Donald Trump has admitted the US government’s emergency stockpile of protective equipment is nearly exhausted because of the extraordinary demands of the coronavirus pandemic.
Trump says US stockpile of protective equipment nearly gone amid coronavirus
Report warns of White House and states competing for supplies as president focuses on counter-narcotics operations at briefing
UV cleaning and gaz sterilization of masks and protective equipment for reutilization / switching between two sets, motherfucker, are you even living in 2020 ? Wtf is this ?
Didn't he say that he could give an order to have factories in the U.S. create more equipment? He even let GM, a car company, make ventilators a week ago.
You haven't heard about what happened in Communist China and the Soviet Union with all the famins ane food shortages, have you?

>doing something before it happens >somehow a bad thing
Adrian Wright
Ummm i thought the based free market would be swooping in to save us when demand was high.... boomerinos where are you now?
Brody Howard
nigger we had stockpiles for exactly this kind of situation of course we're running out that's what it's for. do you want them to keep a stockpile of protective equipment and not use it? You are the same kind of autistic Yas Forumsirgin that hordes all their items in a jrpg and then beat the final boss and never use them. this is the final boss USE YOUR SHIT
Gabriel Reyes
The US hospital system is barely capitalist.
James Foster
Well he should have stockpiled more medical equipment. I think he can still give the order to make new medical equipment, N95 masks, PPE, hazmat suits, etc.
Carter Evans
Gosh I wish we never had WW2 just so you could have seen hitlers Germany crash. Central planning is just stupid.
This
Aiden Perry
that's what he talked about for 2 hours today faggot
Benjamin Foster
nothingburger
Henry Thomas
>he should have stockpiled more medical equipment President Trump didn’t stockpile it to begin with. The stockpile goes back decades.
Angel Bennett
We had a stock pile, only smart people like myself and Styx saw a global Pandemic coming.
Wyatt Garcia
Yeah, well, I don't follow the mainstream media or Trump/government, so I wouldn't know. When did he say he'll start production on the medical equipment, asshole.
Christian Foster
It's okay because he made sure Isreal is S A F E
Blake Gutierrez
If central planning is so stupid, why does the US and England always need to break it up, often with war?
>do nothing about the cartels for 4 years >pandemic hits >time to fight the cartels! >btw we aren't prepared for the pandemic lol Muh leadership. Muh trusting the plan.
Thomas Gutierrez
>>do nothing about the cartels for 4 years Are you retarded?
Julian Hernandez
No he's probably some poor fuck that lives near the border and can see the administration has done a horrible job at keeping the cartels in line.
Austin Mitchell
I ain’t watching that. You need to realize that the necons hate nationalism because it does harm replacement. That being said a free market with laws to prevent replacement is the best way to go. Like a word had pre 1960s
Dylan James
he's been giving multihour press conferences everyday for the past 2 weeks. He invoked the defense production act again specifically to make more n95 no time stamp fuck you you can find it on your own youtube.com/watch?v=Xosr3hpAfF8
Anthony Bennett
It's unironically just a coof. Hospitals are empty.
275k people are hospitalized from influenza every year, 35k-50k die, but they don't run a daily ticker on the numbers. And they aren't even doing that, instead they are giving you daily numbers on people who simply tested positive, well BFD if 200k people have it when 85% don't even need treatment, or already beat it but still show up on tests because of antibodies.
Everyone who was on the /cvg/ threads and on Yas Forums who saw the prepper threads were most likely prepping since late January and throughout February and early March. I began buying food and supplies starting in and throughout February and early March.
Like I said, I don't follow Trump or the mainstream media, although I will read some articles every now and then, usually archived articles to try and not give the mainstream media any clicks.
Nolan Russell
OP why do you lefty's insist on being retarded. what don't you understand about DIRECT shipments?
Brody Hill
How many people are that? Very few, if you watched the wuhan videos and took them at face value you were ready.
Also what could America and the west do? China makes 90 percent of our medial equipment, so we really could not had stock piled when China is using it already.
Luis Rogers
Okay, okay, at least America is not making some medical equipment according to this asshole .
I tried getting ready by buying what was needed, but my Dad kept getting angry at me for buying too many things. I wasn't even able to buy any masks so I've been staying at home mostly since the last round of shopping in early March. Anyways, being prepared a little is better than no preparation at all.
