about looming problems in the supply chain. Her report was based on interviews with unnamed employees at medical supply companies, one of whom warned that raw material for gowns is not available at any price in the amounts needed, leading to an “unsustainable” situation.
FEMA, which manages the nation’s stockpile, would not break down which states have enough gear to last beyond 30 days and which do not. In June, the government started replenishing its once-depleted stockpile with the goal of building up a two-month supply. The AP analysis found that low-population, mostly rural states received the largest FEMA allocations per confirmed case. As of mid-June, for example, Montana had received 1,125 items of protective gear per case, compared with 32 items per case in Massachusetts, an early hot spot. States including California, Iowa and Nebraska, all of which have seen a surge in confirmed infections, received among the lowest amounts of protective gear from FEMA per case, according to the AP analysis.
Hospital administrators should be fired. Everyone was warned months ago that there would be a second wave. How could they not be prepared. Oh wait Trump did it sorry forgot.
Where? This article mentions zero statistics or where they’re limited. Nonsense
Not possible, someone is probably stealing it or selling it. The pandemic is over, just ask trump, he’ll tell you and he’s never wrong, (well he’s only wrong on days where the sun comes up, he’s right on all the other days though).
Maybe trumps using it for the wall
But realDonaldTrump said that it was over! It’s not dangerous anymore!
It is simply really only medical professionals should be wearing masks not every citizen. So if you want give all those masks you bought to hospitals and paramedics instead of wearing them. And my Dept is no were near a shortage so just saying. I don't believe the Ap.
realDonaldTrump
luciahoff How can this country not have a national testing system yet? How can it not have a supply line of PPE in place? The incompetence is staggering.
clarkslick Remind me how many months tRump has had to use the DPA in order to prepare us for this moment? To ramp up stock and production for any future outbreaks? He's too busy denying the threat. F🤬 him!
ceejay410 realDonaldTrump is an abject fucking failure responsible for KILLING THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS. FredsFailure
melodious1960 Looks like We'll have to learn to live with it is just Die
ISOLATION GOWNS, GLOVES & MASKS MUST BE CHANGED AFTER EACH INTERACTION WITH A PATIENT. There can never be too much & should be stocked frequently. This country is a joke!
Of course it is Trump sent PPE supplies and ventilators to his pal Putin just like he did to China back in February.
You’ve had FOUR FRIGGIN MONTHS TO PREPARE FOR THIS!!!!!!
fema Matthew, supplies running low again!
So, the problem was never addressed at the root cause. TrumpKillsUS
PattyArquette I still just have one N-95 mask to reuse.
Running low AGAIN? Our healthcare facility hasn't ever had appropriate PPE throughout Coronavirus. Refusing to enact the DPA is criminal. Journalists need to hold GOPCowards to account.
We sheltered in place for months and our government had time to get things in order and they did not line even one duck up.
Need to buy quality products that are made in the USA
IT WAS ALWAYS LOW
PPE supply never got better.
And Trump recently said, 'Need ventilators?' Like they're stockpiled.
That is the fault of the governors who are supposed to be buying it. Time to use HC as a preventative.
Please. They never restocked. They haven't done anything in the last few months to ensure that our healthcare workers have proper PPE.
Retweet
wildwestleft Kushner stole it and put it in his bdrm
But dipshit RonDeRacist said don’t worry
I wish I could believe this story. However, having seen AP so often twist facts in an effort mislead readers in the past, I don't. Sorry.
It was never at the levels we needed it. We’re using printers and duck tape to fix PAPRs, reprocessing masks, and our main source of shields are from 3D printers. Gowns have to be marked non medical to keep the government from confiscation and get it out of asia.
Can we just go to Jared ...?
And the “president” said we were so oversupplied that we were sending supplies to other countries. 🥺you mean he wasn’t being truthful? 🙄Maybe Kanye and his sister-in-law, Moscow Mitch and his wife, and the rest of the millionaires and billionaires could cover supply costs.
Inexcusable. Just shows how ineffective PottedPlantPence is. He should have the brains to be proactive with PPE equipment. They obviously sit around and do nothing other than try to raise money for the 2020 campaign. The WHAdmin is incapable of handling a pandemic.
The government is cutting back testing and PPE. Trump and Republicans are done with covid-19 and want Americans to just 'live with it' and become numb to its effects. We must rise up and demand action!
realDonaldTrump VP get off your butts and do your job!!!
Yet to hear about anyone getting PPE from My Pillow man.
What is tRump doing about PPE this time? NOTHING!!!
Jfc.
thekjohnston Won’t be long before the govt starts confiscating their supplies & selling them off like they did to NY & Massachusetts.
realDonaldTrump sent it all to NK and Russia
Lies, lies and more lies!!
More fear propaganda tactics
TrumpPandemicFailure
Here we go again!!!...Such a racket these hospitals and PPE suppliers have become
TRUMP failed to use the emergency war powers act He should have ordered PPE Reagents Proper Swabs Months ago. But instead he has been worried about the Wallets of his constituents He needs to Order the Nat. Guard to INSTALL HVAC Systems in all public schools
Isn’t it awesome that these past few months were for nothing bc of assholes that refuse to wear a mask or social distance
And our wonderful governors (like Washington states inslee) make masks mandatory helping to further delete the supply for front liners. Oh and don’t forget China making tons of money off masks they make that Amazon sales.
'Don't believe the hype...' - Public Enemy
“Protective gear” isn’t biodegradable and I know they don’t recycle the suits. Corporate pollution isn’t covered
Why do you continue your agenda to promote fear? For heavens sake, it's not that bad!!!
And idiot governors (like Washington states inslee) make masks mandatory helping to further delete the supply for front liners. Oh and don’t forget China making tons of money off masks they make that Amazon sales.

kyledcheney 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ Just call Donald he will fix it for you!
Of course. Trump won’t say “the cupboards are bare” again because now it’s totally on his watch. TrumpVirus
sarah_meinzer How can this be? Trump and friends keep crowing about how well supplied we are
Impossible... we have watched Mike_Pence do the end zone dance so many times over the past few months... and he gets on Air Force Duece to stomp out them 'embers'... Mikey, say it isn't so!!! God bless!!! ;)
kyledcheney Well, duh. You could see that coming from a mile away.
kyledcheney Running out testing equipment at walk in clinics as well.
'some lawmakers' - you know, Democrats who are politicizing this pandemic by trying to allocate funds to provide PPE for the medical workers who are fighting and dying to save our lives.
kyledcheney You mean tRump didn’t stock pile them? I thought he had the best mostest mask in the world.
We are so bad at this.

When health officials said protesting is a valid reason for mass gatherings, they lost all credibility. The death rate is dropping every day while cases are rising. This isn’t as deadly as they are wanting us to believe
Remember, the Trump administration's plan is there is no plan.

We never reached acceptable levels. All medical facilities had to modify best (aka safest) practices due to continued shortages. Putting educated trained health care providers at risk of being out sick for weeks AND endangering patients who were not Covid + until infected by Dr
Artificial caps on price create shortages.
Give me on the record names of authorities at specific hospitals saying this - otherwise I’m brushing this off like the CNN story about running out of beds Too much fear mongering to believe your headlines anymore
DavidEggert00 Who manufactures the PPE? China?
Check with Fredo's big brother . . . he sells to the highest bidder!
