Caught an interview with the former National Stockpile Manager. The media keeps suggesting that the Administration has done something wrong regarding the PPE shortage. According to the real expert, the problem is that the vast majority of the PPE is made in China. The National Stockpile was ordering PPE, but as the virus grew in China, China prevented manufacturers from shipping to retain the PPE for themselves. So we got none. And that is the reason for the shortage, and now China is shipping again.
The President has said that we are shipping equipment to countries that have the need, where we have excess to our needs.
You know GF, it is clear to me that you have never been involved in acquisition or supply chain management. There are a lot of moving parts. if one part goes wrong, it can impact the the entire chain. Half the time, the bad stuff you hear about is antedotal and not due to policy or direction from any credible source. No credible source is going to direct the veterans to "conserve" supplies so we can send stuff to China. This is one of the problems I have with the liberal media - they rely on antedotal stories.
Thanks GOOF-IDIOT for calling our attention to the continuing ineffectiveness of the dimokrap SWAMP. Conservatives are working really hard to drain all tha liberal idiots out of da gubment, but it takes time.....at least four more years. Please keep posting all the liberal idiot swamp failures!!!
