The poor bastard who runs that company was almost in tears talking about how he's been telling the feds for years that this would happen. Been studiously ignored.
Its something like he's undercut in price even though the Chinee ship the cloth to Mexico to be assembled. He's survived by selling to institutions that wanted to avoid this cluster. I remember John's Hopkins for one. His new customers got religion during the other pandemic scares, but would always go cheap again when things went back to normal.
Heard him on Steve Bannon's Pandemic web stream. Worth a listen.
I just glanced at an article that was about a northern Texas company that makes surg masks - something about it’s running full bore and can’t keep up with worldwide orders.

thanks for the background. The governor might want to introduce him to President Trump. Partly because, was it Calif?, that just said they had xx number of masks stockpiled, but they were expired. He could be kept busy for at least a few years just bringing state stockpiles up to date. That would make things right.
