Is he accusing hospitals of flipping medical supplies for profit?

Trump noted suspiciously that hospitals are now asking for many more masks than they used to, before the coronavirus appeared. “How do you go from [10,000] to 20,000 masks [prior to the pandemic] — to 300,000…” he said, “Something’s going on. And you ought to look into it as reporters. Where are the masks going? Are they going out the back door?

Perhaps it’s the same way you go from 15 cases to 150,000 in a few weeks. Does he not realize the longer he waits to do something, the bigger that something will have to be?

More than just that. Masks are NOT supposed to be reused!!!

You take it off then you absolutely should get a new one.

I suppose he doesn't expect people to eat or drink anything all day! That's just a minimum of three a day and many of those working are on 10 to 12 hour shifts.

@DeWayfarer In Ohio someone has come uop with a method of rsanitizing used masks. They figure they can turn around nearly 200,00 masks daily. Between that and newly produced ones the governor hopes to resolve the shortage of masks - at least in Ohio.

I bet if it works out, the process will be shared so others can follow suit.

@Budwick perhaps. Yet more could be done if false accusations where not made all the time. 😔

@DeWayfarer Perhaps? I heard the governor talking about it today!
Not perhaps.

I don't appreciate false accusations either.
I don't know how they would affect things actually being done.
The people working on this are motivated by need, not by cheer-leading.

@Budwick every state has different standards. That is why I say perhaps. I believe Germany also came up with something. Yet again standards.
