Still, after months of Trump playing down the public health risk of the disease, and proclaiming the federal response a shining success, the administration's internal data suggest the federal government's ability to help meet any major surge in demand is limited.
Between FEMA and the national stockpile, there are 329,000 pairs of goggles on hand, and the administration has only been able to provide 29 percent of the 4.9 million requested by state and local governments so far, according to the tables. Similarly, 8.5 million gowns are warehoused — the HHS Department did not break down how many are surgical and how many are non-surgical — while only 5.2 million of the 17.9 million surgical gowns requested have been shipped out.
The Department of Homeland Security reported in one of its regular updates that more than one quarter of U.S. states have less than a 30-day supply of personal protective equipment on hand, according to another document created by the HHS Department for task force officials..
Polowczyk said he now has visibility into the entire medical supply chain and he's not seeing problems at major hospital systems. "We’re getting hospital-level information and they are required to report, from the CARES Act, specific hospital things like ICU beds, ICU bed usage, COVID patients, days of supply on hand," he said.
Where are all the confiscated supplies
Duh!
There is no city in this country that will be overwhelmed with Covid . We now have abundant and shared resources.
So much for Trump saying hospitals have more than they need.
Don't states have their own PPE at this point? WTF?
What the fuck has The son in law been doing? Sorry what the fuck is his name?
Is anyone surprised that Trump does not have the capbility to initiate a manufacturing surge that wd be a win for the economy and a win for all Americans? Mary is proven right every minute of every day. Trump shdn't let the door hit him in that ginormous ass on the way out.
FAKENEWS
This is where we started five months ago. Massive fail.
And that doesn't even touch the school system! GovRonDeSantis marcorubio please please please listen! 🙏🙏🙏
The United States is under international lockdown. No one wants Americans in their countries! The States lead the world by far with over 3.5 million COVID-19 cases and over 138,000 Covid deaths. That’s 1/4 of the total COVID 19 deaths in the world! Winning!! All on you, tRump!
Yes they do. Stop scaring everyone.
How in the hell are we so Unequipped !!? No supplies — no plan to help people financially who have been out of work forever- get it the fuck together america helpthepeople makeaplan
More fear mongering.
I would bet NBC wrote up the documents themselves so they can continue their anti American campaign!!
BS!!!! You spend billions on War, Golf games & paying Whores off- find it!!!
We need to help Captain Obvious and leaders. Who is making what, where? Production numbers? Estimated pandemic demand? Projected need? Covid19 PPEshortage
This is no surprise. Our current admin doesn’t believe a pandemic exists.
From an Anonymous Source ? Sounds more like MSNBC Bull 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I don't understand why it's the federal governments job to manufacture masks, etc. Are there even any federal factories?
Anybody surprised by this? Probably not, but can we show a little shock, even outrage? A 10 yr old could have seen this coming, but this administration could not give a damn!!! Unforgivable
Resulting NBCNews headline tomorrow: 'Masks aren't as effective as once thought.'
Nice to know our so-called President Trump didn’t bother to mobilize the nation’s health defenses. At dawn Donald Trump golfed. The buck stops as a waiter’s tip at his Mar-a-Lago clubhouse after his piece of chocolate cake.
So who leaked the confidential documents to you.....?
The ramifications of relying on other countries to supply us with essentials.
Since when did we become so dependent on the government?
Time to lockdown again then ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
Who's the best at fear mongering? CNN, ABC, CBS or NBC
What do you mean may not have? It's obvious they don't and they haven't done anything to build a stockpile because Trump wants to pretend the most deadly virus in over 100 years doesn't exist.
Why?!?!?!? Trump and the Federal Government have had FOUR MONTHS to get this in order!!!! This is not okay.
Yeah instead of replenishing it, trump bitched about it. IMAGINE THAT.
just unacceptable and incompetent beyond comprehension. The administration has at least 5 months to work on.
NBCPhiladelphia Naturally they used all the time between March till now restocking National supplies. That would show common sense.
12News may not? if true then report, not maybes
cmc4diversity I thought Kushner made it clear that the federal stockpile shouldn’t go to the States because it’s for, you know, federal things or some shit.
The whole thing started depleted due to Obama.
ShesFromTX Wtf are we paying them for then?
How has this even happened? There’s a Task Force (Pence) and an under-task force (Kushner) and STILL hospitals are short of PPE? Did they learn nothing from NYC? Shocking incompetence!!!!!
They, under Trump, are totally incompetent. Period. They were unprepared 5-6 months ago and pushed it off on the governors. Now when they've had all this time, still completely unprepared. Trump adm pushed the reopening, caused the current surge. Unbelievable.
Again with this BS 😡🤬
So in real terms... They don’t have enough.
Shocking. The shitshow continues.
Anyone surprised here?! What is realDonaldTrump doing?! What is the WhiteHouse doing to address this?! We are in dire straits here and have NO FEDERAL LEADERSHIP!
