Dan had a question

Bugsy McGurk

President
Obama and the Dems prevented Trump from fully stocking the stockpile during Trump’s first three years, no? Those bastards!

Your call, but I think you need a better “blame Obama” gambit.

Really now Bugs, how low can you go? Is there a floor?

You didn't deny that Obama failed to replenish Personal Protective Equipment stocks after the 2009-2010 Swine flus pandemic. Then you skip over the next 5 years of his administration during which nothing was done about it to blame Trump for it even as Obama continued cutting funds for the CDC.

At least you didn't lie like Joe Biden did, claiming in a March 1 ABC "This Week" interview, "the Trump Administration cut the funding for the CDC".

Factcheck.org acknowledged the Trump administration did propose funding cuts to the CDC, but funding has actually increased during the Trump presidency as a result of actions taken by Congress.

The Obama administration similarly proposed funding cuts to the CDC, including disaster preparedness programs, even after the Swine Flu pandemic left 274,304 Americans hospitalized and 12,469 dead between April 2009 and April 2010.

In its fiscal year 2013 budget, while Biden was vice president, the Obama administration sought a total funding level of $5.9 billion from the CDC, or a $569 million cut from the 2012 budget of $6.46 billion. In fiscal year 2015, the Obama administration wanted a $414 million cut year-over-year [2016], and again in the fiscal year 2017 budget, the Obama administration looked to eliminate $251 million in CDC funding.

Malfeasance at a minimum if not something more serious given the number of dead for lack of N95 Respirators. If idiot Adam Schiff can open a House inquiry into Trump's handling of the response, some one in the Senate, maybe Lindsey Graham, should refer an Obama criminal negligence case to the DOJ.

Hey Dan, we did until Obama stopped it after the Swine flu event.
So what is the Washington Examiner talking about and why were these only now being deployed?

As of March 2020, the national strategic stockpile had 40 million masks

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Strategic National Stockpile is nearly out of the N95 respirators, surgical masks, face, shields, gowns and other medical supplies desperately needed to protect front-line medical workers treating coronavirus patients.

The Department of Health and Human Services told The Associated Press Wednesday that the federal stockpile was in the process of deploying all remaining personal protective equipment in its inventory.

The HHS statement confirms federal documents released Wednesday by the House Oversight and Reform Committee showing that about 90% of the personal protective equipment in the stockpile has been distributed to state and local governments.


April 3, 2020, Jared Kushner commented "The notion of the federal stockpile was it's supposed to be our stockpile. It's not supposed to be states' stockpiles that they then use.

On March 1, 2003, the NPS was renamed the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) program with joint management by Department of Homeland Security and Department of Health and Human Services.

In at least 10 government reports from 2003 to 2015, federal officials predicted the U.S. would experience a shortage of ventilators and other medical supplies if it faced a large-scale infectious disease outbreak

What's 90% of the 25% that was left when Obama left office? Not much but not really a problem because President Trump will clean up BO's death mess in his next 4 years if Pelosi and Schumer will only shut up and sit down.
