FILE — In this Monday April 6, 2020 file photo, Gov. Gavin Newsom discusses the acquisition of the Sleep Train Arena for use as a field hospital, after touring the facility, in Sacramento, Calif., Newsom announced, Tuesday, April 7, 2020 the state will spend nearly $1 billion to purchase up to 200 million masks per month to boost the state's stockpile of protective equipment during the COVID-19 outbreak and provide as a supplier to other western states.

This shit is nobody’s fault

Fake news

WBRCnews That’s the Governor of California THAT GAVE BACK MEDICAL SUPPLIES BACK ..

Yes quit relying on government! Their trying to destroy the American freedom!

the problem is everything is made in china and your idiots to the highest level possible to put the american citizens in this position. you should all hang by your necks and do it like they use to in front of the whole town.

Look on ebay. Buy a box of masks then go get their stockpile. Pay them fair price value or put them in jail? Not for me to say but that's what I'd do. Needs to be a States union task force in this. NOT FEDS. but state's union group. Keep feds out!

We will see better results now that people and GOVERNORS know they can’t beg the Federal govt for supplies.

Remember last week, when the Feds said they had a stockpile but it was theirs alone?

The Federal governments failure will show in the polls.

OH but' those are OURS' quotes the Kushner FOP! Yes shitheel they are the Federal Governments to NOT LET This Bidding War for medical supply's go Rampant! Let the States fight for them! Ooooh, that's right...You are on the side of big Business Buddies and Donors to get Richer!

Trump grifted USA Medical supplies to highest bidder. TRUMPGENOCIDEFORPROFIT

Oh now dependent on China again.

Get it from China. Not all of them are crooks. Americans are worse price gougers than they are.

Who has it? Where did they get it? Who is making the profits here?

Can't Expect any Help from the Incompetent Trump coronavirus

You know that fed stockpiles were empty under Obama’s, the President told you on presser

FakeNews old news, now we move products to where it is needed.

And so, in a free market system, when a supply of something is used up, somebody sees that need and takes steps to fill it. And so that will be happening, They sometimes call that “supply and demand.”

God Or Party, GOP ?

Thanks obama & Biden NeverDemocrat WalkAway LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder EnemyOfThePeople Trump2020

States have finally recognized that The Jolly Orange Child now in the Oval Office is incapable of doing the Job.

I would venture to say it’s not so much drained it’s just the pos politicians want to stop testing, get everyone back out to spread more Covid so they can gain more profits. Great America we live in.

Very sad state of affairs all because of trump idiocy and gross stupidity

Feds are shipping direct also, bypassing the Fed disty centers.

Time to watch our state representatives go to work. That's why we have them, no?

That's all Obama's fault. Trump has only had 3+ years to do something about it.

Jesus, this wasn’t some 10yrs ago; this was 2/24/2020, as in 6 weeks ago! A US President said this 6 weeks ago, even praised WHO; then we lost 16,000 Americans souls! Once a fraud, always a fraud! The most incompetent fck this country ever had as Pres!

Let's hope they don't get ripped off by China, like Europe did ...
