Obama Test Kit Regulation: The ability to test for the Coronavirus was impeded by an Obama regulation that stated states could not run medical tests unless pre-approved by the FDA. President Trump rescinded this rule to help combat the Coronavirus, which helped the U.S. to test more people than any other country (Daily Caller). De Blasio Sells Ventilators: In 2015, New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio (D) auctioned off hundreds of ventilators that were in a mask and ventilator stockpile started by former Mayor Michael Bloomberg in 2006, as a result of President Bush initiating the first-ever comprehensive pandemic strategy in 2005. De Blasio cited costs as the reason, however, in the meantime, the wife of De Blasio spent $900 million on a ThriveNYC mental health initiative, showing no results. New York City spending also skyrocketed 26.4% from $72.8 billion to $92 billion under De Blasio’s tenure that began in 2014. On a further note, both De Blasio and Bloomberg ran for President in 2020 (ProPublica). President Obama Never Restored Mask Stockpile: During the H1N1 (Swine Flu) outbreak in 2009, the Obama administration depleted the national stockpile of medical N-95 masks, using ¾ of the stockpile. This created a 2-3 year backlog for the N-95 respirator mask. The Obama administration never replenished the national stockpile despite calls from a medical safety equipment task force (U.S.A. Today). Cuomo's Negligence: Governor Andrew Cuomo who has received praise from the mainstream media for his handling of the Coronavirus now has a major question to answer for. His administration issued a directive to nursing homes and rehab facilities with elderly people that they must admit patients with Coronavirus and keep nursing home patients with the Coronavirus in the same nursing home as non-COVID 19 patients. This has lead to nearly 3,500 deaths, 25% of New York’s Coronavirus deaths (Newsday). In the meantime, the UNS Comfort that Governor Cuomo plead for had nearly 1,000 extra beds, but Cuomo blocked Coronavirus patients from going to the UNS Comfort, instead they stayed infecting nursing homes. Moreover, Governor Cuomo stated, “its not our job to give nursing homes PPE (masks and gloves)” As Cuomo is busy forcing everyone to wear masks he hadn’t even secured nursing homes with elderly Americans– the most vulnerable to the virus.
