We’re two weeks in and so many hospitals are out of PPE for all intents and purposes.

They didn’t have two weeks? If we were in week 8, I’d have a lot more sympathy.

The problem is that a lot of that stuff has a shelf life/expiration date of a couple years.



So the narrative is a bullshite one to begin with.

3M Particulate Filter 5P71/07194(AAD), P95 100 EA/Case $1.70/EA retail. 5+ year shelf life.
Assume $1.00/Ea with a purchase of 60MM over five years LIFO is $12MM/per year to maintain stock,+ 1MM per year for storage and handling
.163% of the $8B CDC Budget.

The PPE shortages are a result of us shipping manufacturing of medical equipment/supplies overseas the last 30 years.

No it's not a lot on the grand scheme of things. BUT the question remains.

Where does he get his hands on them? If 10 people can do the same then it adds up.
