Guess who is to blame for the medical shortages?
Obama created an N95 mask shortage, but the free market is coming to the rescue
Buried several paragraphs deep in the aforementioned Bloomberg story we find out that “after 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.”
That's right, the shortage of N95 masks can be traced back to the H1N1 (swine flu) pandemic of 2009... when Barack Obama was president.
According to the Los Angeles Times, “[a]fter the swine flu epidemic in 2009, a safety-equipment industry association and a federally sponsored task force both recommended that depleted supplies of N95 respirator masks [...] be replenished by the stockpile.” The Obama administration, however, did not use any of his subsequent six years in office to act on this recommendation and, sadly, the Trump administration seems to have been unaware of it.
Fortunately, there is help on the horizon. 3M tweeted that it will be producing up to 35 million N95 respirator masks and already has 500,000 on the way to those areas hardest hit by the outbreak:
In the statement accompanying the tweets, Mike Roman gives more information about 3M’s plans, which include substantial capital investments to meet the new demands. Significantly, he gives special thanks to the federal government for cutting through the bureaucratic red tape, something that makes its high production level possible:

The Democrats are imploding in front of our eyes. First came Russia. Then the “impeachment.” And now holding up virus legislation in the Senate administers the coup de grace. They don’t realize how over it is for them with the people.

Well, do you think THIS could have had something to do with that?
TRUMP AXED CDC EXPERT JOB MONTHS BEFORE OUTBREAK

“Several months before the coronavirus pandemic began, the Trump administration eliminated a key American public health position in Beijing intended to help detect disease outbreaks in China,” Reuters reports.
“The American disease expert, a medical epidemiologist embedded in China’s disease control agency, left her post in July… The first cases of the new coronavirus may have emerged as early as November, and as cases exploded, the Trump administration in February chastised China for censoring information about the outbreak and keeping U.S. experts from entering the country to help.

GULP! The Trump administration has had three years to correctly assess the situation and failed to do so.
So, BLAME OBAMA!
hey pederast,
is 0linsky still taking credit for the economy?
China reported false information to the WHO, who in turn put it out to the world. That has nothing to do with on US position.
so the holdup is an infanticide provision:
A Democratic aide said that the small business provision was drafted to exclude non-profits who receive Medicaid from being eligible for Small Business Administration assistance offered under the bill. That, according to the aide, would impact Planned Parenthood but also community health centers, rape crisis centers and disability service providers.

My Post proves Deblasio is lying again. He blames Trump for his shortage of medical supplies. But the Post discovers that he never ordered additional supplies until March 6. What a scum bag.
Here are some people who are useless, especially now: Performance artists, diversity consultants, magic crystal healers, sociology TAs, members of the mainstream media, and gender-unspecified entities who brew kale kombucha.
Here are some people who matter, especially now: Soldiers, nurses, truckers, cops, the guy who stocks the shelves at Ralphs, farmers, and that dude rebuilding your roof.
The Chinese Bat Soup Flu has certainly clarified some of the blurred lines between what is important and what is frivolous garbage. Yet, in a time when millions of Americans are at risk of dying as a direct result of ChiCom conspiracies and the bizarre need of its serfs to eat any weird thing that crawls or slithers within reach of their chopsticks, our useless elite is fixated on making sure we don’t hurt the feelz of the very people who stuck us in this predicament.
Our elite is full of self-important morons who contribute nothing but more dumb in a time when the only thing we have a surplus of is dumb. The real hero is the guy who trucks in a load of whole wheat bread, ribeyes, and low-priced cabernet to the Trader Joe’s, not the Prius-piloting sissy with a Maddow fetish who shops there. The people our elite laughed at, scoffed at, poked at, are the very people who are going to rescue us from the mess that same elite helped make.
This is when the basics count. Can you build something? Can you do something? And, as our idiot urban overlords insist on releasing criminals because THE FLU!, can you defend something?
Our elite can’t, and you would think that at a time when their humility has been shown to be so massively justified that they might actually offer some. Instead, they have doubled down on their own narcissism. They are still pretending that their sophomore SJW obsessions aren’t a luxury and that 20-something BuzzFeed scribblers who have never run anything but their mouths have something to contribute to the discussion.
They don’t.

Sure idiot...
That decision created a time machine to allow for six years of inaction by the CDC under Obama leadership...
GULP! The Trump administration has had three years to correctly assess the situation and failed to do so.
And Obama had eight years to asses and resupply and he spectacularly failed.
Imagine everybody's surprise when Obama failed again. Shit for brains.
BWAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Lil Schitty keeps looking backward to compensate trumps inadequacies !!!!! Intel said problem was coming....trump played golf and politics.......Of course it is obama's fault for narrow minded idiots like yourself, Schitty!!!!!!
