      Remember March? As American hospitals ran out of tests, masks and gowns, President Trump suggested states try the open market . Governors panicked. Infection spread, largely unchecked. @AP found Chinese exports had stalled. 2/7http://apne.ws/TFXEJtj

      Just when they were needed most, Malaysian factories supplying the US with medical gloves dropped to half-capacity. The industry is plagued with labor abuses. 3/7http://apne.ws/VYYsH11

      As the first shipments of N95 medical grade masks finally reached the U.S., reporters @JulietLinderman and @MendozaMartha noticed one shipment had ear loops instead of head bands, a tell-tale sign of counterfeits. 4/7http://apne.ws/nj1FTxD

      Untested, unapproved, and without a factory of their own. The U.S. government made a big gamble on start-up injection device for COVID-19 vaccines, @AP @frontlinepbs and @GlobalRepCentre reported 5/7http://apne.ws/iw91jek

      Why are there still N95 shortages? The Trump administration hasn’t made long-term investments in meltblown textile, the key ingredient for the masks. 6/7http://apne.ws/ykZ4N1M

          No. It's much simpler. You don't exist until you have something he wants. Then he will destroy you to get it.

          The Trump administration? Eh? What about the market and the suppliers? Why haven't they adapted and profited? You guys forget this one was not for a Chinese audience?

          It's been 7 months now and I still can't buy an N95 mask. Granted, the essential medical workers get priority, but this is a failing for the supposed "greatest nation on earth." We can't get this done?? And still can't even find Clorox wipes!

          One would think essential medical workers would be getting PPE including N95 masks. Sadly that is BULLSHIT in America. My wife is a nurse that does work with Covid19 patients 8 to 12 hours a day, 5 to 7 days a week and she is issued just two N95 masks a week.

          I think the Feds are hording. While one can say "demand is high", consumption is at record low levels. We know they can safely be reused and don't have a choice. Masks would be discarded like used tissues a year ago, yet now they are retained. Where are all the #masks?

          The N95 mask was never the best mask for fighting viral pathogens. There are now more than 59 companies making nano-enhanced coatings which are when sealed around the perimeter completely resistant to contamination. Is AP owned by 3M?

          Then where are they or even the N95 masks for my nurse wife and her fellow staff working 40 to 60 hours a week caring for Covid19 patients yet only being issued 2 masks to last the entire week. You go ahead & believe the Orange Baffoon but those in the real world know the truth.
