The leader was a truly inferior person. Things did not work out well of the public at large because of the widespread corruption and mean-spiritedness. Even those who enabled him were significantly disappointed and felt deplorable for doing so.

opportunity cost disaster

Opportunity cost disater or OCD is when the opportunity cost of the strategy that is choosen is greater in extent than a certified disaster would be. In many cased net loss of opportunity is huge, way beyond what occurs in a normal disaster.

Even when things are great and everyone is happy with the chosen alternative like some people are with urban sprawl, the lost opportunity of the strategy can be so large that it equals or surpassses a legally defined disaster or disaster area.
The Iraq war is an opportunity cost disaster. There are a lot of bad ideas out there but these guys put a lot of thought into making it this bad. I can't think of much worse of an alternative, but I am sure they will, as it is getting worse all the time.

Some people living in this urban sprawl think they are in paradise but this is a total opportunity cost disaster. A hurricane wipes out the crops but sprawl eventually wipes out the farm houses and crop land, covers the best soil, eliminates the ecology and native plants and animals, and put's it in a tomb of concrete and asphalt. You can everywhere but it will cost 10 dollars in gas there is no there there.

Self Lynching

An unbelievable projected image of self-martyrdom by someone clinging to their position of power. A person who is being hounded by a pack of whistleblowers, and who desperately needs to elicit sympathy from their fanatical, conspiracy believing, racist supporters who need a shred of evidence to activate their support.
All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here - a Self Lynching.

PPE can be used to protect the user from all types of hazards and public health safety issue, including pandemics. The PPE is sometimes mandated by OSHA, with strict compliance standards. Certain consumer products specify which PPE is recommended when using the product. PPE equipment also are tested and certified to assure they meet the industrial standards for use. PPE equipment can include all types of clothing including special shoes, pants, belts, masks, clothes, reflective surfaces, masks, shields, flotation devices, lighting, and even back up equipment should failure occur. There is also a protocol for use of the such equipment such as mandatory wearing for certain activities. There is also requirements to assure the PPE is functional and meets standards.
In the current COVID-19 Pandemic not only is there a shortage of medical equipment and staff there is also a shortage of PPE to protect the health care workers, so many of the first responders are getting sick and without the PPE the potential for spreading the disease increases while the potential for stopping it decreases.
