I'm not going to lay the blame on capitalism since they would have to close the facilities under a socialist economy as well. There wouldn't have been any larger stockpiles of equipment in a socialist system than under a capitalist system. There simply is no reason to maintain large equipment stockpiles that cost money, occupy space, and require tracking so that the supplies are replenished after they pass their expiration dates.

Was the Trump administrative ineffective with their planning? Yes. The warning signs were out there and they should be at least two months farther ahead than they are.

Should huge bailouts of businesses occur? Sometimes, but that would be necessary whether we were under a capitalist, socialist, or communist economy. However, that assistance should only go to the businesses that truly need it in order to survive while other businesses that have the financial assets should fend for themselves.
