I wonder how many people who say various governments should have so many N95 masks, so many ventilators and so many hospital beds know what inventory holding costs are and how to calculate it?
If they pay the inventory holding costs, what are they prepared to give up. Economics is the science of scarcity. There are opportunity costs.

The link between unemployment and suicide World Economic Forum
Either going back to work by Easter is a choice.
Not going to work by Easter or after Easter is a choice.
Either choice has a death toll associated with it.
My going back to work has a Democrat Party Agenda attached to it.
You don't sacrifice your children to save your grandparents. It doesn't makes sense in terms life-years saved, the future, economics or anything.
Sleek Zeek Emmanuel argued for Obama Care on the basis of life years (you need to check his math, assumptions etc.). Why are some now not looking at life-years or QALY? Are we willing to sacrifice the younger generations for people over 60 with co-morbidities. We can selectively quarantine those over 60 with co-morbidities, save money and save those over 60.
Or we can crash the economy, because hyperinflation, riots, poverty and what not always lead to well nourished people.

Trump team failed to follow NSC’s pandemic playbook

The Trump administration, state officials and even individual hospital workers are now racing against each other to get the necessary masks, gloves and other safety equipment to fight coronavirus — a scramble that hospitals and doctors say has come too late and left them at risk. But according to a previously unrevealed White House playbook, the government should’ve begun a federal-wide effort to procure that personal protective equipment at least two months ago.
“Is there sufficient personal protective equipment for healthcare workers who are providing medical care?” the playbook instructs its readers, as one early decision that officials should address when facing a potential pandemic. “If YES: What are the triggers to signal exhaustion of supplies? Are additional supplies available? If NO: Should the Strategic National Stockpile release PPE to states?”
The strategies are among hundreds of tactics and key policy decisions laid out in a 69-page National Security Council playbook on fighting pandemics, which POLITICO is detailing for the first time. Other recommendations include that the government move swiftly to fully detect potential outbreaks, secure supplemental funding and consider invoking the Defense Production Act — all steps in which the Trump administration lagged behind the timeline laid out in the playbook.
“Each section of this playbook includes specific questions that should be asked and decisions that should be made at multiple levels” within the national security apparatus, the playbook urges, repeatedly advising officials to question the numbers on viral spread, ensure appropriate diagnostic capacity and check on the U.S. stockpile of emergency resources.
The playbook where dear old Obama forgot to restock the shelves with N95 masks for 6 years?
That playbook?
