It gave me chills!

I would think it is a contract option. The partners have obligations outside the country via customers. This would remove any complaint option the minor partner could have.

The good news is that they are moving at “Trump Speed” to onshore the manufacturing of those supply chains.

Will that be fast enough?

And with 5 more years of Trump, maybe we will institutionalize policies and procedures that prevent this amount of offshoring of critical supply chains from ever happening again.

The nationalization of the US owned mask factory should be a warning to every company in China. Trump warned them to get out of China.

One of my employees just married a girl from China this fall. He spent just over $400 on N95 masks weeks ago and FedEx’d them to her family in Guangzhou.

They never made it, seems China is searching every package coming in that it suspects might be carrying aid from ex-patriots to their families now.

I told him this was going to happen, but also I tried to buy 100 count box of them from McMaster-Carr last week and I got a nice email back stating that the US government has taken possession of all their stocks, and that anything they get in will be immediately used to fill their open ended order and recommended I find another source.

caww :" So do these work for the corona virus or not? "

Yes, these are recommended by FDA .
That being said, don't forget that the only source of information that we have,
comes from the Chinese government, which has not been too cooperative in releasing information.
These will protect the general population under current medical protocols.
However, as more information about the virus becomes known
to American doctors, the protocols may change.

Remember, in the past with the Ebola virus, the protocols had to be modified and tightened up
as medical healthcare workers and doctors were getting contaminated and came down with the virus.
At the present time, these masks are the current medical standard for preventing viral transmission.

US government has taken possession of masks just like they did with ammo a few years ago. Nothing to see. Move along.

Looks like white liberal elite bureaucrats in Washington have taken the masks TO PROTECT THEMSELVES. TRUMP NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS...

“Corrupt white liberal ‘elites’ in DC have taken the masks for themselves. Trump needs to look into this as soon as he gets back from India.
