MyPillow Making Face Masks for Hospitals During Coronavirus Pandemic

[Brietbart] MyPillow, the Minnesota manufacturer of specialty pillows, linens, and other household products, said that it is answering the call for more face masks as the country continues to deal with the global coronavirus pandemic.

The company announced Tuesday on Twitter that it is making face masks for hospitals across the country. MyPillow joins a growing list of private companies pitching in to address the shortage of face masks that U.S. healthcare professionals are facing as the number of COVID-19 cases continues to climb.

It remains unclear what kind of face mask MyPillow is making. Healthcare professionals are asking for the N95 respirator mask, which are in short supply around the country. The N95 face mask provides a more snug fit than other kinds of surgical masks, providing better protection from airborne pathogens.

A MyPillow spokesperson didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Companies including 3M and Honeywell are set to manufacture millions of additional N95 respirator masks to protect doctors, nurses and other health care workers who are treating patients with coronavirus. Apple CEO Tim Cook recently said his company will donate millions of face masks to the U.S. and Europe.

#3 I believe Mike Rowe had an interview the other day in which he said "we’re going to see what capitalism is really all about" and talked about how corporations can do what governments can't.

#4 Go back and check all the companies that quickly switched from consumer products to making war materials in 1942. It's interesting to see whose name is on some of those combat items.

#9 My concern is that the bureaurats will use this as an excuse by making the perfect the enemy of the good.

If mask A is the best but mask B is 80% as good and you can get masks B faster............
