Dear @3M, thank you for increasing your production of N95 Masks. No one knows better than your CEO, Mike Roman, that every discussion of the response to the CoronaVirus starts with our healthcare professionals and every discussion https://twitter.com/3M/status/1241070785579679744

with healthcare first responders starts with a dramatic plea for more N95 masks and respirators. Why ? No one is asking you to perform supply chain miracles. The question is why are you not communicating with the country about what is actually happening in the market ?

I get 10 emails a day asking if I want to buy N95s. Every news show has a story about 3D printing or seamstresses trying to make masks. Yet there are no interviews with Mike Roman telling us the facts and what 3m is doing with the 100m masks you are making

Why ? I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that a significant amount of stress we the people are facing right now is a direct result of the panic we see among our beloved healthcare first responders who are facing increasing risks to their lives every time they provide care

to a patient. We don't expect miracle production of masks. What we do want is information. What we do want is the media to be able to ask u questions so we and our healthcare providers all understand the circumstances. Facts and honesty are in short supply

Heroes are made when circumstances are most dire. Mike Roman, reach out to other manufacturers of PPE , come together and talk to us. Tell us the facts. Tell us the path you see. Be a Hero, not a Ghost. I'm happy to help communicate any message or help in any way you need me.
