I work in a hospital in southern New Jersey. We had a department meeting last Tuesday, the Environmental Services department. They told us currently this is a shortage of what are called N 95 masks. There is a shortage we were told because great quantities of these masks had been shipped to China. I flipped the f out when I heard that.

A country that night and day is looking to destroy us militarily, politically and economically and we're shipping them N 95 masks.

Sending masks to China was the correct thing to do.

They need them, we can make more.

Stoping the spread of the virus in China is the critical link in the process. If it can be delayed from making sufficient critical mass of infections,

If the virus is sufficiently checked in China, the rest of the world will have time to prepare

If it breaks out sufficiently, it will spread rapidly. The goal is to slow the spread in hopes it will follow other corona virus epidemiology and moderate spread in the spring to get us safely through this season.

We will be prepared by the time next season comes around. If we see s la wide spread break out this year, no amount of masks are going yo work
