Companies Step In To Manufacture Much-Needed Medical Supplies | NBC Nightly News

Buy cheap from China……..What could go wrong ????????
The prime example of what happens when you depend on other countries start making stuff in the United States for next time make enough of it for everybody you’re to be commended for using and reusing the same product over and over again instead of throwing them away for so many years reviews of products makes a lot of sense don’t get it twisted come on man
Why was this not done months ago?
Good.
So complain helps we have to make them it will take time this lady knows try to help stop complaining if there were avaible you have then called supply and demand
👎Shame on do nothing Nancy Pelosi dragging her feet again accomplishing nothing for Americans suffering with coronavirus. Speaker Pelosi is a perfect example why we need term limits. She’s political and selfish on everything because she hates President Trump and wants him to fail. If President Trump fails we all fail Nancy Pelosi you angry selfish woman. Work with both sides of the aisle or retire and check into a retirement home. Remember yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a present. So do something Americans demand it.
Because the politicians are using this to push agendas not actually do the work. In the time of a national crisis politicians aren't supposed to be in charge of the day to day activities on the ground. Just like in a war the politicians aren't the ones driving the tanks and shooting the guns. There should be someone in the equivalent of a general or general staff at the national level driving this, not politicians.
All you need to distribute the supplies is a network of warehouses all over the country near airports and highways. These can easily be leased by the Feds. Then you decide what goes in those warehouses based on the emergency. Do you need food? Water? Medical Equipment? Decontamination Equipment or whatever. Then every day there is a roll up of demand across each state in terms of what is needed in each state and each state would have a similar supply network within the state. Manufacturers deliver to the federal warehouses and then those distribute to the states and then from there it goes where it is needed. If the US Military can set up supply chains in war zones around the world with no infrastructure, then there is absolutely no reason why they cannot do it in the US with all the infrastructure intact and in place.
But at this point they are more worried about bailing out banks and companies that are sitting doing nothing versus paying the money required to set up the distribution network and coordinate delivery. In WWII the bail out was spent on mobilizing manpower and equipment to actually do stuff not sit on their behinds.
Nurses and doctors needs masks and all safety gears, their replacement in time. Don't make things more worse. I can't belive they are running short in USA.
Liar 🤥 Liar 🤥 Liar 🤥 Liar 🤥
Unfortunately Josiah Hall these political representatives
&
Media representatives
ARE ACTORS
merely reading the teleprompter
fulfilling whatever scripted narrative put before them to broadcast…
Unfortunately…
Media representatives
Political representatives
Are representatives to people who are actively leveraging or blackmailing the representatives into their agendas.
That is what make America so great…that the spirit..of business ..coming together..in a time of survival !!🌟✨💥🌹
Censorship or keep spreading fear – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1uE_c0KRrs
Bad news! Fake old news.
The Good News…Christ died for you, loves you, has a plan for you. Believe in Him and you will receive everlasting life. All these things must take place first. You can read all about the end times in His book. The Holy Bible.
About time people wake up and help one another God Bless us all !!!
Looks like NY is receiving troops as well.
Missiles in world war II? You mean bombs?
Everyone be kind to one another and help each other through this hard time. It's going to be. Along road back to normal, sending love out to the world right now ❤️
Don't we get those masks from China, I guess we burnt that bridge. Going forward we need to promote and give more loans to our small businesses instead of turning them down for a loan. I am currently sewing as many masks as I can to help.
Critical need hospitals. President Trump open your hotels as hospitals. Why wait for tents and other alternatives when you supposedly own hotels the world over. Besides, your hotels will be reimbursed in the billions by the US government.
Bro let's all just grow gills and moved into Nemo's house.
"Supply shortages" is what happens when criminals are in control, the moves taken now are too little, too late.
Together, we need to show our appreciation to these companies. These companies are stepping up to save our lives, just like the women and many others did during WW2. We need to show these companies that in times like these, if they do the right thing and not necessarily what's in their stock holder's best financial interest, that in the end, their will be great rewards from the appreciation society will show with future patronage. This might set an example for other companies to do the same.
It's not just doctors and nurses, everyone is at war
this similar to Polio outbreak where back then negative pressure type of vents were used
UV lights are great but could cause blindness. Use with caution.

It took China 10 days to build 2 hospitals. It took Trump 2 months to decide on making masks.
How did Apple get a hold of mask. Right now local and federal govt are bidding on these products to have available. I hope Apple didn’t outbid the govt so their brand can make headlines.
Are these hand sanitizers for bacteria. Yep. This is a virus. Not bacteria. Be ok if you add salt to the sanitizer. Otherwise it's worthless. Keep a big bowl of salt water and lemon in your sink. Use as needed. Good advice from a hospice doctor when I was taking care of a patient with AIDS.
Ventilators made in the U.S. with parts that last, Thank you American Manufacturing !
long overdue 🤦🏽♀️
lessons learned:
-PRIVATE SECTOR comes thru!
-SMALL BIZ is backbone of the US
-CLOSING BORDERS keep us safe
-DEPENDENCE on China=bad
-MANUFACTURING in the USA=good
-FEAR MONGERING=bad
-AMERICA FIRST
China separated the coronavirus patients into a separate hospital. And the rest of the people that needed help into another hospital. That would cut down on the amount of mask, ect for the workers working with these coronavirus patients. Makes a lot of sense to this retired nurse.
Not once has Trump set foot in any hospital or talked to those working on hospital wards.
He expects medical staff to compensate for his failures, without adequate equipment and without proper protective clothing, as he brags about what a great job he's doing. Utterly despicable.
It's incomprensible the mighty USA is not prepared with basic PPE to fight a pandemic war!
Too bad I see so many sites that say Trumps coronavirus info. I will never watch anything that has to do with Trump. I'm a nurse. Trump is a moron and liar in the first degree.
stop the trade war with china. help will come
This is everyone’s Wor. If you wouldn’t send our troops into battle without bullets. Why would you send doctors, nurses, support people from house keepers threw techs without gloves and masks?
Remember when the media told us masks wont protect anyone?
WE NEED TO MAKE VENTILATORS
I bet the reason why your are seeing younger people is we all saw the statistics from china. Under 50 very low risk relatively. Those people continued to go out a lot. The older stayed in etc. Took more precautions. Plus people cant afford to not work until they are forced to. That combined with the public transportation system and crowded environment created a lot more problems. Likely the Virus is aerosolized at least somewhat and they just kept peddling the just wash your hand don't touch your face. Obviously its spreading much easier than that.
If you need a face mask, just use coffee filters, rubber bands for your ears and a stapler and make your own…….. They are cheap and they work…..just a suggestion…….. Overcome Adapt America…..
More people were killed building WWII missiles than were hit by them. The V-2 was not a successful weapon for Germany!
this is insane to think we aren't prepared for anything like this… how can that be possible after SARS?
Vanessa Hudgens WITH HER STUPID Remarks About People Dying Should Get Off The Planet. Celebrities ARE NOT HEROES. Doctors and Nurses Are
"what missiles were to WW2" yeah except they were invented toward the end, and weren't ever built in any significant numbers. Bombs is a better analogy.
