[quote:Anonymous Coward 77374864:MV80MzM3Mjg2Xzc4OTU3ODkyXzVGMkQxQ0RF] [quote:Daniel Higdon:MV80MzM3Mjg2Xzc4OTU3NDgxX0Q2MjU4NTQx] Oh hell. Some of the masks are actually here in the US and are being shipped out to other countries: [b]I Spent A Day In The Coronavirus-Driven Feeding Frenzy Of N95 Mask Sellers And Buyers And This Is What I Learned[/b] [i]At one point he received an update that 43 million masks were available in New Jersey, in the same time-frame that federal and state leaders were saying in press conferences that they were “scouring the globe” for masks. But the masks in New Jersey, along with many million more, didn’t go to any domestic buyer. Instead, according to the broker, they were all purchased by foreign buyers. [/i] <snip> [i]By the end of the day, roughly 280 million masks from warehouses around the U.S. had been purchased by foreign buyers and were earmarked to leave the country, according to the broker — and that was in one day.[/i] https://www.forbes.com/sites/daviddisalvo/2020/03/30/i-spent-a-day-in-the-coronavirus-driven-feeding-frenzy-of-n95-mask-sellers-and-buyers-and-this-is-what-i-learned/#528536ae56d4 [/quote] It reads like none of those masks were owned by 3M anymore, but had been sold by them to others BEFORE the rush began. Private inventory being sold by private owners that had been purchased by them before the rush began ... not sure what 3M can do about that since they don't own the product anymore and are unlikely to even know where it is physically located. [b]OH ... but let's blame 3M [/b]because entities that bought the masks previously, which were then picked up by those buyers at 3M's factory or warehouse and moved to their own warehouse, are now selling them. Sell your car ... and 6 months later YOU get sued because the NEW owner drove it while drunk and killed someone ... is the same logic as blaming 3M for those third parties selling stuff that they, not 3M, own. The world has gone crazy!! [/quote]

So what the hell? 3M is not selling to the US. Jared Moskowitz is on Tucker Carlson telling how 3M won't sell to the US.
Apparently he has mentioned this on his twitter. Going to look for a link now.
