Wow, stockpile numbers that House Oversight and @RepMaloney have pried out of FEMA are damning for nation's capital: D.C. has received 1/2 of 1% of its requested N95s, and zero goggles, zero test kits and zero ventilators ... DC working to buy elsewhere. https://oversight.house.gov/news/press-releases/new-fema-documents-show-critical-shortages-of-medical-supplies

Maryland has received 26% of its requested N95s, and 70% of its requested ventilators. Note, Md. had also requested 15,000 body bags.

Virginia has received 7% of its requested N95s. It has requested zero ventilators.

Federal government gave D.C. a fraction of what it sought to fight coronavirus

Area officials express frustration as number of cases, deaths and unemployment claims spike.
