How was this set up to function? Who's fault is this? So how was this government help set up to work? Lookie here...documented! I just finished scanning the report and highlighted items in the introduction and summary. I made notes on some of the highlights. Take a look. ASPR was supposed to have monthly meetings to correct deficiencies. The paper is SO HEAVY on vaccine production and development and on international assistance instead of treatments and PPE. It says their models were well over stated in hindsight as to how bad it would be. More research is needed to find out why the didn't plan to have sufficient PPE on site in local hospitals with FEDs as backup. Anyway....it's all here below: https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/track?uri=urn%3Aaaid%3Ascds%3AUS%3Af14db419-c214-4d5e-ba21-79b1c70ff5f1 Further.... It is the responsibility of the bosses of each division of the government to petition THE CONGRESS to provide the appropriate funding. The President is not in the loop until the budget gets to his office. It is what did CONGRESS do or NOT DO? Who dropped the ball in all the agencies? AND FEMA is a relatively new federal SUPPORT system for unforeseeable catastrophes that are national. The State governments are supposed to have their own stockpiles. States like Massachusetts, especially with all their hospitals and Ivy League schools should have been over-prepared for this. I have a friend in Boston who thinks that the President is responsible for every decision from the purchase of copy paper and pens all the way up. Here is all you need to see this. Just read it here. https://www.phe.gov/Preparedness/mcm/h1n1-retrospective/Documents/h1n1-retrospective.pdf
