Haven't visited in a while. Glad to see this thread stayed non-political.

From my understanding, they can also disburse funds for starting up operations but it doesn't give them the authority to force a company to make something that is currently something they don't make. For example, if Purell only makes hand sanitizer in Malaysia and has no facilities here, they can't force Purell to make it here without additional incentives. My understanding is admittedly limited however. Also, while making drugs here would be a good thing, the government can only prioritize drugs related to the immediate crisis of course. Wholesale manufacturing of drugs in the US would be a sweeping change largely covered outside of the DPA. It would have been nice if the government would have been incentivizing companies for the past 2 decades to not move all their operations overseas, but that ship has sailed, pardon the pun. Despite the gravity of the COVD situation, it's still a relatively "mild" crisis and here we are. Imagine what things would be like if it were more lethal or if were in some kind of war? So yes, you're absolutely right. This needs to get fixed, both in the short-term and the long. |

For being the greatest nation in the world it’s some ignorant shit that we aren’t turning out massive amounts of ppe .politics should be left in the ditch along the road.

Hopefully though we learn from this situation and don't get caught with our pants down next time. |

I would assume that will change but this is something that would literally take years to accomplish.

But yes, it is a bit odd. I wonder what his results would be if he had gotten a PCR test? |
