austria, our neighbor to the east, and one who also has a border to italy was way ahead of us. they closed the italian border much sooner and have been quicker to act on a lot of things, like this. they are still telling us here that masks don't do anything. they also don't have enough it seems, and to make it worse, mask shipments we were expecting are being "held up" in germany and france at customs.

thanks spritzer. stay safe.
