Flashback to Easter Season 2020 Can't help but
Post# of 13167
Can't help but remember that Easter and Lent season of 2020. When 99.9% of our country was doing everything possible to try and save lives. No family gatherings for Easter dinner. Mask and social distancing mandates were going into effect at a fast rate. Seems like yesterday.

As of March 12, 2020, 1,645 people from 47 States have been infected with the virus that causes COVID-19. It is incumbent on hospitals and medical facilities throughout the country to assess their preparedness posture and be prepared to surge capacity and capability. Additional measures, however, are needed to successfully contain and combat the virus in the United States
Trump's DPA was put into place.

And on March 23, 2020, I issued Executive Order 13910 (Preventing Hoarding of Health and Medical Resources to Respond to the Spread of COVID-19), in which I delegated to the Secretary of Health and Human Services the authority under section 102 of the Act to combat hoarding and price gouging with respect to such resources.
To ensure that our healthcare systems are able to surge capacity and capability to respond to the spread of COVID-19, it is the policy of the United States to expand domestic production of health and medical resources needed to respond to the spread of COVID-19, including personal protective equipment and ventilators.
in my humble opinion
