A Chinese medical supplies company has been charging U.S. customers nearly four times its usual price for face masks that are in high demand because of the novel coronavirus pandemic, The Daily Mail reported citing a sale document.
The Hangzou, China-based company called Wehere Medical has been quoting suppliers $744 for packages containing 200 medical-grade masks that are in short supply, a Los Angeles distributor told the Mail.

Trump should immediately cut our debt $1T by telling China to eff off. Too bad, so sad. Nike, Apple and others? Sorry, you’re gonna have to eat your losses by manufacturing in China. No more business with our largest ENEMY. Cut all travel permanently with China. Put it to a vote with the American people, not our garbage representatives in Congress. They no longer represent us. MAGA

I guess they want to get their money while they still can. Because hopefully this country will never buy another thing from China after this pandemic is over!!!!!!!
"Made In America" has such a wonderful sound to it, and hopefully we will see it a lot more!!!!!

The ones we ladies make are okay but its very minimal protection. My UK nursing friends say all masks and needed equipment coming in is from China.

#6 at least the ones we are making are SOME protection. The pattern I am using is like the Olsen mask (?) and has a very nice place for a filter, whether it's a real filter, a paper towel or a tissue.

I went to my grocery store this morning. About 1/3 of the customers were wearing masks. I thought they were getting ready to rob the place.

China is our #1 enemy. Stop buying "Made in China" stuffs. Invest in AMERICA! Otherwise, the devil will continue to hold our supply chain as a hostage.

Amen, #2. Stop all trade and investment with China. The CCP is evil and our implacable enemy. If it took the Wuhan virus to wake us up to that fact, then it at least has had that silver lining.
