Why am I not surprised.

The only surprise is that this is the LA Times.

Hers a name. Nicole Lurie.

She was Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response under Obama.

” the Obama administration was advised to replenish a national stockpile but did not, according to reports from Bloomberg News and the Los Angeles Times.”

So Obama didn’t, and we haven’t done so in the last three years either? If all this is true, where was CDC on this, or Dr Fauci?

Who is the person who had the responsibility of overseeing this stockpile?

“She was Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response under Obama.”

Who has held her job for the last three years, since Obama left? Is that person at all responsible for not fixing any mess that Obama left us with? I don’t know, but I’m asking.

We want the names of those in charge who didn’t do their jobs but did ask for and received more money every year, and they did manage to cash their paychecks.

In Trump’s fourth year, that is on both his and Barry’s admins.

Andrew Cuomo thinks N-95 masks should still cost 85 cents.

He forgets to mention those were the masks made in ChiCom slave wage sweat shops.

If the fedgov ordered masks to cost no more than a buck, we’d have no masks at all. The ChiCom sweatshops are not an option.

This is why Trump talks about nationalization = Venezuela.

You can order that a loaf of bread costs 25 cents, but then, you’ll have no bread.

I have to assume that our ‘best and brightest’ were waiting for a REASON to resupply our strategic stockpile.

Now we have one.

All I can say is that I’m DAMN GLAD that I didn’t take that approach to prepping for my family.

The plan was to not need masks because they would pass out free Oxycodone like candy.

Reduce the burden on the Obamacare system don't cha know.

“has held her job for the last three years, since Obama left? Is that person at all responsible for not fixing any mess that Obama left us with? I don’t know, but I’m asking.”

I think to some degree, yes.

There was a Bush person prior to Lurie.

I know that the Public Heakth Emergency community during the Obama years began using a vendor management system approach as opposed to physical stockpiling.

That won’t work well in a world wide large pandemic for things that are manufactured largely overseas (e.g. China).

I’m guessing they used this after the 2009 H1N1 epidemic depleted stores, but can’t know for sure.
