FEMA administrator Pete Gaynor couldn’t give a clear-cut answer when asked about key supply shortages as the COVID-19 outbreak continues to overwhelm hospitals, during his Sunday morning TV appearances.
“It is a dynamic and fluid operation,” Gaynor said. “The President appointed FEMA five days ago to manage federal operations and since I’ve been here, we’ve been shipping continuously from federal warehouses, and again, connecting, you know, those governors that need supplies to those who have it in the commercial sector.”
Indeed…it is a dynamic and fluid operation…because it is half-hazard response that has been lied about, ignored, denied, delayed for more than 2 months!
Meanwhile, while medical responders are running out of PPE like N95 masks, ICE Deportation Team is asking for 45,000 N95 masks!
Addendum2:
Apparently, the Covidiot Trump Regime is “launching a communications plan across multiple federal agencies that focuses on accusing Beijing of orchestrating a “cover-up” & creating a global pandemic” per Daily Beast.
From June 1948 to September 1949, the United States delivered 2,323,067 tons of food and fuel to the people of Berlin during the Berlin Airlift. And now?
"The Federal government is not supposed to be out there buying vast amounts of items and then shipping. You know, we’re not a shipping clerk.”
Living here on the east coast I know its the responsibility of state and local officials to keep us informed,the MSM is giving New York Governor kudos for his actions,the problem I’m having how much is too much,he and DeBlasio New York city mayor are just doing overkill.My own opinion thus the many Trump lie pressers that we are seeing are Trump trying to keep up with them.Coumo like DeBalsio comes on and the capture all the local and national channels.
“I ask every American: if you have symptoms, go get a test,”
So you are saying that you are now entirely prepared to test “every American” with “symptoms”? … the evidence to date would say that this is an absolute lie.
In engineering, a bottleneck is a phenomenon by which the performance or capacity of an entire system is severely limited by a single component. The component is sometimes called a bottleneck point. The term is metaphorically derived from the neck of a bottle, where the flow speed of the liquid is limited by its neck.
Obviously incompetent. What I’m trying to figure out is if he is just plain incompetent at his FEMA job or incompetent at obfuscating what is going on in a believable way. His appearance just left everyone less inclined to believe anything from anyone in authority in the federal government (if that is possible).
Overkill? You’ve got to be kidding. If you don’t like what you’re hearing from these concerned leaders, tune into the Trump micro-rally every day and root for the asshole in the White House.
“I ask every American: if you have symptoms, go get a test,” Gaynor said.
Sure thing, chief. From NBC: "On Friday, New York City’s health department sent out a health alert to thousands of physicians instructing them to only test for COVID-19 in patients that require hospitalization. "
One of the keys to bringing this under control is having enough kits to test people without symptoms who have been exposed in case they are spreading the virus and don’t know it. He must be another Trump appointee, the incompetence just burns. You are telling us you don’t have an inventory system set up to keep track of what is happening. Why don’t you know what you have left, how much is going out and where it is going and how much will be coming to replenish the stocks? How much are you likely to need as this thing ramps up? It is simple bookkeeping, dumb ass!!!
The goal should be to test everyone. Many who are infected don’t know it. Those are the people we need to ID and isolate. Meanwhile everyone needs to assume they are a carrier if they feel okay. See Iceland as an example.
They’re just using the old Trump playbook: deflect, distract, dodge until the next crisis… and hope that will be sparkly enough for this to be forgotten.
I fully expect for Trump & his allies to eventually come out and say something along the lines of: the hysterical left Dems said we’d have over 2 million dead - and only 1 million died because we were so good at this.
