Why just the US? They’ve stood by and seen other countries struggle.. shame on them
This was a post from Tim Cook, not VP Pence, saying that they've sourced 10,000,000 of them.Pence confused the total number from all tech companies combined with Apple's share. It's 9 million total, not simply from Apple. IIRC from a couple days ago, Apple's share is 2 million masks. FB 720,000.
Hmmm....perhaps the hospitals have a shortage because Apple bought over 9 million units.
I figured given the nature of the post, he might be curious to see the first few comments, but point well taken.You can’t assume that he reads every comment on every main page article. Try using {@} before the username to ping him directly to read your question.

No, these were stockpiled as required because of the smoke situation due to wildfires in the region around Silicon Valley the last couple of years. Hospitals could have stockpiled masks for 2 years, too, if they wanted to."Sourcing" masks doesn't mean there are now more masks in the world. They just bought masks that some health provider would have bought otherwise. Robbing Peter to pay Paul …
Better use the money to help factories ramp up production. We desperately need more production capacity, quick!

There's some differences particularly in that the nicer industrial ones have an exhale valve that makes the mask last longer and more comfortable by bypassing the filtration but obviously ruins biological isolation. Kind of ironic if you spent the extra cash for worker comfort.
There's actually three types: industrial N95, surgical masks, and surgical N95. The latter is the combination of both.
