To link - How Kushner’s Volunteer Force Led a Fumbling Hunt for Medical Supplies
"IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE PANDEMIC, THE U.S. GOVERNMENT TURNED DOWN AN OFFER TO MANUFACTURE MILLIONS OF N95 MASKS IN AMERICA"
Michael Bowen's medical supply company, Prestige Ameritechnd obviously shared some parallel problems with Dr. Jeffrey Hendricks, and though Kushner's group wasn't mentioned in yours could have shared more.
[...]
As the federal government’s warehouses were running bare and medical workers improvised their own safety gear, Dr. Hendricks found his offer stalled. Many of the volunteers were told to prioritize tips from political allies and associates of President Trump, tracked on a spreadsheet called “V.I.P. Update,” according to documents and emails obtained by The New York Times. Among them were leads from Republican members of Congress, the Trump youth activist Charlie Kirk .. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/19/us/politics/charlie-kirk-conservatives-coronavirus.html .. and a former “Apprentice” contestant who serves as the campaign chair of Women for Trump.
[...]
When Tana Goertz, the former “Apprentice” contestant who now runs Women For Trump, wrote in with a lead for N95 masks, it circulated among top Trump appointees at three federal agencies — including Mr. Trump’s top public health preparedness official, Robert Kadlec. Ms. Goertz did not reply to messages seeking comment.
In contrast, Dr. Hendricks’s messages sometimes went unanswered and were passed from person to person, even though he provided the codes and filled out the forms the government required, and sent a picture of the masks to Ms. Baitel to prove that they were real.
Weeks after the volunteers left in early April, and his tip had been passed to a Defense Department employee, Dr. Hendricks finally saw a sign of progress: notification of a possible site visit in China. “After five weeks of somewhat frustrating efforts, I’m finally hopeful,” he said.

Trump’s cascading coronavirus failures laid out in devastating timeline
[...]
In 2018, he let the pandemic-preparedness office in the National Security Council simply dissolve, and followed up with budget cuts to HHS and CDC this year. That team’s job was to follow a pandemic playbook written after global leaders fumbled their response to Ebola in 2014.
P - Trump was briefed on the playbook’s existence in his first year – had he listened, the government would’ve started getting equipment to doctors two months ago.
P - The initial outbreak of the coronavirus began in Wuhan, China, in December, 2019. By mid-January, 2020, the White House had intelligence reports that warned of a likely pandemic.
P - On January 18th, HHS Secretary Azar spoke with Trump to emphasize the threat of the virus just as US Diplomats were being evacuated from Wuhan.
P - Two days later, the virus was confirmed in both the US and South Korea. That week, South Korean officials immediately drafted medical companies to develop test kits for mass production. The WHO declared a global health emergency. But Trump … did nothing.
