“The supplies that governors are looking for are the same supplies that every other country in the world is looking for, so this is a global problem,” FEMA Administrator Pete Gaynor tells MarthaRaddatz on shortage of health care supplies amid COVID-19.
March 22, 2020, 1:02 PMCatch up on the developing stories making headlines., but Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Peter Gaynor said on ABC's"This Week," that masks are in the midst of shipping from the national stockpile, but could not provide details on a concrete timeline."When you say 'they,' how many? Which masks? The new masks?" Co-Anchor Martha Raddatz pressed.
"I mean, it is hundreds of thousands of millions of things that we're shipping from the stockpile. I can't give you the details about what every single state of what every single city is doing," Gaynor said."but I'm telling you that we are shipping from our national stockpile, we're shipping from vendors, we're shipping from donations. It is happening. The demand is great.
Raddatz pushed Gaynor further on the question as the need looms from coast to coast: would health care systems become overwhelmed before masks arrive? "We are shipping. All those supplies, to all the demands, all the asks, all the governance, every day, we are -- we're prepared to go to zero in the stockpile to meet demand," Gaynor said.
