Nation's stockpile proves no match for the coronavirus pandemic
CNN ^ | May 7, 2020 | Sara Murray and Scott Glover

Posted on 05/07/2020 3:24:50 AM PDT by C19fan

As complaints about dire shortages of protective gear for medical workers on the frontlines of the Covid-19 crisis began to stream in, President Donald Trump was quick to point the finger of blame at his predecessor, Barack Obama.

It was Obama and other administrations, he said, who left the shelves of the nation's Strategic National Stockpile bare of the items needed to combat the coronavirus. To an extent, the President was right. The Obama administration did use and then failed to replace items from the stockpile to fight the 2009 H1N1 "swine flu" pandemic.

The West has the best "educated" and worst elite in human history. It appears no Western country was prepared for this predictable event. One might add individual states. Out elites would rather spend the country's resources on Cowboy Poetry, "Blank" Studies Departments, etc. I cannot remember who said it but I seen a statement along the lines the more government does the more incompetent it becomes.

The first duty for supplies is to the state since it is the governor who is in control.

Cuomo made it very clear that her didn't even know how to get supplies.

Obama failed to replace. That’s one thing.

But in Canada the Trudeau government transferred 50 thousand N-95 masks to Red China. IDIOT!

Americas medicine cabinet was bare thannks to the Magic Negro, but Justin Trudeau? Canada’s medicine cabinet was not barem and he made sure it was. IDIOT!

Canada is subservient to Red China.Believe it.They twitch, Trudeau jumps.

China hoarded some countries’ inventory of masks and cleaner as the pandemic was ramping up.

China is Big A&&hole

The spread was unusual. Almost as if people were deliberately travelling to the West and spitting on contact points and touching surfaces in public areas.

Read and savor this little snippet of cnn's only agreement with Trump for years.

When I read this, I figured that someone is going to get fired at cnn for printing that, "...the President was right..."

>>As complaints about dire shortages of protective gear for medical workers on the frontlines of the Covid-19 crisis began to stream in,

In March Fauci (the ‘expert’) was saying that there was no reason for the public to wear masks. Perhaps if they had spread would’ve been curtailed.

We are hearing now about how bad it was for medical professionals and first line “defenders” (which is a vague term some even use for those in grocery stores keeping the food supply distribution chain going).

Are medical professionals and first line defenders a significant portion of the dead? Seems to me that the thousands of retirement home victims in NY are a significant factor.

CNN agrees it was Obama Administration’s fault the national stockpile was left bare after Swine Flu then goes on to make excuses for him. You can’t make this crap up.

There were pictures all over Twitter of Chinese in big box stores on the West Coast buying up pallet loads of masks, gloves, sanitizer which were then shipped to China. Same thing happened in Australia.

The CCP knew how bad this was going to be and stripped the rest of the world of PPE.

We need a stockpile of this stuff to last at least a couple of months AND domestic manufacturing so we can quickly ramp up and replace from a RELIABLE source.

Orientals have been cited by many social media posts as having been observed doing such things...but some of those postings may be more of anecdotes that have been repeated in this “mockingbird” of social media that exists.

No doubt there are many covid deaths...not sure of the covid diagnosis of a lot of them. Pennsylvannia just got caught applying a covid label to deaths that were not the case....they had to reclassify over 200 deaths as non-covid.

We’ve all heard of the extra financials being awarded for any diagnosis of covids.

What’s your explanation for an additional 15000 people dying in New York?

They are fudging the numbers. Its ALL POLITICAL NOW.

PS: The rest of the USA is not like NYC. Even upstate NY is not having the problem per capita that NYC is experiencing. Quit projecting. As for NYC, live like crowded rats then die like crowded rats.

“To an extent, the President was right”

For the enemedia to admit that much, it means President Trump was completely right.
