NEW: The federal government may not have the capacity to supply medical professionals with personal protective equipment amid the latest surge in coronavirus cases, according to internal administration documents obtained by NBCNews.
Still, after months of Trump playing down the public health risk of the disease, and proclaiming the federal response a shining success, the administration's internal data suggest the federal government's ability to help meet any major surge in demand is limited.
Between FEMA and the national stockpile, there are 329,000 pairs of goggles on hand, and the administration has only been able to provide 29 percent of the 4.9 million requested by state and local governments so far, according to the tables. Similarly, 8.5 million gowns are warehoused — the HHS Department did not break down how many are surgical and how many are non-surgical — while only 5.2 million of the 17.9 million surgical gowns requested have been shipped out.
The Department of Homeland Security reported in one of its regular updates that more than one quarter of U.S. states have less than a 30-day supply of personal protective equipment on hand, according to another document created by the HHS Department for task force officials..
Polowczyk said he now has visibility into the entire medical supply chain and he's not seeing problems at major hospital systems. "We’re getting hospital-level information and they are required to report, from the CARES Act, specific hospital things like ICU beds, ICU bed usage, COVID patients, days of supply on hand," he said.
