After what happened in 2009, a federally backed task force recommended to the Obama administration that the nation’s supply be replenished with the 100 million masks used during the H1N1 outbreak. Charles Johnson, president of the International Safety Equipment Association said that the advice was ignored.

The reason we don’t have the respirator masks goes back to the Obama/Biden administration when they were advised to replenish the stockpile that had been used during the H1N1 swine flu pandemic. But it never happened, they never did it, according to the Washington Examiner.
You seem to have missed the major point. Trump and many on this forum were late to the party. I think you should own up to that rather than trying to spin things.
