Hi Andy,
1) Thank you for sending masks!
2) Big discussions on this topic.
To get an idea you can start out with this twitter:
Jeremy #Masks4All (@jeremyphoward) | Twitter
Jeremy howard ( the twitter account holder ) has recently pushed hard to give out some very good scientific references to support the need for "masks for all" movement. ( he is a data / AI scientist sort of professional - so big on data backing the ideas )
EU countries of Czech, Austria, and Bulgaria have already learned from Asia ( China ( PRC, ROC ), HK, South Korea ) and are implementing masks in public requirement.
In the USA big push now by individuals. I believe they will be successful, Trump and CDC and NIH already discussing this in public as a maybe. imho it may just be a few days before you see this required in cities in the USA. ( the States and Cities have power to require even if the Federal / National government does not )
Yes, i watched the news, VERY BAD and Chinese gov stopped the masks export now for those suppliers don't have license. At the first stage lots of masks without any licenses shipped out, most of them are with very bad quality and fake. So that is why i told guys here i will not do this kind of business for bulk purchasing, but i can help buy masks at local pharmacy, qty not big, each day 400-600pcs, have to go to many shops to buy them. Most masks online are fake, please don't buy if they don't have the standard that I list!
Thanks god, our first 1000pcs N95 shipped to US delivered, we helped a hospital purchasing, their feedback is good, real ones.
I also donated some gloves and pairs of glasses to them.
I will try my best to help people as much as we can. I will try to donate some masks again next week.
China will arrest the fake suppliers from April.1st.
Here are the docs that the customs require now for masks exporting which starts from April.1st.
