The guts of this story. Company nakes several versions of ventilator. Hhs paid them to develop and deliver 10,000 low cost ventilators by decenber 2021.
The company has not started delivery, but continues to sell expensive ones to overseas customers.
This is somehow a scandal.
I suppose trump could order them to fill our 2021 contract before existing foriegn contracts. Then other countries would be screwed, and im sure trump would be blamed for deaths in those countries.
Or we could get a new manufacturer, which increases world supplies.
But that is seen as a corrupt thing somehow.
I mean september 2022.
The article says the deal was made 5 years ago...what, like 2015? If that's the case, why did the Obama Administration wait until 2015 to tackle this in light of the H1N1 virus devastation? And why did they give them from 2015 to 2022 to complete the order?
