The Trump administration, state officials and even individual hospital workers are now racing against each other to get the necessary masks, gloves and other safety equipment to fight coronavirus — a scramble that hospitals and doctors say has come too late and left them at risk. But according to a previously unrevealed White House playbook, the government should’ve begun a federal-wide effort to procure that personal protective equipment at least two months ago.

I don't believe anything Politico say. Credibility completely gone. Not sure where the lie is but sure it is to be found.

Deliberate hit piece. Could this become the next impeachment hoax?

FTA - National Security Council playbook on fighting pandemics, which POLITICO is detailing for the first time.
This just reeks of sanctimonious BS.

The NSC ? The group that believes only they know how to run a country? That group where the impeachment " witnesses" against Trump came from?

According to the Playbook - the States - including New York State - were supposed to stockpile ventilators, masks, gowns, etc.
They did not do that. I wonder what they spent those Federal grants on instead of public health materials?

Let’s pause now for a word from the deep state traitors. Thanks Politico, there is not enough fake news but we know you have bushels of it.

Crud. Now we can have Shifty back in his secret SCIF plotting Impeachment #2 for not doing what the NSC wants again.
When did I vote for NSC? I know I vote for President, Senators, and Congressman. But I didn't see NSC on the last ballot I cast.

You can always tell what the dems did.
They blame the exact same thing on our President.

Two months ago the WHO and China were still telling the world there was no human to human transmission and as long as you were not chowing down on bat soup getting this thing was nearly impossible. The author of this article is a douche.

Government studies are a dime a dozen. You go to war with the army you've got; you fight a pandemic with the bureaucracies you've got. The real issue is strategic surprise. By any measure, Trump was ahead of the game by shutting down China flights. Democrats will pick and choose "facts" from what was nothing but bureaucratic noise that they themselves ignored.

I would hope they did not follow a spy agencies play book for dealing with a medical crisis! I do not want spy agencies in charge of planning anything other than how to acquire information.

No matter what - Trump ALWAYS "did it wrong", according to the Enemedia.
The lying has been continuous, now they are turning up the volume.

This appears to be an Obama-era 'playbook.' Was it similar quality to the obamacare playbook? Obama was advised to replenish the 100 million N95 respirator masks used in the 2009 swine flu epidemic that killed over 12,000 people. He didn't do it.

And the NSC pukes freaked out and caused a fake impeachment when Trump didn't follow their playbook on Ukraine, too. They are ADVISORS - he is the President. He can take their advice or not.

Last year's Super bowl winners failed to follow the losers' playbook. Whoever both the winners and losers were.

When a war starts, and this is certainly a pandemic war, the best laid plans are the first that go down the tubes. You have to remember back on any past date certain, the White House team only knew what they knew at the time and not what would be subsequently known weeks in the future.
If you have been watching President Trump since he was elected, the last thing Trump wanted to happen is for a Chinese corona virus to sneak into the USA through “open borders” inside the bodies of up to 3,000 Chinese a week who were flying direct from China to the USA, spread to Americans making them sick, and doing a hatchet job on the US economy.

Obama never restocked emergency supply after swine flu

Well, gee, Politico. Maybe if you and your leftist pals in the House hadn’t been interfering with PDT and his administration via the impeachment idiocy for weeks on end, he might have had more time to deal with this kind of thing. But, no. You just had to impeach him and then you just had to call him a racist for closing our border to the Chinese.
Now shut up and drop dead.

Aren't the hospitals supposed to order these supplies? Why is the federal government, that is charged to protect our borders and control our currency given the responsibility to run for profit hospitals?

The state governments should include them self in the blame game. Have you noticed republican governors never complain, they try to fix the problems. The democrat governors want the feds to fix their Big $$$$$ problems they had prior to the virus. Doesn't NBC own Politico?
