Yes, there is. It doesn't make sense to stockpile equipment you'll need once in a generation-- if that-- any more than food. Even ventilators degrade over time, and medical equipment is quickly made obsolete by more sophisticated successors.

bananas perspective. Just insane.

Just imagine anyone after this corona virus dies down using your logic...guess what they are going to do after this is over?

Stockpile.

I never would have predicted Newsom would have kicked ass like he has

If he continues the way he has he will undoubtedly go down as a GOAT governor

I don’t live there anymore but I watched his announcement about closing the park parking-lots. You could tell he was about to crack and let out a “listen here you little shits!” I voted for Cox but it sounds like Newsom has been handling this well.

Perhaps you rely on Fox News and that's fine.

Thanks for stating a point rather than just posting a video. So you blame NYC Mayor? That's the only reason the virus has been so successful in the US? It's De Blasio's fault and you learned this on Fox News. Am I understanding your position now?

I think that says more about how observant you are than about how prominent they are. I think every one of them has been here longer than you, and one was even here when Bush was still president.

Perhaps "Whoops, guess I was wrong! It seems some people here do think the WHO is in the pocket of the Chinese" is the right response?

Where did I say they didn't? I just asked you to show that argument being made instead of just claiming it without a source.

Lets not forget that Saudi's are a major sponsor of the WHO.

They are sitting on multi-trillion dollars and the WHO bends at their will many times due to the giant place they have in the energy space. The Saudi King has a real good relationship with President Trump has many times used their connections to manipulate the WHO. When the situation in the US really ticked up Saudi Prince had an emergency meeting with WHO health boss and after that meeting.

"World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus also urged G20 nations to offer support to "low and middle income countries", including those from Sub-Saharan Africa.

Leaders of the G20 major economies will hold an online summit Thursday in a bid to fend off a coronavirus-triggered recession, after criticism the group has been slow to address the crisis.

US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will join the emergency videoconference chaired by Saudi Arabia's King Salman, who is also under pressure to end an oil price war with Moscow that has roiled energy markets.

The talks come as the global death toll from COVID-19 soared close to 21,000 and over 3 billion people were locked down in their homes.

"As the world confronts the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges to healthcare systems and the global economy, we convene this extraordinary G20 summit to unite efforts towards a global response," the king of Saudi Arabia, which currently holds the G20 presidency, said on Twitter.

The meeting, expected to be held at 1200 GMT, comes as the world's 20 most industrialized countries scramble to defend their virus-wracked economies amid forecasts they will likely plunge into recession this year.

On Wednesday, the financial ratings agency Moody's estimated the G20's overall gross domestic product would contract by 0.5 percent, with the US economy shrinking by 2 percent and the eurozone by 2.2 percent.

While wealthy nations including the US have unveiled mammoth stimulus packages, there has so far been no collective action plan from the G20, and concerns are mounting for poorer countries without access to capital markets and adequate health facilities."

Seven months into his tenure, the early moves of the WHO's first African chief are stoking a backlash.

His supporters say Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus promised to shake the institution up. The critics, increasingly emboldened, say he's undermining the World Health Organization's effectiveness and putting its funding at risk.


The former Ethiopian health minister turned heads with his appointment of Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe as a goodwill ambassador in October. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Tedros — as he prefers to be called by Ethiopian tradition — was eschewing the normal hiring process for U.N. agencies, looking to increase gender and geographical diversity as quickly as possible. That's unsettled some in the Geneva headquarters and the constellation of activists and researchers who work with WHO, who fear an overly political approach is bringing a culture change at the cost of credibility.

The latest disruptive move is his appointment of a little-known Russian official to run the WHO’s tuberculosis program, using a fast-track process, one month after meeting with President Vladimir Putin at a major gathering on the topic in Moscow.

The Mugabe appointment “was stupid, but this is a disaster,” said Mark Harrington, executive director of Treatment Action Group. Ahead of the appointment, TAG led an open letter from more than 40 civil society groups asking Tedros to use a transparent, competitive process to choose the next director of the Global TB Program, tasked with fighting the top infectious killer worldwide.

Reward for being retrograde
The December nomination of Tereza Kasaeva (an official at the Russian health ministry) prompted an editorial in the medical journal the Lancet, which described it as triggering a “potentially disabling controversy.”"

That's a lot of work just to spitefully refuse to give President Trump any credit.

It must be exhausting to hate someone that much.

And what can you do with stockpiles? Oh yes, spend money and update the inventories as time goes by. Crazy, you seem to think there's no reason for them, since appalling shortages are normal and acceptable to you.

This virus literally defies the concept of "normal" in every sense.

It doesn't make sense to devote that many resources to equipment that will dilapidate without utility, or be used only once. From a cost-benefit perspective with respect to what's in the best interest of the public writ large that's a terrible strategy.

These are the same people who think giving up the right to bear arms is worth it if it saves 'just one life.'

Cost-benefit isn't their strong suit.

Dramatic overreactions and hysteria are more in their wheel house.

I wonder what literally every civilization that kept stockpiles of needed supplies would think of your position. I'm thinking of a Roman governor eschewing the need for grain silos because grain doesn't last forever.

It's like the very idea of disaster preparedness is lost upon you entirely. You're the same guys arguing for the USA's shitty healthcare system, speaking of cost and benefit in an analysis, LOL.

Ventilator tech advances so much every five years that we rotate out inventory that often. They are typically 30000 each. So you plan is that the government should rotate out 50000 vents every five years to the landfill? Solid plan. You should run for office On that.

Yes. Let's ask the doomsday preppers.
 
Why are people bitching at Trump for extending quarantine for another 30 days, when they were bitching at him for trying to open too early by Easter?

Oh, so we've gone from "I DEMAND SOURCE!" to "I never meant to imply that I didn't believe you didn't have a source"... I think we're done here ;)
