Not true. I have these on my desk. I've been using them for at least 6 months here at work.

“We’ve been competing against other states, against other nations, against our own federal government for PPE — coveralls, masks, shields, N95 masks — and we’re not waiting around any longer. And we’re no longer interested in the progress that we were seeing in the past.”
That was California governor Gavin Newsom in an April 7 MSNBC appearance with Rachel Maddow. As Newsom added, “In the last 48 hours we have secured –through a consortia of nonprofits and a manufacturer here in the state of California – upwards of 200 million masks on a monthly basis that we’re confident we can supply the needs of the state of California, potentially the needs of other western states.”
As it happened, the manufacturer wasn’t exactly “here in the state of California.” The manufacturer was BYD, “Build Your Dreams,” a Chinese company not known for making personal protective equipment. Newsom wasn’t revealing details of the $1 billion deal, which as John Myers of the Los Angeles Times noted, “will cost taxpayers 30 percent more than the governor’s January budget allotted for infectious diseases for the whole fiscal year.”

It’s amazing what a small percentage of a contract used as campaign donations will buy.
They are probably cheese graters anyway and about as useful.
Meanwhile the state unemployment office phone line is permanently overloaded and unemployment benefits not getting paid out.
Never buy from ChiComs if there is a choice. Made in Anywhere else, even Mexica, is better than Made in China.

‘And we’re no longer interested in the progress that we were seeing in the past.”’
So we will spend a billion dollars of tax payer money on Chinese PPE even though the rest of the world has found out you are lucky if half of their PPE even works or is damaged.
Mistyped. 6 weeks. Not 6 months.
They promised a place on the board of directors to one of his evil spawn?
They look like the ones, the chineses sneaker boy was rubbing all over his feet at the factory as he grinned his stupid “Death to America” grin.
Great post. Thanks.
Navin Gruesome and others. 40 million vs. how many bureaucrats? Where’s the dossier on Gruesome? On Pelosi? On Feinstein? On Swallwell? etc., etc. BROTHERS & SISTERS in the state/cities/countryside need to lock arms with ammo against these D.C. DIVIDE & CONTROL TYPE TOTALITARIANS. It’s going to get gruesome.
You’re living in a gangster’s paradise and YOU ARE NOT THE GANGSTERS.

Watch them, listen to them, doxx them...so that you can touch them (if necessary).
2020 see clearly
Gotta get rid of this guy somehow.
These are all machine made. Very consistent heat sealing and stitching, sealed packages, etc. We've gotten hand made stuff in here before from China and it's garbage. This has batch numbers, production dates, sealed in cellophane.
Are these FDA approved and/or tested for quality?
Not true. I have these on my desk. I’ve been using them for at least 6 months here at work.

LOL - Those are, most definitely, NOT N95 masks!
Welcome to the California mindset.
Newsom would have contracted Japanese companies to clean up Pearl Harbor on December 8th 1941.
A co-worker exclaimed to me that “we can’t let Muslims be treated like the Japanese were in WWII when we put them in the camps!” the day after 9-11.
That’s how they think here in Traitorland.
Not exactly Reagan country anymore.
Good post. As you probably know, contracts are a favorite vehicle used by politicians for political and personal purposes. It amazes me how few people are aware of that basic fact of political life.
Insanity and a complete waste of money. The masks are too little too late, marginally effective, and for the most part no longer needed since the the contagion spread has peaked and is on the decline. Newsom is deliberately hyping the danger and propping up his fear-mongering to justify a continued state-wide shutdown thru June in order to devastate California as much as possible under the veil of “saving lives.” Newsom is a pernicious Dem tool, a complete clown and needs to get booted.
No shit. It says BYD "NOT KNOWN FOR MAKING PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT" When clearly they DO.
A facemask company told the scientists to do this so will could sell masks.
