The state of Illinois is desperate to receive medical supplies to fight the coronavirus outbreak, but the Trump administration is barely providing the state with anything, a senior state official told CNN

Referring to"Project Airbridge" -- an airlift of supplies provided by the federal government and private health care distributors and helmed by White House senior adviser and President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner -- the official said that"the Airbridge that Trump and Pence talk about coming to Illinois -- all the goods went to other states. We got nothing.

"The Trump administration had also said that it had sent Illinois 300,000 N95 masks, which is what doctors wear when treating individuals infected with a virus. The state had requested 1.7 million."But actually," the official told CNN,"they sent us 300,000 general/medical masks." Those masks are not considered respiratory protection by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and are not totally effective in preventing coronavirus transmission.

Starting to think that the feds are giving out very small amounts of equipment and supplies because they just don't have any.

What a liar. IL Emg MGMT has a FEMA PO in the EOC who processes requests. FEMA has to weight the actual needs based on not cases but patients hospitalized and BTW there are 50 other states. Too bad no one actually runs IL numbers and % against population. In New York only 3% ICU

Not for nothing but did you bother to ask Pritzker what steps Illinois to prepare for a possible pandemic? Federal government has role but first line of defense is state and city government. If state not prepared , a bit lame to blame federal government for not bailing them out.

YOU UNTRUTH TELLING PEOPLE JUST WONT STOP! OUR GREAT PRESIDENT HAS BEEN FAST TO RESPOND TO EVERY THING FOR THIS PANDEMIC.HE CANT PULL MEDICAL SUPPLIES OUT OF A MAGICAL HAT. EVERY THING TO PRODUCE ALL THINGS NEEDED IS BEING DONE.STOP THE LIES AND POLITICAL PLOYS. STAND TOGETHER!

When Trump and his team conduct a Press Briefing in the midst of a massive crisis and the liberal media doesn’t air it, it can mean only one thing! 🇺🇸FOUR MORE YEARS🇺🇸

Here goes the blaming Trump 😂

Trump is a ☠️☠️☠️

According to the Illinois Emergency Preparedness Plan it is the State Government that should be fulfilling the city’s needs. Bitching , moaning and complaining by the governor is not part of the plan. In other words it is his responsibility

Of course they told CNN, BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO KEEP THE NARRATIVE UP. SHAME ON YOU FOR SHORTING YOUR OWN HOSPITALS.

You guys are a joke...you complain about him starting the briefing about the war on drugs....you say it was a political ploy ..so what if he did..hes the president .good move ..I love it..now he is talking Corona virus briefing after

Welcome to the Peoples Democratic Republic of Trump. peoplesdemocraticrepublicoftrump TrumpLiedPeopleDied

It is up to the state to obtain medical supplies that they need...with help from the Federal Govt. Sadly, Illinois has a corrupt, do-nothing political windbag as Governor.

You are where Obama came from!! Remember He is trying to Erase everything About Obama! You area a Bullseye!!

Dumb Trump and his administration are killing people.

Hint: don't believe IL state officials.

No one believes you

everything democrats touch turns to crap... now they want Trump's help.... LOL...LOL...LOL

You don't have enough Electoral votes!!

This is a FAKE NEWS from State of Illinois!!

Looks like they managed to find one person to fit the narrative they want. After all Newson was such a disappointment for Tapper when he wouldnt and Cuomo is a lost cause

More political grandstanding for CNN 🤡💩

How is the news 10 weeks into a pandemic still about this administration’s callous disregard for its citizens? HOW

Why was Illinois so short of medical supplies in the first place? Maybe the democrat controlled government there can answer this question? fyi... a democrat controlled government is the answer to the question

Lies.

He's the elected governor so if he can't handle a crisis situation then he needs to step aside and let someone else do the job.

Why did they have it already states got to start having some responsibility

he has treated your state horribly

Land of the Sick, Home of the Hate.

More CNN bullshit

Man that just sad that Trump can't put in any effort to help them out 😡
