doesnt work that way. We want them, they are ours. Sorry to bring reality into the picture. But the USA is at war and its what we want that counts.

Well, with the masks it worked that way.

If someone will pay better for the ventilators, I hope the German company will say: "who pays more will get them". Or if the German government ask for them - "Germany first". Not only the US are at war against the virus.

This might be the direct result of invoking the Defense Production Act? This Act requires American Companies(3M is an American Company but does not act like it) to produce items at the order of US Government.  Also, 3M or it’s authorized distributors rejected a request from the State of Florida for N95 Masks and instead sold them to a foreign country at a higher price?  Of course this is allged  to have occurred.  It depends on who you talk.  The CEO of 3M did not explicitly deny this when he was interviewed on the Fox Business Channel.  

 

This might just be the beginning of tensions between nations for PPE(Personal Protective Equipment) as the war against Covid 19 continues.  Now back to Socially Isolating.

I honestly feel that the German administration has some honour to it, and not welch on the agreement, more than can be said for another administration of self agrandisment, and self interest.

 

Right, fairness/contractual compliance and "my country first" do not fit together. But the rest of the world will remember the acting of the US for a long time, for decades after Trump´s time.

Ah right, so your Country was ordering them for the Police and medical personnel for what reason?

Because medics and police come into close contact with infected, much closer than you or I would on a stroll to Makro.

 

There have been reports of people spitting on police, like in the UK.

 

Wieler has also suggested that whilst there is no scientific evidence that proves that mask protect others from the virus (Fremdschutz) he did think it was likely on the basis of common sense. 

 

I understand some German states, like Austria, have put in place mandatory mask rules.

 

This is not the position of the German government.

Either way this will make the US very unpopular globally. 3M the largest producer of masks is now only supposed to produce for the USA? Everybody needs the masks, what will the world think of the US if it acts in this way?

 

If they would play Draeger, like Philips, and require all masks be for the US, I doubt in the long term Draeger would stay there. Philips is no doubt considering its options as well.

Im one of those Americans with long  memories that care not one whit what Germany thinks.

Or anyone else in the world, outside planet USA. I too have a long memory and remember how the US stole the patent for the jet engine from the UK. Bloody thieves, worse than Aussies or Scousers.

It may have escaped you as pointed out in other threads,  Austria is not Germany. It remains a separate country

i am bored with corona. People die,the economy is terrible.

 

Want do everything so it finish quickly.

 

i google The Mask Crusader. Look like can be Batman or Zorro?

 

They wear it wrong. Not cover the mouth.

 

thailand, China fight/corruption about mask before.

Now Germany/USA. 

Mask Wars!

Yes, you do seem to dig up anything that "farangs" are doing...As you are a Thai bird, why not tell us about your countries dug up doings....?

[Anaelle]

It's even worse than that: I bought my surgery masks boxes and chirurgical gloves directly from China and the seller told me that DHL, UPS and Fedex refuse to send packs (with masks) to EU (I live in France), probably to give more chances to the US to get them first! So I got them shipped by EMS instead. It takes just a longer time to arrive, but at least I've got them!

Germany has done the same with Italy! ????

iirc it was not about ownership of the factory but since it is on american soil Trump can and will use some ancient law that now in emergency he can claim the produce of this factory.

 

I also read that italian car companies now are building ventilators, car wiper motors seem to be excellent for that function and many car companies make them now.

I bet the Ferrari ventilator goes like f@##!!

Mask totally unimportant. 

 

Does nothing.

 

Testing and isolating the infected is important.

 

I will not wear a mask.

I live in France (THANKS GOD!) and the gouvernement has taken all the right decisions, plus unlike in US, we are ALL covered by state insurance! NO ONE pays for hospitals or for treatments. Confined people that cannot work are getting PAID anyway 80% of their wages by their employers and the State has released money to save companies...

If you really want to talk about weak leaders and "no skin" in the game... look Ovest to the US... There, NO WORK = no wage at all, and NO medical insurrance! They are going to be one of the country who will suffer most this situation I'm afraid...
