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

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

Because Democrats never thought another outbreak would occur again and aren't concerned with outbreaks that occur in non-democrat years figuring they can just blame it on the GOP administration to their gullible not too bright base?

Congress was in charge. Whny the fuck dikdn't they fund & buy them.

Your fat assed orange piece of shit has been President for 3 fucking years, why didn't he buy them instead of trying to cut CDC funding?

Quit blaming Obama for Trump's ignorance & stupidity.

 

[RealDave]

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.

Thank you Captain Hindsight.

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....

You are a lying fuck. Obama did not cut military spending. We were bringing troops home from Iraq, etc. One school class made up a song about Obama - OMG OMG OMG OMG.

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.....

Hell you were wrong when you claimed the media is taking Trump's words out of context. It's kind of like folks do we the Bible, you read one thing and interpret it as something else.

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.

www.cnbc.com

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.

So they were not manufacturing them.

Lets depend on them to staret in 100 days? 3 months? That is the answer>?

Furthermore, your fat asssed orange buddy has been President for 3/4 of a complete 4 year term. At what point is anything is his fault? He was briefed. We had a Pandemic office in the NSC. What the fuck happened to it?

Thank you Captain Hindsight.

A president does not need a crystal ball to deal with a respiratory virus epidemic such as Ebola, SARS, H1H1, MERS, or Coronavirus. They are all airborne viruses which means, the country would need masks, respirators, shields, gowns, ventilators, and testing supplies to deal with an epidemic. In additions, there has to be a plan at the federal and state level which defines responsibilities and activities which would be put into action on the day the US is informed of an epidemic by the WHO.
Spending two months during the containment phase forming committees, allocating responsibilities, determining inventories, sources of supply, negotiating contracts, and establishing working arrangements with state health departments is not acceptable. Just as we can't plan for a nuclear attack when the missiles are in air, we can't plan a response to epidemic after there is already a breakout, at least not if we hope to contain it.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

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 !

If. Obama would hasve run out & repolaced everty one in 2014, they would all be out-of-date because of a 5 year shelf like.

"N95 masks really don't expire in terms of their functionality. The only part that is subject to damage over time are the elastic bands that attach the mask to the user's face, which can be damaged by sunlight," Dr. John Balmes, professor of environmental health science at Berkeley Public Health, told Business Insider in an email."

The US government sent out a shipment of expired face masks to health workers. Here's how face masks can expire, and when they're still usable.

Federal shipments of emergency N95 face masks have been found to be expired, but may still offer better protection than nothing, according to experts.

It really doesn't make sense for every hospital to store up enough supplies to make it through a national emergency. If they did, we would have far more than needed and your insurance premiums would go through the roof. Having the federal government stock up enough for national emergencies makes a lot of sense but only if that actually occurs.

The federal aid in an emergency should be allocated to the states. Then states decide how the aid (supplies) will be distributed.

Congress doesn't buy anything for the country. The way it works is the administration request fund in the president's budget for the items and if congress approves it the administration buys it. Well that's what should happen. In reality, the president request money for it in his budget The House and Senate each make up their own budget which may or may not resemble the president's budget. They come to some kind of comprise or maybe not and then congress gives the president some money to run the government. Even if the administration get's an approve budget the administration spends the money anyway they want except for certain mandatory items.

The last approved budget contained about 6.5 billion dollars for CDC. It is in discretionary spending which means the president can do pretty much whatever he wants to do with it as long he keeps it within the general category. Using your example: If Mommy gives you a credit card and says go buy some groceries and you spend all it on ice cream, you have bought your Mother's groceries but you certainly didn't follow her grocery list. The only way congress can force the president to replenish the nations supply of items needed for an epidemic is to put it in the budget as a line item and make it non-discretionary.

I'll say it again. Obama had 8 years, PLUS the personal experience of being the president while the 2009 outbreak.

You fucks want to blame EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF THIS CRISIS ON ONE SINGLE MAN, Trump.
The truth is, many people past and present failed us ! On every level of government.

What's funny about you Trump Humpin fucks is you blame everyone else and it is NEVER Trumps fault, unless it is something good that is happening.

Trump had 3 years to get the stock back up, Obama had 8. You do the math.

But of course the left and their media will never do any significant reporting on this.
(hint to our board libs: Trump was not president in 2009, nor 2010, nor 2011, nor 2012, nor 2013, nor 2014, nor 2015, nor 2016)

"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."

Like any president, he was probably unaware that his CDC was so incompetent. The timeline for the CDC's screw-ups for PPE, testing, ventilators, etc... goes back to 2003.

Federal officials repeatedly warned that US hospitals lacked enough ventilators -CNN
