b_m_b_m_b_m Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Sending PPE to China at that point was the right move Wrong moves: not ramping up production of PPE and needed medical equipment. What needs to be put through a kangaroo court with swift but just sentences for the offenders: the giving of supplies to friendly governor's while taking them from not so friendly governor's. If this were in Africa, the BBC would be writing a report on how his administration is helping supporters while withholding aid to the opposition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada's PM has been criticized for sending supplies when they needed them but now chinese organizations have been paying it forward by sending canada far more then they sent to china.

It’s less about “giving supplies” and more the narrative of “omg this snuck up on us yesterday we didn’t know what was going on in China”.

That's not even it really. It's more they are dragging their feet as that is aid from organizations that the US is helping to ship over. There is a high chance that stuff has been sitting around for months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commodore D Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Potential PPE Sanitation Quote Battelle for decades has developed technology used by the military to protect against biological and chemical hazards. It said the new mask-cleaning technology builds off research conducted for the FDA in 2015 that assessed the feasibility of cleaning N95 respirator masks in the event of a PPE shortage resulting from a pandemic.

The CEO of our company has revised the same letter like 3 or 4 times over the week saying, "you are essential, go to work!" But not if the place you're patrolling has nothing to patrol anymore. Lulz. Oh yeah I got one of those "I am essential" letters I can keep in my car too. Printer is out of ink though but I don't think I'll get pulled over anyhow!

At this point I just feel like I'm putting my self at risk in order to entertain disaster tourists. We are Pamplona when the doors open. These people are desperate, and are actually shopping for need. After that though, it's just a bunch of bored assholes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iculus Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I've also moved out of my house in order to reduce the exposure risk to my family. I have some friends that have a cabin in North GA, that decided to shelter there. I'm staying in their empty house for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
