Robert Kraft uses Patriots plane to get 1.2 million masks from China for health care workers
Gov. Charlie Baker shared a photo of the plane early Thursday on Twitter, saying "No days off. Thanks to some serious teamwork, Massachusetts is set to receive over 1 million N95 masks for our front-line workers. Huge thanks to the Krafts and several dedicated partners for making this happen." Kraft is expected to join Baker to greet the plane when it arrives later Thursday in Boston.
No, the CCP says the economy is up and running and while infections are down it does not meant their export market (a full fifth of their gdp) is recovering. It was decreasing by $5 billion a month BEFORE the virus hit.
On top of that, their dollar reserves are in even worse shape. When everyone is scrambling to buy bonds now, China is selling them like there is no tomorrow in exchange for dollars because no one wants yuan. They can’t do that for very long and soon enough their imports will start to suffer.
Somebody better do a lot of QC checking of those masks. The vast majority of N95 masks made in China do not meet the specs because the machines to make the media properly are in very short supply, and have long backorders. They are NOT easy machines to just copy or run.
I’m not saying the Chinese can’t develop the tech, but right now they only have it in very limited supply.
