Coronavirus: First shipment of PPE supplies from China has arrived in Dublin

AN AER LINGUS cargo flight from China carrying €28 million worth of personal protective equipment (PPE) for Irish healthcare workers has landed at Dublin Airport.

The Airbus A330-302 cargo plane was loaded with PPE including masks, gowns and goggles in Beijing before making the over 8,000 km flight back to Ireland.

The shipment from Beijing, worth an estimated €28 million, is made up of 11 million masks, 2.3 million eye protections, 2.4 million gowns, and 9 million gloves.

This is the first delivery flight of the HSE’s €208 million order of PPE from China.

The first ten cargo flights of the HSE’s order will be arriving between Sunday and Wednesday, and after that flights are expected to continue on a daily basis, according to HSE chief Paul Reid.

“We are already assured that the Chinese provider is currently assembling and putting together what will be our second batch, so we would see flights continuing on a regular daily basis of the coming weeks. Both for this batch, and subsequent batches, up to the end of May and probably beyond as it is over €200 million of an order,” Reid said this morning.

Reid said the large consignment of PPE will be distributed to all healthcare providers and systems across the country. This includes hospitals, primary care centres, GPs, and private nursing providers.

“Obviously this is a major logistical delivery. It will be distributed from our distribution centre this evening and will be distributed over the coming days.

China creates the problem then makes money providing sub par masks.

If the world doesn’t learn to decouple from the ChiComs after this they are all crazy.

The ChiComs made a great fuss about sending thousands of test kits to several Eurpean countries. Turns out 80% of them were defective.

The Dutch government has ordered a recall of around 600,000 masks out of a shipment of 1.3 million from China after they failed to meet quality standards. The defective masks had already been distributed to several hospitals currently battling the COVID-19 outbreak,

Pretty tough to screw up a gown but if there is a way, the Chinese will find it.

Defective, infected, both? Maybe this is some sort of homeopathic remedy on a grand scale.

No tellin' how many small towns and cities all over Asia had their shelves cleaned out by Chinese folks who ship it back to China or sell it at a profit in China.

Just with what they cleared off the shelves in California probably freed up what they're shipping to Ireland while they pass out inside China what was shipped back to China from the US.
