Do you know what became glaringly obvious about this p******c? Trump said we have not had any review or revisions to our emergency p******c measures in 50 to 60 years. How is that possible when the people we elect are elected to protect our country and its citizens. How do we go through different p******c situations year after year and not restock a stockpile obviously needed every time we get hit. It’s not like we haven’t gone through this enough times and should be experienced enough to know what is necessary!
From federal government to our state government representatives no one, thinks or thought about replenishing supplies or emergency equipment or even the simple necessity of masks? Didn’t know what we had? Why the hell not? Why do we wait until its here to be running like chickens with our heads cut off to by the necessary equipment we should already have stockpiled and already have available. That is the horrific error of our elected officials. Yes the federal was wrong and so are the state representatives wrong, dead wrong as a matter fact...
While I am not blaming Obama, let’s use his p******c as a perfect example in having to run around scurrying around as he had to Do, only to then leave our stock pile completely depleted. Is it not common sense to understand the absolute necessity in the emergency tools needed to include an updated worldwide p******c agreement? If nothing else I was extremely pleased to hear Trump say that will be corrected!!!
And I’m not talking about UN agreement who has their own agenda or the WHO, tied to the UN with their own agreement and agenda. Countries actually speak with each other anymore and we should take it upon ourselves to open dialogue with every single country so we can get an agreement between us and what will be done in the event of another p******c situation. Politics be damned let’s do what’s right for a change and keep the friggin politicians out of it.

First review

Second review
October 2019: The Trump administration concludes a months-long simulation, code-named “Crimson Contagion,” designed to respond to a global influenza p******c. The Department of Health and Human Services determines that the U.S. is underprepared, underfunded, and under-coordinated to fight an influenza-like p******c.
Could be considered a third review

As to supplies

While the government does not publicize all of the contents of the repository, at the time Trump took office, the Strategic National Stockpile, as it is formally known, reportedly contained vast amounts of materials that state and local health officials could use during an emergency, including v*****es, antiv***l drugs, ventilators and protective gear for doctors and nurses.
“The SNS was definitely not an empty shell,” Dr. Tara O’Toole, a former homeland security official during the Obama administration who is now the executive vice president at the nonprofit strategic investment firm In-Q-Tel, told us in an email.
