    Fact check: Did the Obama administration deplete the federal stockpile of N95 masks?

    We rate this claim TRUE because it is supported by our research. There is no indication that the Obama administration took significant steps to replenish the supply of N95 masks in the Strategic National Stockpile after it was depleted from repeated crises. Calls for action came from experts at the time concerned for the country’s ability to respond to future serious pandemics. Such recommendations were, for whatever reason, not heeded.

    The article also points out that the Trump administration didn't do anything either.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Let's see how well that graphic ages over the next few years.

          The best we can hope for is to mitigate the death toll so much that Dunning-Krueger dipshit naysayers will claim they were right all along about it being no big deal.

            No matter what, the naysayers will say that it wasn’t that bad.

            No matter what, the doom sayers will say “See? It was horrible and was almost much worse.”

            And both will have good arguments to support their case.

              Pretty sure the story of the surviving family members will carry the most weight.

              Please love yourself.

                Then it will be the naysayers.

                  Of course entry into the pandemic Hall-of-Fame is controlled by the total death count.

                  But this one is special, because of the reaction and the widespread attempt to manage it.

                  I don't think the effect of that reaction will be fully realized during our lifetimes.

                    It would have been one hell of a lot worse otherwise.
