Why didn't Obama replenish the N95 mask national supply that was depleted after the H1N1 outbreak of 2009 ?

[koshergrl]

It doesn't matter which president we pick. We can with the benefit of hindsight find thousands of things to "Why didn't they do" them about.

Tell that to the left and their media, as they spend every single fucking minute of the day trashing Trump for all of this crisis !

I don’t need to. I had put up with 8 years of you and your rightest media trashing Obama every fucking minute.

Remember when you guys said there was no such thing as "media bias"?

I do. You said it back then, when Obama was president, and your media was fawning over him, and lying to defend him.

You confuse media bias with just reporting on the President.

Trump says & does stupid shit. When that is reported, it is news not bias.

You confuse Trump with yourself. YOU say and do stupid shit.

Fake journalists and leftist media spend all their time and energy taking statements out of context, and pretending they mean something other than what they do. Which is why nobody believes anything they say anymore.

Meanwhile, Trump is doing great. Because people with brains figured out what the leftists were up to long ago. It's only the leftists who think anybody believes them.

Taken out of context.

• Trump said, “General Motors, Ford, so many companies — I had three calls yesterday directly, without having to institute like: ‘You will do this’ — these companies are making them right now.”
• Neither Ford nor General Motors is making ventilators right now, and while Tesla’s Elon Musk has said his company is “working on it,” there’s no evidence to suggest that production is underway, and it could take months to get there, according to the AP report.

Please explain to me how you take that out of context.

I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're referencing or even what you're saying. Maybe provide links and video. Because my default is to assume that you're lying. And I have yet to be wrong.....

"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."

Yes!!! Obama certainly was "Transforming America" in his image of racism, Socialism, and chaos....

The Obama administration was not solely responsible for the current shortage of masks. In the intervening years, the stockpile went unreplenished as the Trump administration failed to heed indications that dramatic shortages could occur.

A series of cost-cutting decisions made by the Trump administration in preceding years gutted the nation’s infectious disease defense infrastructure eliminating most of the pandemic response team. A WHO report in 2017 cited the US for lack of preparation for a pandemic which was ignored as well as a report by Homeland Security in 2019 which cited the lack of resources to address a major epidermic in the US. The Trump administration is criticized for not being proactive but the fact is it lacked both resources and planning needed to just be reactive.

Was Obama Responsible for N95 Masks Shortage?

As the COVID-19 pandemic ratcheted up in the United States, so did partisan finger-pointing.

www.snopes.com

 

[edthecynic]

the truth finally comes out about the lack of PPEs, it wasn't Obama not replenishing the stockpile, Tramp says he did it "many, many times," no Tramp gave our PPEs to ....
Wait for it .... CHINA!!!!!!!
Pompeo tweeted about the USA sending personal protective equipment to China on Feb 7. The State Dept also has a memo posted on its .gov website proclaiming it sent out 18 tons of PPE to China.

The supply was reduced during the 2009 H1N1 outbreak, Obama failed to get the supply back up.
Trump also failed, but Obama had 8 years PLUS he had the example of what can happen during an outbreak !

Tramp said he didn't fail and replenished the stockpile "many, many times. Are you now calling him a LIAR?????
Peter: (30:23)
Mr. President, on the stockpile of supplies for a pandemic, yesterday from the podium you blamed your predecessor, saying that when you arrived as president, you said, “We took over an empty shelf.” You’ve been president now for more than three years. Why didn’t you and your administration fill that shelf?

Donald Trump: (30:38)
Yeah, I did. We did fill it twice. We filled it twice and we’ve been distributing that for literally a year. We’ve been filling it [crosstalk 00:30:46]. That’s a nice question, Peter. Thank you very much. We’ve been filling it out and we’ve been filling that stockpile many, many times. It’s been filled many, many times.

 

[edthecynic]

No, the reporters lie. They've been busted lying much more often than Trump.

That's a LIE!
Reporters engage in HYPERBOLA which the Right insist is not lying!!!!!

That's informative. Trump doesn't have much use for WHO, apparently; he didn't want their test kits either. America First, no foreigners telling us what to do!

An attitude can have such an effect on so many things.

It doesn't matter which president we pick. We can with the benefit of hindsight find thousands of things to "Why didn't they do" them about.

You're right, but the fact is the buck does stops with this president. He certainly knew or at least his administration was well aware of the fact, that there was no plan to deal with a nationwide epidermic. Resources were totally inadequate. For 6 weeks after China made the world aware of the epidemic, little was done in the US except blocking travel from China and assuring the American people that Cornavirus was no big deal. In late February, the president's goal was to downplayed the seriousness of the deadly outbreak, now in the US saying the risk to Americans is still “very low” and that people can relax because Mike Pence has been put in charge of the administration’s response to the virus. Pence's real mission was to convince the states that the federal government had all the resources needed to fight the virus which of course they didn't. Pence carried the president's message to Florida that cruise travel was safe. Only days later the CDC told all Americans to avoid cruise travel and a week later the president declared a national emergency. The US response to the virus in the critical months of January and February is best described as a cluster fuck in which no one seems to have any idea how to proceed.

Hopefully someday we will elect a president that will see the future as well as you see things in hindsight. It's not going to be 2020, because neither Trump nor Biden have that ability.

A president greatest responsibility is to protect the nation from natural or man made disasters. It doesn't take a psychic to realize that a major epidemic will hit the country. It has never been a question of if but rather when. Trump was warned multiple times and he choose to ignore it. Now both Trump and the nation will pay the price.

The answer to the question is that Ford and GE have pledged to manufacture Ventilators within 100 days:

Ford, GE plan to produce 50,000 ventilators in 100 days

Ford Motor and GE Healthcare plan to produce 50,000 ventilators within the next 100 days at a facility in Michigan amid the coronavirus pandemic.

GM balked and claimed an exorbitant cost to manufacture the proposed ventilators. No!! the President didn't lie as 'Superbadbrutha', claims. Then again, 'Superbadbrutha' exaggerates whatever Trump states... He's the 'Jim Costa' of the USMB's.

According to the Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrat Commies they elected him in 2008. He was their messiah. Didn't they sing songs about him in schools, was said to walk on water and know what was past and in the future? What they failed to explain was his lies, false claims to transform America, created more racism in America than ever before and nearly collapsed our military strength....