Chase Foster
Most PPE is designed to be disposable and is tossed after one use and not decontaminated, though some hospitals are going against recommendation and stretching this to like ~5. It's the reason why they're burning through it so fast, combined with the drastic increase in use for dealing with anyone who might have it. Reusable respirators (especially in a large quantity) and the equipment to properly sterilize them is something that many US hospitals don't have. fda.gov/medical-devices/personal-protective-equipment-infection-control/questions-about-personal-protective-equipment-ppe
Lincoln Harris
Yeah.. All that wall bullshit, and cracking down on human trafficking, and don’t forget about all the meth and fentanyl seized.. that was all just for show... I’m sure you’re right..
If it’s air born we are pretty much fucked. Your only hope is your body can take it and your food can help your survive the economic crash.
But seriously, self isolation and 6 ft is the best way to go as of now
Nathan Foster
Our monetary system has nothing to do with capitalism.
Colton Hall
The nat soc don’t know this and idolize a Manlet
Ethan Garcia
I've know this was coming since January because of anonymous shit posters. Meanwhile the government allowed chinks in every city in America buy up the entire supply of PPE and ship it back to China. I saw this in person when I started buying supplies in January.
Mason Campbell
This shit is so cringy, stay glued to the orange man on TV and feeling involved like it’s an episode of blues clues or Barney
> fuck feelings, except my hardcore pro trump feelings
Dominic Peterson
They could have halted the Chinese from pulling off a material denial operation in our entire fucking country, closed the borders to literally everyone and let everyone outside die. Instead it watched the most obvious doomsday virus spreading world wide and bought the dip.
Ethan Morris
Yup, and again trump wanted to solve the China issue and border issue years ago but the left says muh racism.
So if this virus is air born and you are dying from it just say. I am so glad my nation is not racist and I am so glad Chinese investors will own my community one day
Nolan Hall
I actually live on the border. It's way worse than it's ever before. Keep talking from your northern shithole though it's entertaining.
Jaxson Thompson
Again trump wanted that but muh racism. Also if Republicans go against the WHO or CDC you get called a science denier and when proven right the opposite side says you did not do enough. It’s also tired some
Grayson Perez
>left says muh racism The president can unilaterally close the nation's borders to anyone for matters of national security. Trump is just ineffectual.
Connor Perry
Lol Trump could personally walk into a school and shoot every white child and I'd still vote for him
John Hill
If we didn't share our shit with the rest of the planet, we would have enough for ourselves. Just saying.
Benjamin Stewart
Are you that dumb or have that bad of a memory? The court’s literally stopped his travel ban and the Supreme Court only gave it a 90 day ban
Noah Ross
Everything gets “stolen” because our leaders have duel alliances to other states. Just look at how Israel got it’s Nuke then look up the Sampson option
Zachary Murphy
>Thinking you're going to convince a single reasonable person that Biden is a better choice. Biden is done. He knows it. The DNC knows it. Why do you think Pelosi and Schiff are trying to pull another impeachment hoax? Because they know Biden can't win so they need to get Trump out of office. They're going to point to the large number of black deaths and say that the Trump admin is trying to genocide blacks and that he needs to be investigated for genocide.
Nicholas Morgan
Yet no such challenges existed when he did it to China and all of Europe. National defense is literally his job.
Aiden Johnson
Or maybe project zyphr is real? Guess time will tell?
Brayden Walker
This. It's gaslighting all the way down.
Colton Robinson
By that time it was too late. Chinese New Year had started
Caleb Williams
Whenever you stockpile resources and command for one thing to be made, the tools to make such a thing are occuppied and resources are diverted from something else that may prove necessary later. You can't stock up for every possible disease or disaster, but you can have a market that freely changes and adapts and rapidly responds to disease and disaster, which is why you see pillow manufacturers producing masks.
Keep fanning his balls, bro. I'm sure turning the country into a diseased socialist shithole is really just 4D chess to own the libs. Trust the plan.
Jackson Walker
That's NOT what he said you fucking nigger.
He said the stockpile is low because they're not putting shit in the stockpile right now...things are going directly from the manufacturer to where it's needed INSTEAD of going into a fucking warehouse somewhere and being stockpiled. You're the kind of low IQ beta cuck faggot that reads a headline and thinks you know something. Actually read the article or, better yet, watch the press conference live.
How? I Am saying the truth, you really think any president could shut down travel to Europe or China in January? While there is no threat at your door step? Get real! And learn how the world works.
Jonathan Bailey
This is the only good post I've seen on Yas Forums in years.
