The Democrats must have a lot of masks.

They’ve been thieves for years.

Healthcare became the biggest employer in the USA in 2015. It employed 16 million people in 2015.

Let’s assume 1/3 need masks - 5 million people.
Let’s also assume they go through 3 masks a day (probably 5X too low). Assume they work 250 days per year. That’s about 750 masks per year per employee.
5 million people x 750 masks / year-person = 3.7 billion masks for one year.

We can argue the assumptions, but it is very hard to get below the 300 million number in the article. Maybe the 300 million is to get us through the first three months.

It always helps to run some numbers and quickly bound the problem before saying “nonsense.”

Bullsh!t! Go to Lowes or Home Depot and stock up rather than wait for Uncle Sam to take care of you. Worse comes to worse, you have either something to profit on eBay when the pandemic comes, or you have something to wear when mowing the lawn for the next dcade! Its not the governments job to supply us with face masks or hands to wipe our asses! Prepare yourself for the worse and hope for the best!

My gut feeling about this corona virus is that the Globalists, Illumaniti and their collective ilk are smiling at this as it serve their goal to reduce 90% of the world's population to their optimum amount of just 500 million.

Also remember that Bill Gates has said on record that "The way to reduce the world's population is via vaccination".

So by allowing this virus to spread worldwide while decrying any country that wishes to close their borders, they hope that the infection will reach the crisis point and then Voila, they roll out the cure in the form a "Vaccine" which will cure the virus but eventually shorten the recipients' life for a early death a few yrs afterwards.

Remember the infamous words of Obama: NEVER LET A CRISIS GO TO WASTE!!

... Why don't they just put up signs saying ..... "No CoronaVirus Allowed ... This is a CoronaVirus Free Zone ....

That should take care of the problem.

Or all the dollars showered on “undocumented” immigrants, carrying in who knows what other pestilence and filth on us.

300 million would only last 2 weeks. 300 million seems like a low estimate to me. You’d think they would want 2-3 months of supply.

The last administration spent the mask money on guns and ammo

There’s nothing in the USC that authorizes the federal government any role in health care (Article 1, Section 8). It is the province of states and/or the people (10th Amendment). Even pandemics.

It’s just an excuse for the government to play a larger, more expansive role in our lives.
