from Silver Doctors:

Good thing the coronavirus is like the flu, and risk here in America is “low”, so it’s not like we’ll be needing any of this personal protective equipment!

(Silver Doctors Editors) There have been reports of global shortages of masks, gowns, gloves and other personal protective equipment (PPE) due to the Wuhan Coronavirus outbreak and the subsequent unprepared people of the world scrambling for supplies.

These reports began weeks ago.

For example, from CBS Chicago, back on January 24th:

Here’s ABC on January 28th reporting on supply shortages here in the United States:

Notice the pharmacy/drug store manager said “all of the distributors I go through are out”.

On the last day of January, the nation of India has banned the exportation of personal protective equipment.

From Reuters on January 31st:

NEW DELHI (Reuters) – India on Friday banned the export of personal protection equipment such as masks and clothing amid a global coronavirus outbreak.

It did not give a reason for the ban but it reported its first case of the new coronavirus on Thursday, a woman in the southern state of Kerala who was a student of Wuhan University in China.

There is no reason given because it’s implied: It’s called “being prepared”.

Some might even call it “prepping”, as in, preparing to deal with a fast developing crisis.

That said, this weekend, the World Health Organization’s General-Director said “The world is facing chronic shortage[s] of personal protective equipment”:

Well now, it’s a good thing that personal protective equipment is in such abundant supply here in the United States that we can not only send it away, but we can also afford to just give it away, and an even better thing is that we won’t be needing any of that personal protective equipment here!

And even if we did need personal protective equipment here, it’s pretty much no big deal because our Treasury Secretary has informed us the US government hasn’t seen signs of supply disruptions!
