Vacation and hiatus time folks.

Terribly sad how your efforts have been ignored.

Sounds like any job. Ohhh this is msnbc, most people here don’t have jobs.

Wtf? Jarrod&donald!

It’s disgraceful that having adequate PPEs for healthcare providers is STILL an issue. This should have been an easy fix by now for the Federal Government to have taken care of.. especially knowing a second wave is still to come. c: realDonaldTrump VP SecAzar

Where exactly are there shortages? Specifics please.

I guess the Jared Kushner-led group responsible for providing personal protective equipment failed at it's job. It was the same when he was in charge of mid east peace.

WHO? WHAT? WHERE & WHEN? Basic journalism

Gross government failure .

Get from Trump undoubtedly!

fakenews

Here we go again

Bullshit. Just more FakeNews. If it’s available online to buy, you know damn well the hospitals are getting it first. Mortality rate has plummeted.

The United States of America Unacceptable

Our nurses and doctors are some very brave people. All honor goes to them, especially serving a nation of the stupid. We dumbed our way to this and when all said and done, we will have paid dearly. Hopefully we will stand, but history is gonna paint sorry picture of all us.

That’s fucking bullshit! Here we go again, I pray Trump didn’t send all of the supplies to his butt buddy Putin.

How is this still possible? Month two of the pandemic I can understand. Month 7 and we can’t figure this out nationally by now?

defund professional sports not 1st responders

Dems are onto the repeat portion of their complaining.

The very 1st priority of caring for patients of Covid19 is to protect health care workers. If we had a true America 1st President & administration we'd have a big stock pill of all PPE. EVERYONE in America would have a n95 mask by now. Everyone! IT'S BEEN OVER 6 MONTHS

What a bunch of poop.

Someone invent re-usable PPE right now. This is ridiculous to throwing away all this. Look at the great helmet on that nurse. Looks like plastic. Build washable plastic helmets for every health worker in the U.S. and do it now!

There's tons of PPP out there, these butt clowns are just making politically disparaging statements

This is bull. I have family members in health care. No one even talks abt PPE. 🙄

How can there not be PPE now? Why wasn’t PPE production ramped up!

NBC News spent weeks documenting its science contributor’s (⁦curefinder⁩) battle with COVID-19, but now he admits that he never tested positive for it.

No hit. They are being imported mostly from China.

Back to PPE shortages? We really suck.

How many hospitals actually have this issue? It would seem to be a very isolated issue.

National disgrace. Shame on you Donald Trump !! Shame on you!

JuliaAngelenPR But the police seem to have all the equipment needed to combat Peacefulprotests about the PoliceBrutalityPandemic with more PoliceBrutality. DefundThePolice so we can fully fund nurses and teachers.

For God's sake, provide these brave medical heroes sufficient PPEs. That's the very least you can do for them and their service. They're saving lives. So, they deserve to save theirs as well.

Thought thats what the federal and state governments were supposed to be working on.

This is what ignoring the virus and pretending it’s going away with the heat & 15 cases going down to zero & one day just like a miracle it disappear looks like ! Why TF is he still leading this country ?

NBC lied about the virus.

These shortages were bad enough few months ago. Completely inexcusable now. WTF Jared?
