By Obama’s final year, the nation’s preparedness on all measurements was 98% to 100%. That’s by the Trump administration’s own assessment.
:lolabove: Weird we had a shortage of medical supplies in 2020:clap::doh:

Huh? Math...years to prepare...never mind, keep clapping.

When President Trump took office in 2017, his team stopped work on new federal regulations that would have forced the health care industry to prepare for an airborne infectious disease pandemic such as COVID-19. That decision is documented in federal records reviewed by NPR.

"If that rule had gone into effect, then every hospital, every nursing home would essentially have to have a plan where they made sure they had enough respirators and they were prepared for this sort of pandemic," said David Michaels, who was head of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration until January 2017.

There are still no specific federal regulations protecting health care workers from deadly airborne pathogens such as influenza, tuberculosis or the coronavirus. This fact hit home during the last respiratory pandemic, the H1N1 outbreak in 2009. Thousands of Americans died and dozens of health care workers got sick. At least four nurses died.

Did Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham play by her own rules? We've learned a non-essential business opened back in April, so the governor could get jewelry. The governor's response and what other businesses think tonight on @krqe KRQE at 10pm. Jessica Garate on Twitter

Plump still doesn’t understand free speech or that his tweets wouldn’t be flagged if he didn’t constantly lie. Which stage of dictatorship is this and why does the RNC support it?
