Washington The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency could not say in an interview Sunday how many medical masks the federal government has acquired to send to hospitals in dire need of them as supplies dwindle amid the coronavirus pandemic.
"How many masks does federal government have right now and when can they get to local hospitals?" CNN's Jake Tapper asked FEMA Administrator Peter Gaynor on"State of the Union." "When it comes to supplies, we have been shipping from the national stockpile for weeks," he replied."We've been shipping, we shipped today, we're going to ship tomorrow.
Why don't you get some from New York? Their governor is very proud how many he has shown today.
Regardless of who heads FEMA there is always issues with what they talk about. Eventually they are hung out to dry. This guy got crossed up on stage with 45 and Sunday tv shows
Wouldn’t say. He is not a fool. He knows how many there are. He lies like his boss.
Corporations is needed here to fight coronavirus that is devastating nation to nation
So? I wouldn't expect him to be able to.
Did he just threaten hoarders? Said “we are going to come for you”? Not a good look.
Why would the head of FEMA know? There are under Homeland security. Why not the head of Health and human services or Medicare?
OMG! We should impeach Trump for the way he's handling this pandemic. Wait,,, we've been trying to impeach him since before he got into office! Maybe we can just trash him for this until the election and that might work. What a bunch of friggin POS's.
Classic conflict avoidance. There are 'no masks'. Or a box of '3 masks' will show up, delivered by USPS in 2-3 days. If there were masks, C-140 planes would be in air. Fema would be able to show JQPublic the shipping manifest.
Lots of happy talk and too few masks.
Counting masks...such a hard job...requires thinking...and numbers...can't be bothered with that...must make sure to speak with all the governors and dump this pandemic problem in their lap...yeah...that doesn't require counting.
Imagine if Obama had fumbled like this. FoxNews and the MAGA morons would be all over him and his race and what not... Not to mention if he was a kenyan...
The question that should have been asked is why we don't already have this stuff stockpiled & ready to go.
What good is he if he can’t answer simple questions? This should not be so hard for the crisis managers. Well unless you are not competent. The Cracker Jack Team is being exposed in real time.
Why didn’t all these people who are supposed ly on all these task forces know about the lack of supplies? I’d like to know how much money has been wasted paying all these people for the last decade? It’s not the President’s job to count masks !!
Shut up.
senatemajldr this is OUTRAGEOUS!
Don't worry,just flu
Millions
He was an idiot.
What the imbeciles don’t get and if they did wouldn’t be clamoring for numbers and delivery dates-we don’t have the capacity in US to produce the shit on a massive scale-when the globalists sold out middle USA and off-shored the jobs we lost control of the supply chain
Sensationalism at it’s finest...You are right there on the front lines of what us really important here, aren’t you.
Tell me ONE HOSPITAL today that received masks from FEMA. Just one. The failure to cite is problematic.
They're as incompetent as their leader.
I guess Communism will come to the US this summer.
As like most that are managing this crisis, ignorance is bliss
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is an agency of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, created in 1978. The main aim is to respond to disasters that are hard to deal with by local or state governments alone. 1978.6.19
He said they were distributed and then said they are being shipped today or tomorrow 🤨 Which is it
This is the same as the early days in China,and that woman was fired soon.
Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. MLK
Answer zero masks.
oha？
This administration is like the keystone cops, except more evil.
Go to jail! TrumpLiedPeopleDied
My sister in law is a nurse at a major hospital in a Chicago Suburb. They have been told to just re-use their masks that are supposed to be disposable. Ridiculous!!!!
China virus
but but but Trump says his administration is working tremendously and doing a tremendous job in fighting this invisible Chinese Ku-flu enemy tremendously tremendous.
🤡
What a disgrace and dysfunctional our goverment departments have become
He obviously does not know and there are not nearly enough
Can't just count?
Are you kidding!
The 'new' America... Tens of Thousands of people storm the hospitals that have no need to be there
Westchester cases leveling off why no coverage
The Devil never tells the truth. These people sitting high up needing to make decisions on saving lives in this event better move their ASS! SPEAK UP! BE TRUTHFUL. WHY? LIKE TRUMP SAID WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE? MY MOM, DAD, GRANDPARENTS, SISTERS, BROTHERS, AUNT, UNCLES, COUSINS!
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 he has no clue!!!

When your entire platform is based on destroying bureaucracies and cutting red tape, you can't be surprised if the bureaucracies fail miserably when you need them
You dummies really want a number. Here, a lot.
some ppl have zero realistic expectations of things in NORMAL times and now a historical almost biblical level, GLOBAL events are occurring at breakneck speeds and idiots want a specific ?
Rush Limbaugh has the solutions!
Why couldn't he say ? this guy and others like him are a waste of time, they sit and receive tax payers money to do their jobs and then do nothing for it.
Couldn't or wouldn't
Holy hell...
