Perhaps your government is trying to kill you.

Maybe you remember what you heard on CNN. Here is what actually happened. Please help by not spreading those lies. (Parts bolded by me)
3M Says It Needed Chinese Approval To Sell Medical Masks In The US
As American healthcare providers and the US government struggle to acquire N95 masks, 3M has been selling them to foreign governments. This practice caught Trump’s attention prompting a presidential tweet, Thursday night, as he warned that the Minneapolis based company “will have a big price to pay!”
Now, it appears that the president has made good on this promise as he “formally invoked the Defense Production Act,” according to a Friday press release from 3M. Trump’s order has the effect of forcing 3M to prioritize America’s needs amidst the COVID-19 epidemic.
Before this official action occurred, 3M failed to comply with other White House requests involving the availability of N95s, reports the Financial Times.
You understand the material used came from Canada right?

They would not be financially supporting us if that was true, this is just piss poor management, piss poor procurement. I can't stand that anything is bought from the Chinese sources. We need to reel things in, start manufacturing more. A lot of the material that 3m uses comes from here..I remember Trump, telling 3m to not sell us masks..what a scandalous dumbf@ck
