PANIC | SPRING 2020
When the virus swarmed our shorelines in the spring of 2020, itdevastated supply chainsforcing our country into a panic to find supplies, especiallynitrile glovesto protect their employees and patients from infection. Supply chain breakdowns and profiteering created crippling delays, price gouging and inferior products put Americans at risk. Those who were able to secure PPE paid a heavy price for the privilege. By April 2020, the cost of PPE had spiked more than 1,000%. With no domestic manufacturing, we relied on a foreign supply chain to protect personal safety.
LEGISLATION
To address the problem, the Biden administration, moved aggressively to re-shore domestic production. This occurred through legislation that extended the Berry Amendment to PPE, as well as the bi-partisan "Make PPE in America Act" signed into law by President Biden as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
NEVER FORGET
Folks, there will be future pandemics.... remember all the PPE shortages and front-line unpreparednesswe endured. While legislation helps somewhat, a change in mindset is desperately needed. Why you ask? Reports claim that domestic PPE buyers are reverting back to a “cheapest overseas supplier” mentality and this can leave the U.S. being stuck in the same position as the spring of 2020.
The pandemic lessons must be remembered, because cheap overseas PPE supplies is what got the U.S. in trouble to start with. Cheap PPE can also quickly become crippling from a cost perspective if buyers incur exorbitant shipping costs, delays or inferior product issues.