So, will Fauci tell us masks don't work again 🤷🏾♀️
INVOKE P! oh are we not doing that anymore, and it was just a cheap stunt to make it appear like he gave a fuck back in March? dang
Did JaredKushn fail again?!? Wow, shocker. He was in charge of the stockpile. Must've sent it to Russia, so they can send it back to us and look like friends. PutinsGOP PutinsPuppet
BS
TrumpVirusCatastrophe
We thought this was Kushner’s project
TRUMPS A FAILURE... BIGLY
DataforcSandra If the government is unable to supply PPE now what can we expect if in the fall the virus becomes much more prevalent Maybe trump is preparing to leave the cupboard bare for the new administration
Why?
Lazy
So we learned absolutely nothing from our experience in March/April.....great....
what have they been doing
He needs to invoke the DPA, NOW. Some company in this country needs to be forced to manufacture this stuff. But alas, we know he won't. He's the most indecisive POTUS since James Buchanan let the Civil War happen.
It’s thin because trump has not done his job?
Your lieing just as always!
'The federal government may not have the capacity to supply medical professionals' - this is an assumption that the millions of items already distrubuted to the State isn't sufficient. Localities within State should be looking to the States for supply/resupply if they are short
To whom it may concern. Sir/madam, May I use this medium to inform you that we have for sales at a very attractive rate 500kgs of 22karat plus gold in stock and ready for monthly supply of between 50 and 100kgs. We currently wish to sell at $20,500. Per kg. and might reconsider
Total garbage dick response from the Fed Gov. They had months to figure this out, months. This is what it looks like when the Feds give up on the people. November can't come soon enough.
Oh but wait.. they said the Federal stockpile was back to 100% You mean..its not? You mean, someone just said 'fuck it' after the ' first wave ' and didn't try to fix what was so broken? You mean nothing's changed? C'ept that we're like 5X as fucked as we were in Mar. SMH.
DEFENCE PRODUCTION ACT.
Its good we shut the country down a few months ago, to give us time to prepare for this.....
The United States is under international lockdown. No one wants Americans in their countries! The States lead the world by far with over 3.5 million COVID-19 cases and over 138,000 Covid deaths. That’s 1/4 of the total COVID 19 deaths in the world! Winning!! All on you, tRump!

This is a National Emergency, yet there has been very little leadership coming out of DC. What you have now have is 50 states trying to cope and doing 50 different things, and Trump playing blame game. If we don't band together as a Country we will not control this virus.
yeah that's illegal medical supply lines are highly quality controlled and certified
Well lmao oh well we got all of it 1st then the south lol red states in the South is always last
They deal EVERYTHING to fill their pockets.

Maybe trump shouldn't of given to Russia etc.!
The truth is the federal government 'aka' realDonaldTrump and Republicans don't give a damn about keeping Americans alive. VoteThemAllOut
Trump in 3 ....2.....
That’s not ‘new.’ We’ve known that since the start and when they sent broken ventilators to the hospitals.
Recycled bullshit.
Jared sold it to China.
LIES
They had over 5 months and the National defense act ffs. Get your shit together, please.
Bullshit
‘Cause they thought it would just go away.
Communist dictator (murdered millions) Mao Zedong's dictum & the slogan of Chinese Communist Party - 'women hold half of the sky'. Sleepy Joe Biden's rhetoric in a fundraiser - 'Women hold half of the sky'.
We were warned NYGovCuomo saw that comong..we are in deep s---
😡😡😡😡
No kidding.
I thought they went to Jared ?
The Strategic National Stockpile and FEMA have fewer than 900,000 gloves in reserve after shipping 82.7M of them since the coronavirus crisis began, according to figures compiled Sunday by HHS officials for senior leaders of the interagency coronavirus task force effort.
Is it still Obama’s fault? I need to see if it’s on my Trump is blameless bingo card.
jaredkushner MURDERER.
How the actual fuck is this possible? We’ve had 5 fucking months.
VOTE BLUE THIS IS WHAT YOU GET One America News OANN · 3h Seattle mayor unveils plan to cut police budget by $76M - OANN
Trump/government negligence and malfeasance.
BULL NBC FAKE NEWS
Countries like Brazil offer a free healthcare system, even if precarious, but their citizens are not under any circumstances without hospital care. A question that realDonaldTrump used as a political platform in his election campaigns,and offered no solution when asked.
Then what is the point in having a federal government? What were they doing these past few months with all the time we were supposed to be buying with the lockdowns?
If only we knew to start making more
How can this WhiteHouse and this POTUS not be prepared for a wave after 7 months to get prepared. Dear Trump voters, this is what incompetence looks like!
So much winning!😡
Our laws actually state that if you're wealthy, you don't deserve to be in jail & you can go, but if you're poor you have to stay! Wealth should never be the determining factor that decides whether or not you stay in jail. Rich politicians wrote laws to mass incarcerate the poor!
Again some pencil pushers opinion!
