About 22,000 surgical masks shipped from the federal government's strategic national stockpile to the University of Michigan in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic are not usable, and have had to be removed from Michigan Medicine's inventory.

Mary Masson, a spokeswoman for the Ann Arbor-based health system, said a shipment of 22,000 ear-loop surgical masks arrived last week from the federal stockpile, which was created to boost state and local supplies during public health emergencies.

About 2,000 of the masks were distributed to health care workers, Masson said, but "we found them to be less durable and so have removed as many as possible from inventory and are not distributing the rest.

9. "Why can't these governors be thankful for what we sent them?"

"They ask for masks we gave them masks...next time maybe they'll be more appreciative and we'll get them the non-expired ones."

Smdh...this is the reality we're all living through
