... and what was that? Get a N95 mask? They were generally not available to the public at the time.

A year ago both the USA and Canada had insufficient domestic production capacity and most N95 masks were imported from China. What local stockpiles that were available were limited to front line responders.

Now a year later and thanks in no small part to President Biden's historic American Rescue plan of eleven months ago, the USA has vastly increased it's domestic capacity to produce all forms of PPE and N95 masks.

In fact, President Biden announced this week that all Americas will be soon mailed a N95 mask at no charge.

China made N95 are labeled Kn95.
There was shortage at first due to Covid spores detected in their masks, same with the test kits from China.

Florida on Friday reported its biggest COVID-19 death spike since the Thanksgiving holiday.

Florida logged 470 more viral fatalities among residents statewide in the past week, health officials reported Friday, the biggest seven-day increase since Nov. 26 Deaths can take weeks to be processed and make their way into state statistics.

The state's death toll stands at 63,158 residents. Florida's Health Department in June stopped publishing the number of nonresidents who died after testing positive here. Tourist season is in full swing.

There was a shortage at first because of overwhelming global demand.

I bought a box of 20x KN95 masks the other day for $25.00. They were not available to myself at retail until recently.

I'm glad that you finally learned your lesson. You should have listened to Phil and slim from the beginning. Never listen to Fauci again.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

It looks like Canada's healthcare system isn't up to the challenge. They are rationing care and letting folks suffer and in some cases, die!!!

Why Canada's hospital capacity was so easily overwhelmed by the COVID pandemicCanada has fewer intensive care beds than almost anyone else in the developed world

ranked against its OECD contemporaries, Canada currently comes fourth last in terms of intensive care beds available per capita (only Chile, Sweden and Colombia ranked lower). Canada had just 1.97 ICU beds for every 100,000 residents. The top-ranked country, Japan, had 7.74 beds per 100,000.


A 2017 OECD ranking also found that Canada was one of the countries least likely to have an acute care bed available for use. Even before COVID-19, 91.6 per cent of Canadian acute care beds already had someone in them, a rate that was worse only in Israel and Ireland. In the U.S., average occupancy rate on acute care beds was just 64 per cent. In the U.K. it was 84.3 per cent.

That's socialized medicine for you folks. Just say no.

Before COVID closed borders and shutdown most elective surgery everywhere, Canadians used to come to the US to avoid having to wait months sometimes even years to get an appointment with a surgeon.

...

Canada's single-payer healthcare system forced over 1 million patients to wait for necessary medical treatments last year. That's an all-time record.


Those long wait times were more than just a nuisance; they cost patients $1.9 billion in lost wages, according to a new report by the Fraser Institute, a Vancouver-based think-tank.


Lengthy treatment delays are the norm in Canada and other single-payer nations, which ration care to keep costs down. Yet more and more Democratic leaders are pushing for a single-payer system -- and more and more voters are clamoring for one.

I'm glad I didn't.. especially since Omnicron is nothing more than a cold, but the MSM fear factory is still in high gear.

It wouldn't matter if covid was killing one out of every two people he is so entrenched it wouldn't make a difference in his choice.

Not according to world wide doctors.
