What's True
The U.S. federal stockpile of N95 protective face masks was largely depleted during the 2009 swine flu outbreak and was not restocked.
What's False
However, the Obama administration was not solely responsible for the current shortage of masks. In the intervening years, the stockpile went unreplenished as the Trump administration failed to heed indications that dramatic shortages could occur.

(82,849 posts)2. Are they conceding that medical grade face masks are a good thing now?
Are they turning their backs on the emperor Trump's hunch that PPE isn't as necessary as all those egghead doctors claim it is? Apostasy!
