Healthcare professionals: "This is a disaster." tRump gives N95 masks to ICE, not hospitals.

44. I have to wear n95 masks everyday to do my work on my farm

as I have huge lung problems aggravated by dust. So I keep many boxes of them. And I am glad that I do have them, because I need them. These are for dust, not medical purposes. But they just have two elastic bands. They keep the dust out fine. I also have cloth ones that I wear at times because they are more comfortable. But I can really feel the difference in my breathing when I go back to the N95’s. Plus a lot of people got them for the smoke from all the wildfires. What I an not get my head around it why the heck aren’t they ramping up production of these things? I know that is a separate concept.

I think that the N95’s that are sold at hardware stores and ag supply stores ( they are standard safety equipment for lots of professions) are not the same as what medical people use.

I used to just wear my masks only at the farm, but now I keep it on when going out in public. And I am grateful that I have them.
