I agree, we need to start production of your own essential equipment

I thought I saw a report a few weeks ago , that France were not ship supplies abroad they were keeping.
Mask and Personal Protection Equipment appears short in most countries. Including the great USA, some are reported wearing cloth bandanas.

I only caught a segment of the President of the EU making that declaration a while ago, about medical equipment wont be leaving any of the EU - i thought hmmmm, we are gonna be in trouble! - even though we are half in half out - they hate us and I bet they wont lift a finger to assist us any more! - if this story is true, then we are indeed in trouble, we manufacture very little ourselves. Its a deep concern.

News item... Surgical Masks stopped at border..... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...-filled-130-000-face-masks-bound-Britain.html

Masks are a waste of money if you keep up social distancing. The thing about masks is that folk tend to have to fiddle with them to keep them in place, thus touching their face, which is a definite no no if you are out and about.

Think these were destined to be used in the nhs , Doctors & Nurses not for public sale. As you say Mikey waste of time for general public. This was reported in the Mail.
