4 years ago, an exec for a top PPE producer testified to Congress that in Jan 2020 (as fear of covid began to spread) his firm offered to ramp up production to make 1.7 million N95 masks available to the public per week.
@rbreich well hey, at least now that we mostly killed domestic respirator production we can turn up the tariff on Chinese PPE and make protection really expensive! Should work great (/s)
