Trade Data Suggest Lack Of Prep For COVID-19: Dem Report

Trade data suggest that U.S. exports of medical supplies surged when the administration should have been preparing for a domestic coronavirus outbreak, according to a new report by Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA).




“In February 2020, the value of U.S. mask exports to China was 1094.0% higher than the 2019 monthly average,” Porter’s report said. “In February 2020, the value of U.S ventilator exports to China was 292.2% higher than the 2019 monthly average.”

The report, which was released Monday, pointed to specific Trump administration policies — rather than just a general increase in foreign demand due to the spread of COVID-19 abroad — as being a potential reason for the spike in export value. The New York Times reported in early March that the Commerce Department was touting a temporary change in regulations that facilitated exports of medical supplies to China by American vendors.

“Whether export numbers reflect increased per-unit costs for Chinese buyers, or an increase in units sold, the bottom line is the same: a payday for a few companies, and huge costs for the rest of us,” Porter’s report said.

So she is saying we where not supposed to help forgein countries to keep the virus in check there and not let it spread across the globe?
The report provides evidence that because this admin did not take the warnings about the virus seriously it allowed medical supplies to be exported............leaving the US woefully short of those supplies.

That's called hording
 
The import data that we identified and reviewed also reveal that the Trump
Administration failed to prepare for COVID-19 and to protect the health of Americans.
From January to February, when the U.S. should have been stockpiling medical supplies,
the value of ventilator imports dropped by more than 10 percent. The data shows a
similar pattern with PPE and cleaning supplies, which fell by 11.3%, over $161 million,
from January to February 2020, and N95 masks in particular, which fell by 14.2%.

Up is down, preparing for an outbreak is hoarding, and black is white.

Yeah, imports fell because China stopped filling the orders, that just proves that shit should be made in the US. You commies are fucking idiots.

Did you know that ventilators are exploding some of the patients lungs? So they are not the cure all either. How much misinformation did the CDC gurus wanting to push more vaccines and Gates agendas did the president get? After all we do depend on experts when we don't have the full scope of things and the CDC is supposed to be the experts on all of this.

So why didn't the states governors buy up these supplies, since they are the 1st line of defense for their constituents?

As an individual people have some responsibility in it all too. While some were buying junk others were looking for ways to protect their own families immune systems.
