Bolton apparently no fan of this administration and the guy who implemented it both on the record. What knowledgeable sources are on the record saying it degraded the capabilities?

America first baby!
The intelligence reports didn’t predict when the virus might land on U.S. shores or recommend particular steps that public health officials should take, issues outside the purview of the intelligence agencies."
Bolton was ultimately responsible, regardless. He basically had no choice but to defend the "move", which was really an eviction. Considering the heat coming down with CV-19, you know he wasn't going to blow it off as a cost-saving measure.
Bingo. He should have started making test kits. That's on Trump.
Outside of that, what exactly was his administration going to do? If he tried to quarantine the country in January in even a small capacity, the news media would have been ready to impeach him again.
So the projection is approx 27K ventilators needed at peak and yet there are 150K available in US. What is up with all the fear mongering about shortages by the media and pols?
Just curious did you look at the numbers for Tennessee?
It says Tennessee will need:
18,979 beds and the state has 7,812 a shortage of 11,167 beds
2,898 ICU beds and the state has 629 a shortage of 2,269 ICU beds.
The peak is predicted to hit Tennessee April 27th (that's 27 days from today)
With an estimated 192 deaths per day at the peak
It is predicting 4,985 deaths in Tennessee from COVID19 by August 4th 2020.
