So much winning. It's a shame he doesn't view this as golf, where low score wins.

Gov @GovPritzker confirms that the federal ‘Air Bridge’ flights from China, organized by the White House taskforce, are bringing PPE back from China which are then turned over to private companies. The states then have to bid against each other to purchase from those companies.

Five of them are McKesson Corp., Owens & Minor, Cardinal Health, Medline Industries and Henry Schein. They received an antitrust waiver on Saturday as I explain here.

Trump said the White House wasn't "a shipping clerk" The US government is quite literally shipping medical supplies to private companies Don't know who's buying, but the US does the shipping and hands supplies over to private companies instead of states

[ So the federal govt is buying big amounts of medical supplies, turning them over to private companies who then resell them to the highest bidder. ]

Not just ventilators, of course.

Ron Pinto

Someone, meaning, Trump/Pence/Kushner, are going to have to pay for this one day. They're purposely directing goods away from the States so companies may profit by States bidding against each other. This delay is killing Americans. There's blood on their hands.

Brumar, the thing about Korea is that competent leadership was never a given. Just three years ago, Korean leadership was embroiled in a scandal. Of course, scandals in Korean politics are a dime a dozen, but this one in particular was on a whole different level given how absolutely stupid and incompetent the leadership was in committing the scandals. This scandal led to the impeachment and removal of Korea's president at the time, Park Geun-hye. (I nicknamed her Geun-hye Rodham Park, because she became Korea's first woman president, and she got her rise in politics thanks to nepotism.) You can draw a lot of parallels between what happened to her and what Trump is doing right now, but there's a key difference. Park's opposition actually demonstrated some measure of competency. Trump's opposition can't even speak complete sentences, much less understand the way the American economy actually works. That's why people like you who suffer from TDS will ensure that we will never return to a level of competency in government. That's why people like me, who don't like Trump and thinks he should STFU, keep a measure of perspective here and don't let my feelings cloud my better judgment. Tenchusatsu
