally televised press conference he doesn't feel responsible AT ALL for how the virus has blown up. You know, the same guy that originally said it was a Democrat hoax just weeks ago.

Prayer will help, if we don't turn back to God. This is only the beginning.
