This topic really hasn't been highlighted enough. G W Bush's administration, as part of their homeland security planning, studied what was needed to prepare for a flu-like pandemic. One critical item identified was the need for a national stockpile of respirator masks and other PPE which could be distributed on short notice. Bush created this stockpile in 2006, placing over 100 million N95 masks in it. This was a prescient decision by Bush....they were needed just 3 years later when the H1N1 pandemic hit our country.
Obozo happily distributed 75% of the N95 masks out of the stockpile Bush created....but never bothered to replenish the supply afterward.
awwww ha....two
