| Topic | Obama administration depleted stockpile of N95 masks and did not replenish them |
| GanonsSpirit 04/04/20 5:07:36 PM #17: | ProPublica reported on April 3 that congressional budget battles in the early years of the Obama administration contributed to stockpile shortages. But the article notes available funds were used not to replenish masks: "With limited resources, officials in charge of the stockpile tend to focus on buying lifesaving drugs from small biotechnology firms that would, in the absence of a government buyer, have no other market for their products, experts said. Masks and other protective equipment are in normal times widely available and thus may not have been prioritized for purchase, they said." Sounds like congress's fault, to me. --- https://imgur.com/tsQUpxC Thanks, Nade Duck! [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[|||||||||||||]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] ... Copied to Clipboard! |
