This is a job that is exactly what it sounds like it is. How does the veterans administration prepare in advance for a p******c response? How does it anticipate the supplies the hospitals will need in a worst case scenario?

There has been no disaster preparedness, the veterans administration is shopping for critically needed supplies on Amazon...

Here's a fact, the VA is supposed to be able to coordinate with the person in the trump administration that is the one that assesses emergency needs and coordinates for making resources available on a priority basis since it has to be anticipated that the system would be in dire need on an ever changing cycle of areas and states. This would have taken place starting in January, because this is what the people with these jobs do. Trump in response to his dismantling the p******c response team said that they weren't needed, they could be immediately brought back if they were. He has had weeks to put this expertise into place again and it is not there, those experts are on the sidelines pulling their hair out because they know what they would have been doing weeks ago and weren't seeing it being done.

We are now seeing that there was a lengthy and detailed report that outlined guidelines for this exact thing, and that outline specified coordination efforts that were to have taken place in January in response to a December threat potential.

Okay, so trump and his administration say the "old" guidelines were outdated and they were replaced with updated ones. Okay then, lets see these "better" guidelines and how well the administration adhered to them. Don't hold your breath, they don't exist, and I am sure the president will say they are classified due to executive privilege or wh**ever. Disaster preparedness guidelines are open to public scrutiny, and they are there to be seen so as to help people feel like the government is competently doing everything possible to make this go as well as humanly possible in this once great nation that used to have excellent disaster preparedness guidelines.

Now we have states competing for supplies and paying too much if they don't get outbid by the federal government, which is doing god knows what with in terms of cohesive and fair prioritization that the government should be providing like a well orchestrated machine to those with the most dire impending needs.

That disaster preparedness guideline that trump says was outdated is infinitely better than the imaginary new and better ones that are being implemented now at least eight weeks late. Well orchestrated disaster pr********ns happen weeks before they are needed, not when the crisis is on us and amplified by a failure to prepare. Emergency moves started during the last two weeks are not following any plan, they are crisis management, which never comes out as well as moves made well in advance.

Not right now, but we will be wanting to look into the sheer raw incompetence, there will be time for trump to prove he was even close to providing and degree of federal response in a timely manner.

I guess you think you have an airtight case. But I do know one FACT. During the first two weeks of January
the President was very busy defending himself from the c*******t who instigated an impeachment trial against him. Then when he was made aware of the W***n v***s he immediately closed America to Chinese emigration. AND GUESS WHAT? THE RATS JUST STARTED CALLING HIM R****T along with other two bit words. Then of course we know what every dirty trick they pulled just trying to stop any progress against finding a cure . But you know how close your buddies are to the Chinese C*******t and those low life crap
you call leaders. That dirty bunch of crap should be going to prison now.
