I read where POTUS Trump said nobody expected anything like this.

What a shame. And other people blame POTUS Obama for the depletion of N95 masks.



wave kind of makes some people wonder if the man who takes credit for a booming economy has now destroyed it.

Trump didn't cook up the virus. if Obama knew of this, that is to suggest he knew China's interest in preparing this cocktail.

I diubt POTUS Obama help cook up the coronavirus. He was talk to the effect of a more global society that we should be prepared to fight crud which could be airborne unlike the ebola which did not have an airborne transmission.

As the novel coronavirus pandemic strains health care systems, questions around the U.S. government's response have circulated in the media and online.

On March 26, The Daily Wire published an article centering on the Obama administration’s role in using and allegedly failing to replenish the federal stockpile of N95 masks.

According to Snopes...

Was Obama Responsible for N95 Masks Shortage?
As the COVID-19 pandemic ratcheted up in the United States, so did partisan finger-pointing.

Former President Barack Obama's administration was to blame for the shortage of protective equipment like N95 respirator masks in the early months of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.

What's True
The U.S. federal stockpile of N95 protective face masks was largely depleted during the 2009 swine flu outbreak and was not restocked.

What's False
However, the Obama administration was not solely responsible for the current shortage of masks. In the intervening years, the stockpile went unreplenished as the Trump administration failed to heed indications that dramatic shortages could occur.

Mitt Romney's speech, surreptitiously recorded, known as "the billionaire luncheon video" exemplifies the values of the current Republican party today as well as the decades since Reagan.
One consolation- the people Romney was vilifying were serving them their food. CORONAVIRUS

How Tea Party Budget Battles Left the National Emergency Medical Stockpile Unprepared for Coronavirus

Fiscal restraints imposed by Republicans in Congress in the early years of the Obama administration left the U.S. less prepared to respond to the coronavirus pandemic today

well, Obama created Obama-care, Trump destroyed it, so now a lot of people in the USA have no health-insurance. And see what a disaster it is, the most deaths of all countries, even more than China or India, countries with a bigger population.
And after SARS and Ebola, pandemics could be expected.

Democrats in Congress, as well as Republicans in Congress, were responsible for the level of funding for a lack of preparedness for things like covid1. Im referring to the content in the material you reference. wave

Pandemic was #1 on our threat list above war and terrorism not that broader society reflected this. Most of our services revolved around low prices, low funding and little margin for error.

And that could change now. We spend a fortune on Trident down to the outdated fears of world war 3 and nuclear apocalypse because world war 2 was the last great threat to us. But things change. Today it would be both wise and popular to divert resources from mutually assured destruction and put them into disease control. We will prepare for the next catastrophe being a pandemic, and it'll turn out to be something else.
