600 million facemask order won't help fight coronavirus epidemic at its peak

The Department of Health and Human Services is spending almost half a billion dollars on the largest push this year so far for N95 masks, according to government contracts. The masks, once made, will go to the country's health care stockpile and to states at no cost, yet it'll take months for the manufacturers to be fully up to speed.

The masks will cost the federal government between about 50 cents to almost a dollar per mask, depending on the company, at a total price tag of about $443 million, according to contract information obtained by CNN on Monday.HHS initially had sought the masks over the next 18 months, emphasizing it wanted them to be delivered"quickly without overwhelming the supply chain during a national emergency," according to contract solicitation paperwork.

600 million facemasks? WOW! I bought two (only 2!) online over a month ago and I am still waiting for them...

CNN = All we do is bitch! China News Network

But of course, shithead Trump thought it was a hoax, even thou his own people try to tell him.. KARMA

As the coronavirus ’s improve, the vastly inaccurate models are are exposed as fiction & we get closer to restarting our economy, the hysteria & fear mongering from the partisan hacks at CNN will reach a fever pitch!! CNN IS THE ENEMY!!

Got my 3M mask right here. 🤣🤣

Look at what my state, California, did leading up to this. I will hand it to current Gov he has not let TDS derail him and he has done better for our state than expected. Check out the votes that gutted our stockpiles by CA lawmakers refusal to fund. Put the blame on the states!

What another dumb headline

Obama

It’s not up to the Federal government to save us. coronavirus.

Maybe they should have ordered before mid March

the pic of the n95 mask is useless for fighting this virus.

How about full and half face masks? What about hazmat suits, mop4 etc. Can't we give them military CBRN gear? They would have to decontaminate but they would have protection.

TrumpGenocide

Not needed, bullshit story.

Wouldn't have had that problem if the Kenyan Muslim hadn't left the stocks fully depleted after HIS disaster where tens of thousands died...

600 million is better than nothing...

Oh I receive 2 of them if fed divide it by all population

How should I prepare for the worst-case scenario? and What can I do to prevent spread and protect myself? This epidemic is unpredictable, and it is possible that it could begin spreading in your community. See What virologists say.. Don't worry

Media reduced to feckless hecklers

Fake news

Obama and NYC mayor fault for separating supplies. Truth
