Private stockpile of PPE being sold by SEIU to hospitals. Getting supply when it's so desperately needed. No mention in the article how the $5 per mask is about 4 times the retail price of a 20-pack of these masks and the union that is so proud of "protecting workers" is price gouging the hospitals.

This is accurate in a way... Fox News and other conservative propagandists have lied about this virus since day 1. They're still lying about Trump fumbling the response. So it's not surprising the media isn't trusted on this, because "the media" includes Fox News.


CNN said that Trump turned down test kits from WHO. A complete lie.

Others said that he refused to give out respirators. Another complete lie.

You have nothing, just own up to it.

1 000 000 000 masks

A billion protective masks have been ordered by France from China, informed this March 28 France Info citing the Directorate General of Health.
In order to route them to France, an air bridge will be set up between the two countries with 56 rotations. Air France confirmed its participation without giving further details.
As the source specifies, each flight will transfer 18.3 million masks, including more than 74 million FFP2. They are currently in China, in the cities of Shenzhen and Shanghai. In 48 hours, they will reach French soil.

You'll have to post sources.

The cult has ignored or minimized this issue from the start, while experts that Trump fired and journalists/media outlets were sounding the alarm bells at the beginning.

It's kind of sad. The cult's only comfort area is attacking their perceived enemies... even in a crisis they just fallback on it, instead of facing the hard truths.

Biden said the admin rejected the tests, CNN ran the story. Are you going to denounce literally fake news and lies or double down on the TDS?

The WHO never offered to sell test kits to the United States.

The CDC opted to develop its own coronavirus test and did not use the WHO’s protocol for the test.

Other developed countries with advanced research capabilities developed their own tests.

Trump was literally the first in the world to close borders. You have a delusional sense of what was possible in the circumstances.

Fact check: Biden claimed the US chose not to take coronavirus tests from WHO. He's right.


https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/2020-democratic-debate-live-updates/index.html

Never mind the fact that the WHO tests were for countries with underdeveloped testing capabilities. Instead Biden and trash-tier tabloid media spun this into us rejecting these tests when in reality most developed countries chose to develop their own instead of depleting a limited supply mostly designated for poor countries.
