since the va is part of the national medical system, they're going to be facing shortages. ctors and nurses just want that to be honestly conveyed to them. until recently, the va was not saying that there were any shortages. every time i would reach out for comment, i would be told that the premise of my question is wrong, and that i -- and that there was plenty of gear. there were no shortages. >> i know that a lot of your reporting has been based on internal memos circulated among top level va employees. so they have this public facing line that everything is fine, but at the highest level of the agency, they're circulating memos very concerned about rationing in order to try to spread minimal ppe around this huge workforce. obviously, i'm not asking you to compromise or characterize your sources, but is it fair for those of us reading your reporting to draw the conclusion that there are a lot of people at the va, including high level people at the va who see value in having this information out there, despite the fact that it contradicts the official line from the agency?

i will say that bring it from home anecdote tracks with information we received from one va medical facilityorgia where staff were told the medical center was seeking donations from the public for basic things like disinfecting wipes, paper towels, and bleach let alone gloves and face shields and masks. they're soliciting bleach from the public for a va medical center? despite the evidence of what's happening inside the facilities, the the public line from the va has continued to be everything is just fine, there's nothing wrong at all. when "the wall street journal" went to the va for comment, hava spoekswoman christina noel told the paper quote, your premise is false. all employees that need ppe have it. doesn't seem like that's true. why won't the va admit it? there is a real crisis taking place. we learned as of today more than 1,500 va staff have tested positive for coronavirus, 13 staff members are known to have died. there are more than 4,200 coronavirus cases among veterans in the system, 257 vets are known to have died. that's separate and apart from the situation in state-run veter
