    The shortage of PPE for healthcare workers to the point where hospitals have to go to such lengths to obtain it is among the greatest failures of the federal government.https://twitter.com/NEJM/status/1251571193984847874 …

        The lack of coordination, the lack of clear process, and the ceding of leadership at the most basic level. The federal government is filled with committees, with hard drives filled with plans. Someone would have to actively decide to stand down their capacity to coordinate.

        I've been to biodefense conferences where delegates from the DoD/USAMRIID, CDC, and FEMA discuss pandemic response. They have/had shared playbooks. Can you imagine that the current state is in any pre-planned playbook?

        We had a local physicians org drop off some n95s this week. It will help a little bit when we reopen. A little.

        How odd. I haven't heard this reported bye the MSM. They would, of course, LOVE to report this, so why haven't they? Why is it that someone like you throws this out there without verification? Are we suppose to trust you? WHY?

        This isn't about shortage, they had to do this because the federal government is literally stealing PPE from state governments and giving it to crony resellers

        It’s about BOTH shortages AND the feds filching PPE.

        It is not failure, it's sabotage. tRump's regime is about absolutist control of resources.

        The even greater question is, why is the Trump Regime doing this?

        I would think it represents a failure of hospital administration.
