You're probably in that group who believes this is all an alien conspiracy. Sigh. Before you say even more about me, I'm not putting money on either side, just answering a question whether it's "Chinese or the Russians making up the story". The links confirmed 'accusations' are indeed from German Official, and that's it. Bonus: on Apr 6: Geisel: „Unsere Schutzmasken sind in den USA gelandet. Und das ist nicht in Ordnung“ ( “Our protective masks have landed in the United States. And that's not okay " ) https://www.bz-berlin.de/berlin/geisel-unsere-schutzmasken-sind-in-den-usa-gelandet-und-das-ist-nicht-in-ordnung 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distributors take the product and "distribute" to where they have buyers. They definitely can turn one shipment from Germany towards the US for more money. They definitely would divert shipments for money. The US customer only knows they just bought a planeload of masks, not that they took masks away from the Germans. That's what's been going on. But apparently the Germans know.....................anyway COVID-19 is showing that most countries need to be more self sufficient in many respects this will not be the last pandemic and the next one might require something more than a 3M mask and hand gel.

Derek B Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) With the industrial might of Germany & the USA you would think they could internally divert resources to make their own masks. Anyway we must not forget that the really urgent medical care needs should be satisfied first. The rest of us can make do with a Tee shirt. I see many examples of Thais with a sense of purpose making there own masks - probably the same the world over now - no one waiting for Gov to supply. PS. Does USA still have import tax on 3M masks made in China? Edited April 9, 2020 by Derek B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what has this "post" to do with the topic? Or should we discuss the lying and cheating US airplane manufactors, using passengers as beta testers? Fact is, the masks were ordered and payed by the Berlin Police Force, then they disappeared at Bangkok airport and made their way to the US. Surely a coincidence.
