A commercial aircraft carrying 80 tons of gloves, masks, gowns and other medical supplies from Shanghai touched down in New York on Sunday, the first of 22 scheduled flights that White House officials say will funnel much-needed goods to the United States by early April as it battles the world’s largest coronavirus outbreak. The plane delivered 130,000 N95 masks, 1.8 million face masks and gowns, 10 million gloves and thousands of thermometers for distribution to New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, said Lizzie Litzow, a spokeswoman for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Ms. Litzow said that flights would be arriving in Chicago on Monday and in Ohio on Tuesday, and that supplies would be sent from there to other states using private-sector distribution networks.

Wait until you find out how much we paid for all of that equipment.
Didn’t we also give them equipment earlier in the year?
Trump is now ccp
It hurts. I love Trump.
He and Xi are good brothers
It’s amazing to see how everything China related is automatically tagged with negativity in the western world. Have people really seen the other side of the story? Some serious paradigm shift is needed.
There’s no need. West is sick and weak. Leave them blame.
And brainwashed by their "free" media
I don't understand, why waste precious medical resources on Americans, there are other countries to help
Agreed. US is the most powerful country. Why would they need to import stuff from a 3rd world country? Is US now weak? American ppl are smart and tough. They will be just fine.
They are beyond save. #1 virus indeed
It's no problem, only 15 people have it and it will be over soon, remember. Blame China but then need China's help .... 🤦♂️
Europe is banning masks from China because of quality issue. Avoid Chinese masks at all cost! https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-52092395
Hahaha I knew this was coming, and I happened to see the story from the other side. Basically China government provided a list of qualified medical stuff providers to Dutch, but Dutch ignored it and chose a provider from who knows where and bought a bunch of “non-medical” masks. Then Dutch started to claim those masks had quality issues and refuse to let 3rd party organizations to test their quality. In that case, they can refuse to pay the rest of the payment.

Please do avoid!
Who said we didn’t need face masks?
WHO, CDC
They probably saw people fighting over toilet paper and thought, “JFC, we can’t tell these people they need masks.”
How much is the tariff for them?
As much as the tax you are willing to pay.
That doesn’t seem like very many masks given Silicon Valley donated 20x that amount
Fake news. CCP is evil. I heard they kill ppl, how come they save lives? Now nytimes are bought by CCP.
