I laughed at this tweet by Tom Elliott: Theres a non zero percent chance the mafia is involved here.
It feels right. Were a third-world country now in many respects. Our nurses wear trash bags because our leaders were too shortsighted and slovenly to stockpile PPE before a pandemic broke out. Were governed by a nationalist strongman whose battle plan against the virus seems to be to give everyone some hydroxychloroquine and tell them to get back to work. Of course a society at that late stage of decline might need to turn to the mafia as a key distributor of supplies.
I dont understand the claim here that SEIU discovered a distributor who was sitting on 39 million farking masks. The N95 is the gold standard, a respirator that fits tightly around the nose and mouth and filters out at least 95 percent of tiny particles. Doctors and nurses have been screaming for more of them for weeks. Trump and Mike Pence have called for donations to keep hospital workers stockpiled while the feds look to manufacture more. The masks are supposed to be single-use but theyre so scarce that medical personnel have taken to spraying them down with disinfectant and reusing them day after day while hoping for the best:
Anyone whos sitting on 39 million masks surely understands what they do and why theyre desperately needed now. How were they only discovered this week?

Yep I have a small stash of about ten N95 masks. They are about 12 years old. They have been kept in the garage in a seldom opened locked cabinet. I inspected them last week and the elastic bands are iffy. I carefully stretched a few and the rubber discolored, a sure sign they don't have a lot of time left before they disintegrate.
“Michelle Malkin sold HotAir ten years ago. It is now owned by pseudo-conservative media empire Salem Communications”
Michele started up Twitchy, apparently with Salam Communications money, so they haven’t completely sold out.
Her take down of Juan Williams on one of the Fox Cable shows about five years back was epic and spelled the end of her days as a paid Fox News Contributor.
Here is one of Michele’s most recent tweets. Got to love her.
“Have you noticed those preaching loudest that “We’re all in this together” are Hollywood celebs in multi-million-dollar mansions, corporate CEOs, & Open-Borders Swamp creatures who live & play by different rules & standards than the rest of us? NO, we’re NOT all #InItTogether”
That $5 price tag answers the question of why these mask have just now been found and why it was SEIU and not the government that did the finding.
I have a tiny inkling that the SEIU will be out of these masks and get no money for them.
The f***ing aholes.
You, sir, have provided a wonderful service with these instructions.
Spoken like a natural-born slave, waiting and expecting other to wait for orders from Der fuhrer before taking any precautions or any activity whatever.
“I have some that have been in my garage since the obunghole 2009 epidemic and the elastic is still good.”
Same here, mine also date back to 2009 (as a paranoid prepper, I put dates on everything). I also have new ones from January. I can’t tell the difference.
Let’s see .. . 39,000,000 masks @ $5.00 per mask equals .. . 3.14 bazillion dollars for EVERY American ( including illegals ) .. . wait .. . carry the 1, divide by the disinclined pandemonium .. . DANG! .. . where’s a JOURNALIST to do the math when you need one!?
What really counts for max effectiveness is the electrostatically-charged HEPA cloth, but even woven cotton is better than just breathing in the invisible exhaled infected floating CV specks you can't see.
yeah! POTUS doesn’t mess around. Cofiv, meet coveffe.
And leave the SEIU's leadership with atomic wedgies and stuffed in a bunch of middle school lockers.
ah ok- didn’t know that-
Great idea!
Would double sided strips of Velcro work as retainer straps?
