19 min ago Vice President Pence says more masks and ventilators coming From CNN's Sarah Westwood Vice President Mike Pence discussed the administration’s efforts to secure more masks for health care workers as well as more ventilators for sick Americans who may need treatment. “We continue at the President’s direction to pursue every means to expand the supply of personal protective equipment,” Pence said. “We have a policy of procuring, allocating — as well as conserving — the resources that we have in our system,” he said. Pence teased a “a major procurement from the federal government of N95 masks” coming over the weekend. He also highlighted “new alternatives to increase the supply of ventilators” in the US amid fears that the health care system does not have enough to keep alive the number of Americans likely to become seriously ill at the height of an outbreak. Pence said part of those efforts involve a push to “free up other ventilators” in use in the system. “We’ve literally identified tens of thousands of existing ventilators that can be retrofitted and converted” to help coronavirus patients Pence said. As part of the concerns about insufficient ventilators, Pence said “we want to continue to urge every American… postpone elective medical procedures.”

普通民众什么时候能从超市买到口罩？
两个礼拜之后？一个月之后？两个月之后？
lz之前囤了一些，陆陆续续送了不少给需要的人。
现在家里的口罩越来越少，有点慌。
lz也开始考虑从中国买了。
天猫/京东上很多啊。。买了寄过来就好了，还是蛮方便的。。
因为口罩可以防止绝大多数飞沫直接进入呼吸道和口腔，口罩也能挡住不自知的无症状带毒者喷出大量病毒到周围环境。
我妈收到我网上订的还可以，哎，能够寄过来就先寄过来。
同意， 红色字体是重点，其实不止无症状的，连感染着也可以预防。
其实看看很多人不戴口罩还当众咳嗽打喷嚏就知道多严重了。
按照现在的情况，普通民众 就靠 6feet代替口罩了。
医疗这块，由于industrial的N95全力供应医疗，按pence说的，明尼苏达月产35million加墨西哥的供应，应该问题不大了。
明尼苏达的35million口罩是pence访问后生产的，昨天说的 已经 可以发给医疗单位了。
15w。如果是打算捐赠的话，扣了用到刀刃上也合适
对啊。几天就到了。国内现在发愁口罩卖不出呢。很多做服饰的，都转做口罩了。一个月前缺，现在真不缺。
万一生病了，你和总统的待遇可不一样哦。
