If anyone is choosing to be personally very generous and buy masks for any NHS place ... be aware they will be taken from where you give to place of greatest perceived need. So if you're after making someone/somewhere close/dear to you safer, just give 1/2 box at a time.

Selfish ? I'd say not. If YOU give stuff, it's stuff their bigger supply chain messed up on.

The EU have been strangely silent in all this.


Hmm can be, but also can be fake news... keep that at least in mind Wink

Hi all
Am after a favour.
My wife works in a doctors surgery in Hythe Kent which is currently trying to stay open. However despite what the government are saying and what is in the press they cannot get masks.
They are down to their last few and may have to shut or work without masks if they can’t get any.

Does anyone have any contacts or know any suppliers who have some that they can buy please.
If you do please let me know and I can supply the practice managers email address via PM

Thanks in advance

Thanks all rally appreciated.

The doctors surgery is willing to buy the masks, they are not asking for them to be donated although that would be nice.
They are currently trying to stay open to help all the patients on their books as many doctors locally have shut up shop but not sure how long they will continue for if they do not get any supplies.
They have tried loads of places but all say that as they were not an existing customer they cannot help instead they want to look after their customers.

Now the CiC of the US if you want to approach him you must have a covid 19 test first.


Now 3M are an American company with plants in the US and abroad. What has the Trump done? Ordered that 3M in the US not to export any masks including to their neighbouring countries. Canada apparently does not make masks.

Quote:


A major US mask manufacturer, 3M, says the government has asked it to stop exporting US-made N95 respirator masks to Canada and Latin America.

The request had "significant humanitarian implications", it warned, and could prompt other countries to act in kind.

On Thursday, the US invoked the Korean War-era Defence Production Act to demand that 3M provide more masks.

Canada's prime minister said stopping 3M's exports would be a "mistake".

President Donald Trump said he had used the Defence Production Act to "hit 3M hard", without providing additional details. The law dates back to 1950 and allows a president to force companies to make products for national defence.

In a statement on Friday, 3M said the government had invoked the act "to require 3M to prioritise orders from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) for our N95 respirators", and had also requested that 3M import more respirators made in its overseas factories into the US. It said it supported both moves.

However, 3M added that the government also requested that it stop exporting respirators made in the US to Canada and Latin America.

"There are significant humanitarian implications of ceasing respirator supplies to healthcare workers in Canada and Latin America, where we are a critical supplier of respirators," it said.

3M added that such a move "would likely cause other countries to retaliate and do the same", which would lead to the overall number of respirators being made available to the US decreasing.

The company says it manufactures about 100 million N95 masks per month - about a third are made in the US, and the rest produced overseas.

The Trump administration has not provided details on its communications with 3M. On Thursday night, Mr Trump tweeted: "We hit 3M hard today after seeing what they were doing with their masks... Big surprise to many in government as to what they were doing - will have a big price to pay!"

Meanwhile, White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said on Thursday: "We've had issues making sure that all of the production that 3M does around the world, enough of it is coming back here."




So what is the Trump saying? America first and Censored the rest of the world. If you are an American owned facility in another country your first priority is the US.

Dare I say typical bully boy tactics?

Russell, there is an article here https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.glouces...997811.amp that talks about a GP in Cinderford in the same situation a few days ago, they have put their number in the article would it be worth seeing if they had success?

I think you need FFP3 Masks not two!


that is depending on the type of medical work you have to do i think?... as far as i know, both FFP2 and FFP3 are in use here... atleast FFP2 also for NON IC use

BUT... since i did not recieve ANY reaction on my offer, i believe the problem is solved..

despite some stories here, we DO recieve these masks if needed, within 3 or 4 working day's. nobody like customs or what so ever interferes in The Netherlands (until now...)
