By The U.S Sun, April 3, 2020:

A NEW England Patriots truck with hundreds of thousands of N95 masks for health workers battling the coronavirus has arrived in New York City to help curb the crisis.

The 300,000-strong delivery was part of a shipment of more than one million masks the NFL team brought over from China in their branded jet.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft and his family stumped up around $2 million of the $4 million bill, with Kraft saying he had a duty to help.

New York Post front page, April 4, 2002, thanking the New England Patriots.

“In today’s world, those of us who are fortunate to make a difference have a significant responsibility to do so with all the assets we have available to us,” he said.

Kraft worked with Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker to make the gargantuan delivery of life-saving masks happen.

The majority will be distributed to healthcare workers in the state, but Baker and Kraft agreed to send 300,000 of them to the Javits Center in Manhattan, where there is a severe shortage of the masks.

The governor and the NFL team owner worked with a number of individuals, including China’s ambassador Huang Ping and the state’s COVID-19 Command Center, to make the mission possible, reports local network WCVB Boston.

The N95 mask filters out 95 per cent of air particles, meaning it can be the difference between life and death for doctors and nurses who are treating COVID-19 positive patients.

There has been a dire shortage of the masks, with US has scrambling to produce more of the PPE (personal protective equipment), and companies switching production lines to make the masks.

Other businesses have halted selling N95s to free them up for healthcare workers, such as Home Depot, which ordered all its 2,300 stores to stop stocking the face gear.

It’s a nice gesture but some European nations found the masks coming from China to be poorly made and they rejected them. Still it’s better than no masks at all.

Masks from China? Hero?, or collaborator? I wouldn’t touch one of those tainted masks unless you WANT to contract the Communist Virus Deployed in 2019 (aka COVID-19). You can have mine.

Too bad Israel didn’t just blow up the dome of the rock when they captured it during the 6 day war. They should have also packed off all the Jordanians from Gaza back to Jordan while they had the chance.
