NBC News: “The composite sketch drawn from interviews NBC conducted in recent days with more than a dozen individuals involved in various aspects of the crisis reveals a fight for mortal and economic survival in which men and women, states and cities, and hospitals and businesses of all kinds have been left without sufficient support, even at a time when Congress and the Federal Reserve are pumping cash into the system and many businesses who want to provide assistance have found they can’t connect with federal agencies.”
“Many of those who spoke to NBC did so on the condition of anonymity to avoid angering the president… But taken together, their stories reveal that ill preparation for the pandemic has been compounded both by policies that have been implemented and by the Trump administration’s inability to coordinate the distribution of health care assets — from ventilators, masks and gloves to available doctors — and the effort to backstop an economy suddenly thrust into reverse.”
