Private industry could have been directed weeks ago to manufacture all necessary medical equipment. Doctors, even governors were begging for it. Those responsible for the withhold of resources have betrayed this nation. This problem is not complicated. It is horrifyingly simple.

Delaying the activation of the Defense Production Act was a blatant act of negligence. Doing the right thing is not complicated... It’s comparable to running for a garden hose to put a house fire out... while meanwhile the fire truck is sitting curbside. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Our Nation should be prepared for the worst case scenarios. We possibly were, but not at this point in time. I hate when you take a overall look, it all seems do nefarious.

It is simply a matter of Political Will. After months of economic and political leaders shaming the concept of #MedicareForAll -- they pulled massive amounts of $ out of no where. $ is obviously not the issue. Its about who our politicians serve. Answer? Big Corporations

#Trump should Utilize Defense Production act. @NYGovCuomo needs 30.000 Ventilators. That's not difficult. Also produce masks, gowns.
I have a friend who works for a health system that has been talking about this & planning for it as best as possible since Jan. It is unconscionable that our gov't didn't do the same back then, AND that it has remained so passive, unresponsive & indifferent even this month.

The fact that these companies dont just do it themselves without being asked is also horrifying!

You're right. This problem could have been solved easily.
