No It's not a liberty ship. It's an entirely different sort of problem altogether. You can hot rivet a ship together with hand tools and sufficient people-power to form rivet teams. The face masks we need are produced in volume on automated machines, built to-order by specialized factories and workers, and have to be maintained by someone who knows the inside of a PLC from their rear end, In a sterile environment, while keeping social distance between the workers to prevent further virus spread, so you can't just sit a hundred people down at tables and have them sew these things together by hand, and even if you could, you would then need dozens more for QA testing, because repeatability on hand assembled products is usually poo poo. Americans have been so removed from factory work for so long they have forgotten how all this stuff happens.

We die because our Just-in-time manufacturing and lean and mean supply chains are not robust enough to take the simultaneous shocks of high demand, skilled labor shortage, and transport delays. But that's ok. We saved a fraction of a percent on the books by cutting down on taxable assets sitting in warehouses.

Other goons elsewhere are looking at this with skepticism because of lack of supporting reporting from other sources. Regardless it shows that poo poo is unstable in brazil.

That's an easy explanation. Dickbags in the White House ignored the looming crisis for 6+ weeks, ignored the warnings, ignored rhe NSC playbook. That was 6 weeks we had to ramp up production, stage supplies, activate ANG and state guard units, and prepare. We lost 6 weeks because of denial and incompetence. Because of that, every hospital and PPE manufacturer had to scramble when demand spiked. Because of the ongoing severe shortages of PPE at hospitals, they don't want anyone in the public buying and using actual N95s or other respirators, or half face masks, because that'll reduce the supply for our healthcare workers on the front lines, and they need it the most out of everyone. If more and more healthcare workers get sick, it decreases our ability to fight this thing. Because of this, they don't want to tell people that they should be wearing masks, even though now we pretty much know it's going to lessen the chances of you getting infected (if you use it correctly). In addition to the supply issues, they're worried about the public not using the PPE correctly - see all the videos of morons touching their masks with bare hands (a huge no no - you need to take it off by the straps around your ears), and using gloves in public but touching everything they own, etc. People are loving stupid. In short, it's a supply issue, plus they don't trust the average person to use it correctly. Bored As Fuck fucked around with this message at 09:47 on Apr 4, 2020 |
