So, Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, took his jet to China and purchased a million of the impossible to get N95 masks and other medical equipment for hospitals in Boston. The plane is enroute back home now scheduled to land in Boston this afternoon.
He also purchased 300,000 of the masks for NY State and they will be flown to NY from Boston tomorrow.
Why the **** can't our federal government do this ? Why do we have hospital workers getting sick and dying all across the country because of a lack of these masks when it is now obvious that it can be done ? Why aren't there plane loads of this stuff in the air right now on the way to other major U.S. cities?
Yea, the hospital where my friend's working has a Chinese immigrant resident studying in the US and her parents have been, on their pwn dime, shipping assloads of PPE to her so she can distribute them at work. I'm getting shipped hundreds from China and Taiwan and distributing them to my friend's hospital.
The response of this government has been ridiculous.

China is a very real and significant threat to the global community. Confronting that threat is not racist.
Nobody is arguing that the Chinese CCP gov't is a problem and shouldn't be confronted.
We are talking about racial incidents against people, notably Asians in America, who have about as much to do with the virus as white people today have with Slavery.
Can't people agree that you should't go assaulting innocent people and be done with it? Why this huge,..'but' the Chinese gov't this and that.

Lets be honest here, a racist cannot tell the difference between, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, etc. All they know if their eyes are slanted then they fit the profile to be racist against. The remainder of the year will be really bad for all Asians no matter the ethnicity. I dont want to say it but Asian is the new Black, and the black community most likely will not step in and help them through this due to when blacks were having racist issues the Asian community pulled themselves away and stuck with their own and if the black community do help right after it passes they will go back and stick to their own.

Cuomo said the apex will be in 7-30 days depending on how effective social distancing has been. He says he believes it will be closer to the shorter limit.
“You look to see in Nassau County 1,000 new cases, Suffolk County 1,141 new cases. That is troubling news,” Cuomo said Thursday at a press conference in Albany, referring to the two counties that comprise Long Island. Suffolk County is home to the Hamptons, the wealthy playground for Manhattan’s rich.

The neighborhood's population is the most badly affected in New York City
My niece got stopped by the cops with her NY plates on the Garden State Parkway Tuesday. She lives in Rockland County.
Don't get that one. NJ is almost as infected as you are.
