Weve been competing against other states, against other nations, against our own federal government for PPE coveralls, masks, shields, N95 masks and were not waiting around any longer. And were no longer interested in the progress that we were seeing in the past.
That was California governor Gavin Newsom in an April 7 MSNBC appearance with Rachel Maddow. As Newsom added, In the last 48 hours we have secured through a consortia of nonprofits and a manufacturer here in the state of California upwards of 200 million masks on a monthly basis that were confident we can supply the needs of the state of California, potentially the needs of other western states.
As it happened, the manufacturer wasnt exactly here in the state of California. The manufacturer was BYD, Build Your Dreams, a Chinese company not known for making personal protective equipment. Newsom wasnt revealing details of the $1 billion deal, which as John Myers of the Los Angeles Times noted, will cost taxpayers 30 percent more than the governors January budget allotted for infectious diseases for the whole fiscal year.
