I should slap you silly for saying that with the'j' word in it Brad.
If masks are going to be delivered to the nurses, a trucker is going to do it.
It took 108 semiloads of hospital gear to get the 1000 bed Army hospital installed into Javitt Center NYC last week and those trucks didn't drive themselves.
Ventilators don't have wings..truckers take them where they are needed.
FEMA and Veteran's Administration hospital equipment is moving where it's needed all over the country, by truck.
2 & 3 weeks ago, grocery shelves were empty...not the case anymore and they didn't get filled by helicopters.
Don't ever again in any context, say "I'm just a truck driver."

And then there's this


Ain't forgot this either..

The advertisement sector of our economy is doing a booming business. Including those making signs and other notices.

There is money left on the table.





All those masks could be billboards / advertisement.

quote Originally posted by Hudini: As I understand it, masks are not to protect you. They are to protect everyone FROM you. This is sneezing into your elbow or coughing into your coat. It's to keep micro droplets of your spittle from being inhaled or landing on surfaces to later be picked up. Don't poopoo all masks or people who wear one.

Yep N95 or better protects you. The rest mainly keep your breath and spit from flying out.
The other thing is without eye protection you aren't protected.

My step son added a pocket to his batch. Full length side opening. He then bought HEPA filters to bolster protection.
