It didn’t take long for some of the PPE idiocy to turn up. Jared Kuntner had a group of volunteer college kids with no disaster or pandemic response management experience working on it. Reminds me of the SEI&V group at Locmar. Few others in the current administration appear even remotely qualified for their jobs, so I guess that is par for the course.
Regardless, It’s not a huge leap to lay the lion’s share of the PPE debacle blame squarely at the doorstep of the healthcare industry. Previously inexpensive equipment made from paper and plastic, yet critical in managing contagious outbreaks, is suddenly found in short supply – why? Allow me to offer a few relevant buzzwords:
BEANCOUNTERS CHINA LABOR COST PROFIT, etc. The healthcare industry in this country has been in the crapper for a long time. It just took a raging pandemic to expose their priorities. The mutherfuckers here in Denver call it a “timing” issue, they are now profusely apologizing for. Fire the lot of those cocksuckers, starting with that greedy bitch below. The “health” category on this site details a number of VA healthcare issues if you are curious to see exactly what they did to me, personally. Current summary here. Yeah, I have an ax to grind.
HMO’s, hospitals and the insurance companies they are in cahoots with dropped the ball big time. It’s been laying on the ground for years waiting for something like a PPE shortage to develop, while the bean counters pocket pennies and patient costs rise, right along with the now skyrocketing cost for the most mundane, basic medical equipment.
