Trucks waiting for masks

Patrick reports: "Looks like the mask calvary is here at Logan!"

At 4:36, the Patriots plane carrying the 1.2 million masks was approaching Val d'Or, Quebec.

I'd be willing to forgive about 1.8% of my animus against the Staties for the overtime abuse if they backed up this too,

National Guard can be federalized as the Kennedys showed us. Hate to be paranoid but the Federales have shown to be beyond plaid lately.

Not Doug Mirabelli

I didn’t catch it on video, but there were staties at the front and rear of the caravan.

But, Shamus, why is the city still ticketing cars? I thought they were putting that on the back burner? Thanks!

They are setting up a mask decontamination facility in Somerville or thereabouts - apparently you can heat and disinfect the masks up to five times.*

*note - "heard" this - but can't confirm the source so hopefully not fake news. Can someone confirm? From a charitable trust named Battelle in Ohio? https://www.battelle.org/about-us

Good ol' American ingenuity is coming through!

Baker talked about it during his press briefing today. Partners will be installing a system that uses vaporized hydrogen peroxide to sterilize up to 80,000 masks a day.

if I understand this article correctly:

I suspect that K-Mart needs a lot of work to be sterile.

That's his style

Baker won't let him get away with it.

Charlie has to be livid now.

It wouldnt have happened without Trump - if he hadn't waited so long to wake up and realize this was so serious, not had our country prepared and then outbid states orders after telling states they are on their own.

That's their style.

Angry Charlie will take a new place in Massachusetts politics once this ends. Mark my words. It wasn’t about Devolve (back when the moniker began); it was and is about shitty MANAGEMENT. The guy MANAGES well, as did Mittens. Chuck wasn’t supposed to be a leader, but maybe he actually is?

If 45 got 25thed, the Republican National Committee would have a plausible force-majeure reason to exclude him and Pence from the ballot in November. 45 for getting 25thed, and 46 for taking so long to 25th him.

And then they would have a free hand with which to nominate Charlie Baker and have a chance to still have a Republican Party exist in a few years.

More likely, hwoever, the spineless maggots will follow Trump to the dungheap.

Wording can always make the difference.

They are not Chinese masks, they are masks made in China; which is an entirely different thing.

The coronavirus is not a Chinese disease, it appears China is the country in which everybody became alerted to this disease.

Wordings can make an incredibly difference when describing a situation based on Origin or race and all those others protect by law.

I wouldn't call Hot burn, an Italian heartburn, the Irish heartburn, it's just an heartburn or Jamaican heartburn, it's just a hot burn.
