Public health workers, doctors and nurses protest a shortage of PPE outside a hospital in the Bronx on April 17, 2020, in New York, NY.Public health workers, doctors and nurses protest a shortage of PPE outside a hospital in the Bronx on April 17, 2020, in New York, NY.Since the organization started eight months ago, Dr. Gupta says it has received 17,000 PPE requests from across the country, which would translate to her organization handing out 22 million units of PPE every week.
Staff and volunteers with Project CURE held a drive outside the United Center in Chicago to collect donations of PPE from the community which were then used to supply hospitals and clinics experiencing shortages on March 29, 2020.Staff and volunteers with Project CURE held a drive outside the United Center in Chicago to collect donations of PPE from the community which were then used to supply hospitals and clinics experiencing shortages on March 29, 2020.
He was referring to the unparalleled competition between states trying to secure desperately needed supplies. Ventilators and PPE were all going to the highest bidder because the SNS had little to offer. California worked with"over a dozen different vendors" to secure over 93 million sets of gloves and 180 million N95 respirators for the state's use, according to Brian Ferguson, the deputy director of Crisis Communication and Public Affairs for the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services.
, he said they have not turned down any requests received from the states."We've had 313 since one September and we haven't said no to any.", a professor at North Carolina State University and a supply chain expert, said that state officials he has interviewed from across the country had received some of what they requested from the stockpile but far less than they were promised.
Obviously it takes time to rebuild a depleted stockpile during a extreme product demand! Also during a time of bringing production back from China that a former president (Obama/Biden) allowed outsourcing of jobs & products! Accuracy in reporting is key
Hmm must mean they distributed what they have to meet needs
Oh dear!
What in the actual h***. I am sick of re-using N95. It’s not a pleasant thing to deal with. Hope vaccine works.
I hope President Biden has some sort of 9-11 commission like investigating and hold all those who failed the American public accountable
Joe will fix that
Trump failed.
You mean Jared’s stockpile?
Defund NPR
🤦🏻♂️negligence on this scale needs to have some consequence
NPR must be wrong. trump recently said that since the onset of the virus, everybody who needed a mask, a ventilator, a hospital bed, etc. was able to get one.
Of course it does
Literally using a one time use mask up to 10 times.
I so don’t want to believe this! What has our government been doing?
Wait a minute Trump and Pence said he filled those because Obama had nothing in them
🤔 why does this just not surprise me at all?
Don’t worry, I don’t wear a mask. I’m doing my part!
Wasn't Jared in charge of that? 🙄
Deploy Dry Cleaning Service immediately to dry clean the mask all dry cleaner will be standing by for dry cleaning PPP reusable where even if we get to use out of it this will reduce the risk of going low simple easy
This should be of no surprise to anyone. Supply Hospital staff/First Responders first while trying to replenish the stockpile.

'It’s supposed to be our stockpile,’
GovStitt you ain't protected anymore
When you run the government like the trump taj mahal…
No longer Obamas fault.
My volunteer ppe groups are prepping in case an influx of faceshield requests start again. If you're interested in helping, please let me know.
NJ doesn’t think so, they are selling PpE at a discounted rate to businesses. Don’t run out
Publeeze, FEMA only fills needs not wants. C19 is no longer Epidemic, it’s Endemic Seasonal ( get your facts strait). I he SNS main role is to deliver vaccines to states rapidly and securely. US death rate is 0.07% after 9 months, no crisis
The older I get, the more truth I'm naturally exposed to, the more I discover weakness in our government institutions. Dip shits, like this DrKadlec_ASPR , are why. If some dude, sitting here in Western Massachusetts can see these weaknesses, why can't our elected officials?
Danish Mask Study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. This is a 4,800-person randomized trial. identical results -- 42 of 2,393 people (1.8%) in the mask group & 53 of 2,470 (2.1%) in the no-mask group infected with C19. The difference was not statistically significant.
Hey - it was more important to fund building a wall & to pay for presidential protection details to fly to Palm Beach every weekend & stay at Mar-a-Lago at full rack rate during “the season” than it was to give the agency the $1 billion they requested before the pandemic.
Easy we have incompetent POTUS VP senatemajldr SenateGOP. That is your guilty party.
If you're counting on the government to take care of you during an actual emergency, you're pretty much f*cked...
We got caught with our pants down, because bean counters decided it was cheaper to have China, and other countries do all our manufacturing. We lost jobs, raw material production, sustainability, & we lost security, something Chrysler explained to Regan when they needed a loan.
They get resterilized by a very bright light that is used to disinfect rooms at night. Costs a shit load but its very effective.
We are very very late in managing this crisis. I hope and pray for some real leadership.
We need 2manufacture things in the U.S., like we used to is the outtake. But, there is always this need to stockpile supplies, city, schools, etc. budgets, for a rainy day. But they don't recognize the rainy day, when it comes. Stop stockpiling, need2 dispurse. It's raining!
And now the Top Glove Co in Malaysia has had to shut down operations due to Covid-19. Over 2,000 employees have tested positive.
The stockpile is failing because of the vindictive orange bastard. Early in the pandemic, he and his cronies were selling PPE to the highest bidder overseas. He also manipulated the stockpile as a way to punish states that didn’t support him. Good riddance!
I'm old enough to remember Jared Kushner saying about the SNS, 'it's ours. It's not the states' to use. It's OURS.' Say, whatever happened to all the PPE states and hospitals purchased, but was confiscated by the Feds?
Because Trump sold it off. Said there is no use for it. He was wrong
It’s unacceptable that we don’t have the PPE we need. Sick of reusing my N95
I listened to the story earlier. My daughters working in the hospitals have been living through PPE rationing and reuse. I thought the administration’s revisionist history would have been funny if not so tragic.
Looking forward to Biden's plans in this regard. Hope he will invoke e Defense Production Act to meet this need. Trump admin had the resources to meet the need, but never seriously tried to do so. Made PPE a bargain chip for use with states governors. GOP helped.
It's failing because it's government run.
To CONVINCE the public of the SAFETY of the vaccination ..Initially we should see some representatives from the researchers ,US Congress folk , Biden -Harris et al (and other world leaders) get the shot initially ..to convince the public of the safety.
😭😭😭
That's because Drumpf never activated the National Defense Production Act to address the PPE short fall. As we head into what's likely to be the most severe phase of the pandemic, we'll need billions of gowns & masks, not millions.
It’s almost as if incompetents were in charge.
