that while"we do have in the strategic national stockpile ventilators and masks," there are not nearly enough for a nationwide outbreak. He estimated that the U.S. needs about 300 million face masks to slow the spread of the virus, and said officials only have about a 10th of that amount.tight-fitting masks used by health care professionals that can filter out viruses.
Those authorities"can be used across the federal government to shape the domestic industrial base so that, when called upon, it is capable of providing essential materials and goods needed for the national defense," the congressional think tank said.
Referring to the article posted, they absolutely need to use the “special WH power” to expedite a covid-19 vaccine!!! Hear that Trump?! This is a legitimate time to use executive powers or whatever to get this done!!
That's wild. We are likely to just disburse to 1%.
Also...there are only one million hospital beds in this entire country. What’s the plan there, pency?
This bs is overkill. Blatant COVIDFITEERING.
So literally just the population of the United States. Way to go, brain geniuses.
Jfc just get a dozen reusable face masks for now. Wash your hands, avoid touching your face, mouth and eyes. Eat healthy, maintain personal hygiene and avoid body contact or handshakes with strangers. Don't travel if you can help it.
Mickey Mouse operation top to bottom
They ignored the situation for a month!
mask won't help
FAce mask is not the best protection from the virus . Frequent hand washing is the best that we can take to prevent the virus from spreading....
But, but , 45 said it was a hoax ...
I uses plastic bags cover my head must cheaper.
Good thing it’s “not as bad as the flu”
BREAKING: Officals are NOT prepared and guess what?! THEY ARE IGNORING SCIENTISTS!! Wearing a mask is unnecessary and will possibly put you at more risk of getting sick. Only wear one if you ARE sick to prevent spreading water droplets when you breathe. There.
No one should have a face mask unless they have the virus, wash your hands always and keep them away from YOUR FACE. That will keep you safe and free from any sickness.
Impressive estimate. Translation: the population.
There for the infected to wear.
President Trump wants to bring our meds and medical equip business back to America ‼️‼️
Lol
Here’s a solution
Thought they said hand washing is better than face masks that really don’t help? Why spend the money?
Wondering how many of these masks are going show up in the landfills, on the beaches and in the guts of whales?
Thought it wasn’t effective So which is it
How about 300m ear plugs! 🤔
SenMcSallyAZ great preparation 👏....👏.......👏 SecAzar you’re failing
Is that plastic?!?! Ooohhh Greta is going to be pissed
that's almost the population of the US. also this is ridiculous, masks should be worn by those who are at all sick in order to protect everyone around them. how do they not know this
SMacMillanMD There is a larger danger with this! If private citizens hoard masks, our healthcare professionals who are in front of ill people every minute of the day will have a difficult time finding adequate supplies! Experts say - except during travel - washing hands is the best defense!
That's big government Everybody should make their own masks out of their boot straps
We have plenty of shuttered US factories you could use
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
What about your eyes, ears, cuts or abrasions. If your pet has it and is bitten by a flea, you will get it .. A MASK IS NO GOOD, unless you want to stop your germs from spreading to others ...
They need 300 million, our population is 327 million. Why so many masks? hoax
You need a more specialized mask, known as the N95 respirator to protect yourself against the coronavirus a regular surgical mask won't protect you...
magicdmw I bet Soros bought shares in the mask company a couple of weeks ago!
We need the truth, Donald Trump says the coronavirus is a hoax, so why would they worry about face masks? This is serious and we have a President that can’t tell the truth to the American people.
This is what people really need
It’s just a flue why all the fuss about a mask 😷 this is whole thing is blown out of proportion. I have survived while being pregnant of dubble pneumonia, swine flue & 5 days in a coma.People can survive this. Stop playing the fright game through Media
But really how many Americans will wear them?
Good business
V2019N realDonaldTrump said it is a low risk so you guys might need 5-10k masks
This is utter ignorance and gaslighting on the HHS part. Both the CDC and the WHO have said that masks aren’t nearly as effective as the hysteria is making them out to be. Both have stated that the best prevention is proper and vigorous hand washing as well as avoiding the ill
I found a few rubber bands in a drawer and used them to fashion a mask out of a paper towel. Sec. Azar says this should be sufficient to prevent infection.
The N95 respirators are for health care workers, not the general public.
this is why we should start producing our own medicines, masks, gowns, like why are we still dependent on another country to make items we could make here.
Wonder who gets this money to make those Someone Trump knows I’m sure.🤣 There’s always something fishy going on with him.
Why does CDC and NIH say they are not recommending masks?
I was lucky. I ordered a p100 rated face mask on Amazon & it's coming Sunday. I also ordered some p100 filters that I can put in my travel face mask which fits tight on my face & has an intake air vent. This should work very well when I drive from the airport w/Uber/Lyft riders.
Masks are utterly useless for stoping a virus, but buy one if it makes you feel 'better.'
Masks will only help the other people around you, if you have the virus. They will not help you from getting the virus. We are all going to die b/c of this idiotic president.
lol
The stores are sold out
Sale on mask stocks!
I don't know why they think we need so many. Trump said 2 days ago that it would clear up miraculously in April when it gets warm so....problem solved.
'How many masks will we need?' 'idk, whats the population? lets just go with that number just to be safe. am I nailing this or what?'
We turned auto factories into tank & bomber factories almost overnight in WWII and we can’t make face masks?
Knowing this govt the masks will come pre-infected. There’s a history of that type of thing.
How do you Democrats think open border policies is a good idea? Let the coronavirus walk in to the United States.
He should put his name on it! That way Democrats will not use it. Big problem solved.
Uuuummmmm
JohnBasham Fear mongering
Why is Azores pushing mask use when CDC hasn’t recommended it? Masks won’t block virus - at least the ones available to general public. Asking seriously.
Be what year? 2025? What were they doing in 12/2019 when there was plenty of time to accumulate masks? You know what they were doing? Whining about the impeachment! They don’t care about Americans.
Hope there are not 'Made In China'.. 🤣🙄🤔😔
Like i said we ain4 broke i can show
I got yall on em...send account and routen numbers 2 my account name the price god bluess will be running for president...id like to announce my candicy as me and wiz kahlifa conquer the world brother...with my new kevin david prp gram ur money is safe its right here
V2019N
What about soap & hot water to wash hands...more effective then masks
Go. Do it. Fix the problems that are fixable
Go Go Globalism eh? Buy MADE IN AMERICA
Let's bring plague mask back.
Maybe you need to do more research. It only helps people who are such cold not virus. Pleas research.
Need test kits
That type of mask is good for sanding and painting, but completely useless protection against viruses.
Laurie_Garrett How about some tests first you incompetent idiots SecAzar ? Start with screening pneumonia patients in all 50 states to see how bad the problem really is This is not that difficult, please let actual professionals from CDCgov take over. DrNancyM_CDC CDCDirector DrTedrosA
Hand sanitizer swiped under the nose. Fool proof. You’re welcome.
All you need to know is who will profit from this and what liberties they will infringe upon
What in heaven's name are these fools waiting for? Start production now! These are durable items, they don't go bad! They can't make too many. On the other hand, you can't pull health care providers out of thin air and without PPE, their ranks will thin quickly.
Too busy grifting.
ReachTheMasses What about gloves?
7 weeks to prepare wasted!
V2019N Cornovirus map spread prediction is it will start w any significant amount ( not able to be controlled due to high numbers infected)at Christmas time or early 2021. Israel is close to a vaccine though, so...
lauferlaw There are 30 million masks out there? Good for us.
I lost all my masks in a boating accident 😭
