There is UNLIMITED money available to the government to fight this pandemic. The Fed simply prints the money, as they have, in the trillions of dollars since it began. Money is not the issue. The government has not made masks a priority. Biden won't do much better - I suspect he's pretty inept.
Production isn't the issue either - if you wave enough money in front of the private sector, they will do anything.
Prez simply makes a statement - every person will have N95 masks available to them - and we're going to do whatever we need to do to make that happen. It's better politically to guarantee everyone a $1200 check. This pandemic reveals the weaknesses in our systems.
