Because occasionally you fucking morons need a quick lesson in world events that happened before say, this morning, let’s run through a few things.

Countries that have banned exports of surgical masks and supplies so far. I’m sure I’ll miss one or two, and I’m ignoring China.
S. Korea
Taiwan
Thailand
Germany
France
Romania
India
I’m sure there’s more.

Probably not in your TDS news feed.
“At one point, a French producer of masks entered into an export contract with the British gov. Then the French gov put in place what’s called a requisition order. Anything produced in a French factory has to be sold to the French gov.”

Germany intercepted a shipment of Chinese-made masks bound for Switzerland.
“They were just trans-shipping through Germany, and they got caught up in this. The Swiss went ballistic. The last I heard they were still in Germany”

“We need to keep in the EU the protective equipment we need,” Ursula von der Leyen, head of the European Commission, said in an online video message March 15. “Such medical goods can only be exported with the explicit authorization of the EU governments.”

Mölnlycke’s entire stock of an estimated six million masks was seized by the French. All contracted for, including a million masks each for France, Italy and Spain. The rest destined for Belgium, Netherlands, Portugal and Switzerland. (They seized them from Swiss co warehouse)

“A commission spokeswoman on the internal market confirmed that Germany lifted its EU internal export ban, but France “clarified that it will not prevent supply to other EU countries once internal vital needs are met.”

Idgaf what it takes, medication, group therapy, someone beating the ever loving shit out of you, whatever. Get a fucking grip and grow up.
