How this is not a huge scandal is beyond me….

The White House Has Erected a Blockade Stopping States and Hospitals From Getting Coronavirus PPE πŸ”— πŸ“° πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ 🚫 😷 🦠

β€œOver the last few weeks, it has started to appear as though, in addition to abandoning the states to their own devices in a time of national emergency, the federal government has effectively erected a blockade β€” like that which the Union used to choke off the supply chains of the Confederacy during the Civil War β€” to prevent delivery of critical medical equipment to states desperately in need. At the very least, federal authorities have made governors and hospital executives all around the country operate in fear that shipments of necessary supplies will be seized along the way. In a time of pandemic, having evacuated federal responsibility, the White House is functionally waging a war against state leadership and the initiative of local hospitals to secure what they need to provide sufficient treatment.”
