With a larger budget, they could have done both. And why was their budget so limited?
- Rebelgecko 7y agoProbably in part due to the 2012 sequester
- mirimir 7y agoMore generally, the Budget Control Act of 2011.
- tzfld 7y agoHow much of a budget would you need to stockpile like 10 million masks? I don't think it is a cost problem.
- mirimir 7y agoNo, it's not a cost issue. But I suspect that it was a consequence of meeting fixed cost reduction targets, and being something where cutting had no immediate impact.
