WASHINGTON (AP) After the first alarms sounded in early January that an outbreak of a novel coronavirus in China might ignite a global pandemic, the Trump administration squandered nearly two months that could have been used to bolster the federal stockpile of critically needed medical supplies and equipment.
A review of federal purchasing contracts by The Associated Press shows federal agencies largely waited until mid-March to begin placing bulk orders of N95 respirator masks, mechanical ventilators and other equipment needed by front-line health care workers.

The Democrat-Big Media-DeepState Complex knows they can’t criticize anything about the way Pres. Trump is handling the corona crisis, he’s just too good a leader ... so they have to go back into the past to make him look lost
Expect to see more of these slander stories as we get closer to the election, these people are desperate
⤵️
Dr. Anthony Fauci ➡️ Jan 21: This is not a major threat.
Dr. Anthony Fauci ➡️ Feb 17: The danger is just minuscule.
All of these people talking ‘preparing’...are like 7-year-old kids. Ask the same people about all the products in Wal-mart and the originating country...to watch their shock as they figure out from just the drug-department alone, probably over 95-percent of the items come from either China or India.
Just another BS hit piece by the anti-American stooges at AP. Really hate these people.
I actually don’t blame them.
We were programmed by all the end of world pandemics, which turned out not be world enders, to just deal with the problem and be a little more aware of hygiene.
I sure as hell wasn’t ready to hide but, here we are.
Nice job there, sitting on your couch, sucking orange julius, eating popcorn and pretending you are a morning morning 1/4 back.
I don’t think you are even a half wit.
In fact, I would call you stupid but, that would be redundant, since you already know...
We're just a number to him.
It was also in the State of the Union speech which she ripped up because everything in it was a lie.....according to Nancy.
OANN really needs to ask Fauci about those statements in a presser. I’d have a much better feeling about him if he just came right out and said he blew it.
Propaganda = AP
Monday morning quarterbacking is always 100% right. Except in this case when it’s weaponized as a political hit piece.
JUST LOOK AT THE WHOLE WORLD! WHO KNEW??!!
WE NEED TO HIT BACK HARD FOR TRUMP!
WE CAN'T LET THIS BLAME GAME STICK TO TRUMP!!
That is beyond bullshit. WHY did the individual 50 states, with their individual 50 budgets, not plan for a future contingency like this??
None of above matters. Impeach 2 is coming. Imagine if all Americans supported our POTUS. Dems are deplorable.
And in those same months that were “wasted” there was an unending push to impeach President Trump, which at best was a distraction from the business at hand, and at worst outright sedition with malevolent intent, in the interests of foreign influences.
Do the Democrats not understand the concept of “clean hands”? Theirs are dirtier than just about anybody else’s.
The little talked about issue in this is the governors control of medical capacities in their respective states.
Excellent comment. People must be constantly reminded that the revered Dr. Fauci declared this to be a hypothetical and minuscule threat in late February.
Obama’s CDC, D-run states and D-run cities wasted years not restocking after Obama’s H1N1 pandemic and not prepping for the next one.
Wasted Months = Democrats Impeachment of the President
Thats all the article needed to say.
