President Biden released his national strategy to end the COVID-19 pandemic Thursday, which will include using the Defense Production Act (DPA) and other powers to speed up the manufacturing of testing and vaccine supplies and other items needed to fight COVID-19.

The Trump administration had resisted calls to release a comprehensive plan to fight COVID-19, instead deferring significant authority to the states.
The plan released by the Biden administration Thursday aims to instill confidence in the U.S. pandemic response by accelerating the vaccine rollout, boosting testing and access to treatments and protecting those at most risk, including communities of color.

“For almost a year now, Americans could not look to the federal government for any strategy, let alone a comprehensive approach to respond to COVID,” said Jeff Zients, Biden’s COVID-19 response coordinator.
==============================================================
Trump: no plan to fight COVID - leave that up to states. No DPA for PPE. And what happened to Gen. Perna? At least Biden recognizes the need for a national strategy.

Trump talked manufacturers into increasing production of PPE and testing equipment. Too bad nobody listens to Biden and he has to use the DPA to force them to do it.

Or maybe Biden just PREFERS the heavy hand of government.

So he invokes something nobody knows when he plans to use. Wow.... Jump for joy

Invoking the DPA is a key part of the Biden administration’s national strategy for defeating the coronavirus, though officials did not say when it would be used.

Wait... he's not invoking it this week?
