Flip, maybe those factories in Cambodia could switch over and produce something absolute needed, like face mask. Simple business sense, have to produce something someone else want or needs!
I don't know. I do know they have it as well but the pictures I've seen of them leaving their factories, very few have any face protection on.
I suspect we are presently awash in face masks. I just read that the local hospital is actually laying off medical personnel because they are not needed, the anticipated case load never reached the anticipated levels. Why I say the same thing will occur with ventilators. Way too many made for the actual demand.
Of course all you hear about is Cumo and other governors whining about not enough supplies, I'm beginning to think it's just that, whining.
Lots of citizens have expired but lots of citizens expire from the common flu every year as well and that isn't counting drug, auto or violence deaths.
Finally, I'm against intubation entirely unless it's a matter of life and death. Intubation has some very serious consequences, I know, I've had the procedure done to me and the recuperation time as well as the damage done to you physically is pretty severe. I had it done over 1.5 years ago and I still have issues from it.
My hat is off to the current POTUS, he got with the program early on and made sure this country had enough of everything. Sure, there were minor glitches but he did a bang up job and had very consul as well.
Totally untread waters.
Not sure I'd trust Cambodia to make masks that weren't germ free anyway. Not much more than a 3rd world hovel, certainly not a world class economy.
