Feds have 1.5 million expired N95 masks in storage (healthcare, Clinton, Obama)

And they're giving them to TSA, instead of our hospital workers. Wonderful.

I think the hospital can get their own stuff.

Except they can't. Private enterprise. Competing against the state, individuals, corporation and the Federal Governments. Even a wealthy hospital profit center can't compete against people glad to overspend taxpayer money.

Surely you realize that?

Most hospitals are very profitable. And who, in their right mind, believes that hospitals will not bill the patients for every single thing provided to that patient?

So what's the plan? Have hospitals and government bid up for essential gear using other people's money without regard to who actually needs it the most?

We need national coordination, not insane ad hoc nonsense.

My daughter, son in law, and 3 yr old granddaughter is sick. My daughter complains that her husband who works for TSA wasn’t provided with a mask.

This is good news for them and me.

A pandemic requiring a national response is the exact type of thing that requires Federal intervention and coordination.

We can't even get our elected officials to coordinate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So why is this any different??

I'm also sensing that Governor Cuomo is "running" for president, because the Dems KNOW Biden can't beat Trump!! Cuomo is from New York, would have Bloomberg money and Clinton Foundation money, and is a very smooth talker, like Obama! If I were Biden, I'd be worried!
