Ok. This is not getting enough attention, and I definitely encourage all of you to read it + RT.

Hospitals are saying feds are seizing critical equipment.

"Are they stockpiling this stuff? Are they distributing it? We don’t know,” one official said. https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2020-04-07/hospitals-washington-seize-coronavirus-supplies">https://www.latimes.com/politics/...

THIS is a critical paragraph, and absolutely tracks with what we& #39;ve publicly seen of how the administration is treating the DPA, the stories of mask seizures from other countries, and Kushner& #39;s treatment of the strategic stockpile.

A few points on how to address this:

1. More reporters need to ask about it. ASAP. Multiple outlets have done a great job of covering the various issues around FEMA& #39;s actions/the strategic stockpile, but the more pressure, the better.

2. Electeds need to be made aware.

Make sure they& #39;re aware of this story - they might not necessarily be aware of what& #39;s not happening in their states, because the effort is so hyper-focused on flattening the curve specifically in the areas they represent at the moment.

3. Reiterate Schumer& #39;s call for -

- the WH to appoint a COVID czar. There needs to be one point person who knows HOW to focus on coordination and distribution, and it& #39;s obviously not going to be Peter Navarro or Jared Kushner.

4. House Transport needs to investigate.
