    Whitmer, a Democrat, said in an interview on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer" that her state's shipments of personal protective equipment are being "canceled" or "delayed."
    "Well, we've entered into a number of contracts, and as we get closer to the date when shipments are supposed to come in, they are getting canceled -- getting delayed," Whitmer told Blitzer.
    Whitmer said her state was notified that shipments of protective equipment such as face masks are going "first to the federal government" ahead of the states.



    "I know Michigan is not alone. I saw Gov. Charlie Baker, Republican from Massachusetts, essentially say the same thing. Same thing with Mayor Garcetti out in Los Angeles. This is an issue we are confronting as a nation, where we are bidding against one another, where we are struggling to grab every PPE (personal protective equipment) we can get our hands on," she added.

    I wouldn't say that! There must be a clearing house to allot limited resources based on need.

    Does Michigan need masks or ventilators as bad as New Your right this minute? NY 46,000 cases and rising, Mich. 3,600 slowly rising.

    That is just common sense.

    We can't find paper towels, TP, tissues because they are being horded. Same with emergency equipment states horde and the ones in bad need can't get them. Hence the need for a clearing house.

    Oh good. Some of the ppl in my zen class were saying yesterday how broke they are, and how many restaurants just shut down (where they worked PT) because to-go orders weren't enough to keep them afloat. So many of our wonderful little restaurants here are family-owned, and in the downtown area where curbside pick-up is not very workable. Plus ppl go out to eat as much for the ambiance as they do for the food. I hope the small business loans, grants, and personal stimulus checks help them all.

    Meanwhile, the mask-making continues apace.

    Exactly. And the need for a central (but temporary) authority to oversee the distribution of what equipment is available, with no preference other than greatest need.

    Not always true. I am the only one that likes SOS so to cook it for one is silly plus the Stouffers has the chipped beef in it also.

    Why do these people have to make everything political? This in a national emergency wouldn't it be nice if they would turn off the partisan rhetoric? There will be ample time to bitch when this is over.

    1. Article is four days old, and 2. "Respirators" as used in this article = N95 rebreather masks, not ventilators which are in critically-short supply. In addition, much inventoried equipment appears to have gone missing:

    "Hundreds of thousands of masks went missing from federal shipments containing the equipment to Michigan as the state continues to battle the rising number of COVID-19 cases, state officials said.

    "State officials told The Detroit News Wednesday that they were 225,000 surgical masks short of what the federal government said it sent from the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS). "

    Just another example of government ineptitude. Brownie's doing a fine job. lol
