Inventory of equipment is important to assess needs, anticipate actions to lead, build public pressure for drastic actions, and later on held public officials accountable if necessary.
The flow of equipment and shortages related news is important and steady.
I (Yug) review and integrate nearly all resources produced by the The New York Times & The Guardian.
Many other high quality sources and POV have also been identified in WikiProject_COVID-19/Sources#News.
