In fact, before there was even a single confirmed case in the United States, the VA was already conducting emergency preparedness exercises. And thanks to the president’s decisive leadership, VA facilities have enough supplies to handle an influx of patients,” Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie writes in the Military Times.
