US buys out France-bound Chinese masks right off tarmac

The U.S. has bought out a large shipment of Chinese-made face masks originally bound for France right before they were shipped off from airports in China, according to French government officials.
"A regional president explained to us that his order for masks had been bitten at the airport itself by the Americans, who paid three times the price, in cash. It is pretty incredible," Renaud Muselier, the president of the Provences-Alpes-Cotes d'Azur region, told an interview with BFMTV.
Jean Rottner, the president of the Grand-Est region and an emergency room doctor also has said that the Chinese-made masks had been purchased for two or three times more.
He blamed the U.S. intervention for the mask shortage his region had to face.
"Indeed, on the tarmac, the Americans take out the cash for orders we have placed," he has said.

A plane probably flew over the tarmac and the Frenchies ran for cover while the USA boys pulled out the wallet

In reality....we're in some sad and pitiful times...it is what it is but my conscience says that was kinda dirty to frick over the French but we've entered a new level of desperation in the pandemic fight, survival of the fittest (wealthy and powerful)

these are the frickers that made US warships fly around their country to bomb Libya, thereby increasing the risk of the mission and endangering American lives

Two important take aways:
Lesson 1: Medical supplies like steel and oil are strategically critical items.
Lesson 2: Produce your own strategically critical items if you can.

Newsom is right that this is going to result in changes in policy and economy, but not how he thinks.
China is about to get bent over.

French border guards seize two lorries carrying 130,000 coronavirus face masks for hero NHS medics

The French sparked a near-diplomatic row by seizing two lorries carrying 130,000 face masks for the NHS.
The cargo was being urgently ferried in a major boost for over-stretched UK medics battling coronavirus.
But French border guards impounded the trucks after realising what was on board.
They were acting on President Emmanuel Macron’s pledge to “requisition” all masks for his country’s fight.
The seizure came just 24 hours after another British-bound vehicle carrying thousands of bottles of hand sanitiser was also held up on the other side of the Channel.

I hope you are correct
fwiw, my wife is starting to act like yours; if she had her way, we'd hole up for 3 to 5 weeks and have food delivered...

Why are we getting anything from China?

Recall you haven't seen the admiral assigned to FEMA in over a week at the briefings. Want to know why?
Because his job is to get every mask, suit and ventilator in the world that is "buyable".
'Murica. frick yeah!

You poor soul.
There hasn't been a day we haven't had a dustup about this because I am not overreacting and lamenting the apocalypse like she is.
