3M making 10,000,000 masks a week. But are selling them to foreign countries rather than U.S. hospitals.

[Mac-7]

I read this morning the 3m plant in Europe has been ordered not to send any masks to N America, even Canada, though the plant is in UK, but considered part of the EU.

Britain is no longer under orders from the EU

But I assume they need the masks in britain

Our workers are screaming for masks and other stuff. So I don't know where these masks are going.

It appears that companies in many countries have only token production at home and have outsourced most production to china

It’s some weird arrangement, considered under EU jurisdiction, even though located in the UK.

If you say so

but it seems odd to me

Me, too. Found it again-


Hospitals in Toronto and Southwestern Ontario had relied on one 3M plant in the UK for masks and the EU ban (which still applies to the UK despite Brexit) shut down that source, according to executives at two southern Ontario hospitals.

“The U.K. plant under the European Union, they will not give North America the masks,” said Premier Doug Ford during his daily press conference Tuesday. “So, we’re doing everything we can to make sure we have a supply on hand.” 3M did not provide a comment by Wednesday afternoon.

Converting Canada’s industry to produce medical supplies won’t be easy

Export bans in Taiwan and the EU have disrupted Canada’s ability to secure surgical masks and ventilators needed to combat COVID-19. Local industry needs expertise, raw materials and, crucially, certificiation.

More proof on why we must bring back manufacturing to the United States.

This is criminal.

Yup. All business that does business with China should have their products taxed at 500%. I hope the NBA suffers from this to.
