Stuff like a few days ago where there were some construction N95 masks that the makers wanted to donate but couldn't. Seems construction masks are certified by one government agency while the same mask for medical use is certified by another agency.

I don't think the President has time to walk around stomping out little fires here and there.

He needs to put out to his department leaders that he wants this shit to stop. Get 'er done. The next minion that says no due only to bureaucracy is fired or the department head is.

Just my opinion of course.
Not just agency heads. I went through our hazmat room that had no inventory and came up with a list of everything in it. Suggested that a large quantity of excess PPE be dropped off at the local PD or university hospital to help out and we still would have a large number of gear to cover our needs. You would have thought I was offering to rob a bank. They almost had a cow. Not no but Hell no.

Now other than me they did not know this stock was even in the building.....

I was even lectured that I should have not gotten other employees involved with the inventory and organizing of the room as that violated The 6ft rule.

Boy are we screwed with indecisive people like this. I just walk around shaking my head each day.
