Because they wear them in a lot of areas, I wonder if the big 3 in Detroit could donate a supply. There are probably a lot of shut down industries who could do the same.

What about taking the mask off to eat? How about a drink of water or three during a 12 hour shift? As soon as that mask seal is broken, they're considered compromised. Asking personnel to limit themselves to even 2 masks a day is dangerous to both employees and patients....and you want them to get by on one? And reuse it for days?


Come on, no. I want industry to pump them out by the millions, but for some reason they're not.

I'm saying if you've only got one it can be reused.

They need not be single use if you are up against it.

Tell the dumbasses who aren’t taking this serious to stay home. More that do the faster this gets under control and less masks needed.

I mean, I hear you. Just saying, put yourself in the shoes of a doctor or nurse having to deal with this highly contagious disease day in and day out, especially if they themselves are immuno-compromised, older, etc.....none of those people signed up to put their life on the line for a shitty paying job. People WILL quit or refuse to work based on existing OSHA regulations. The hospitals then have no recourse against them and face legal consequences.

Do you see the problem here? I tried to help by highlighting it.


What would you have done? They were already facing shortages in January because China was keeping the masks they produce.

Good boy. Now you're starting to see who the real enemy is: corporations and the politicians that accept their money. Including Trump.

I just watched the ABC Nightly News and one of the first stories was the about the President having signed an order to commandeer industry to make masks and ventilators. A act set up during the Korean War.

The President said he signed it but hasn't enacted yet.

Then later they ran a story highlighting the acute shortage of masks and soon-to-be ventilators and I'm left wondering WTF are they waiting for?? Just get'er done. Jeez.

I believe that’s easier said than done due to the fine fibers on the interior of the masks.

When this is all said and done hopefully there will be a huge overhaul on where our medical equipment is made. Needs to be treated with the same focus we treat our national defense. Can’t let China have us by the balls when it comes to health.

Sad when our Multi billionaire Philanthropists are using their money to combat global warming while China’s are using theirs for something that’s REALLY a threat. Looking at you Gates, Bazos.
If I had one I would certainly donates it as anyone else that isn’t at high risk but I got nothing.
Seems like the 3 D printers would be pumping these things out in huge numbers..
