Kushner coronavirus effort said to be hampered by inexperienced volunteers
Source: MSN
The coronavirus response being spearheaded by President Trumps son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has relied in part on volunteers from consulting and private equity firms with little expertise in the tasks they were assigned, exacerbating chronic problems in obtaining supplies for hospitals and other needs, according to numerous government officials and a volunteer involved in the effort.
About two dozen employees from Boston Consulting Group, Insight, McKinsey and other firms have volunteered their time some on paid vacation leave from their jobs and others without pay to aid the Trump administrations response to the coronavirus pandemic, according to administration officials and others familiar with the arrangement.
Although some of the volunteers have relevant backgrounds and experience, many others were poorly matched with their assigned jobs, including those given the task of securing personal protective equipment (PPE) for hospitals nationwide, according to a complaint filed last month with the House Oversight Committee.
The volunteer team played a significant role in helping the government vet leads and send the results to a procurement team at the Federal Emergency Management Agency, where government officials made final decisions about purchases and procurements, two senior administration officials said. The teams problems underscore a broader pattern of missteps and missed opportunities that has plagued the Trump administration as it struggles to cope with the pandemic.

Of course, the biggest inexperienced participant is Kushner himself who has no business playing any role in the Federal Government.
As a result of Trump's nepotism and incompetence, hundreds of thousands of healthcare workers are lacking access to PPE.

I heard Kushner's group was like a bunch of rich frat boys sitting around pretending they were smart, when in fact daddy's money bought their slot in school.

Dead victims do not cost Jared/Donald directly.

When wealth is your GOD, your Master, there is no room for any other GOD.
You cannot have two masters.
Go home to IvanKKKa and forget it Jared. Your days are numbered in the White House, a place your have no business being near.

Even if we put aside that Kushner's involvement is some obvious grift opportunity, the very fact that these issues weren't simply taken up by the relevant agencies is itself a massive failure of vision and execution.
