It’s not just Massachusetts ...this is happening in other states (shocker mainly blue or purple states)
Some hospitals are taking extraordinary steps to “fly under the radar” so the Trump-Fed can’t seize their products.
And nope I’m not telling you how they are doing it... https://twitter.com/MelissaJPeltier/status/1251561851009335302

Do you remember a while back I was like;

Watch the various National Guard & State Governors - that wasn’t me being hyperbolic
So here are some examples in March 2020 MA Governor Trump’s henchmen seized:

Indiana National Guard: Medical supply shipments will be coming in

Gloves, masks, gowns and face shields are making their way to front line, and Thursday's massive shipment from the strategic national stockpile is only the beginning.

How Louisiana has shipped out millions of masks, gloves and gowns in effort to aid severe shortages

For weeks, a fleet of yellow Penske rental trucks has steadily flowed in and out of Louisiana’s state public safety compound in Baton Rouge, National Guard troops at the wheel,

BIG distinction here is this is WHY sounding the alarm, that Trump’s rage about the National Guard that he’s not their Commander in Chief.
I had the unique opportunity to be on a call in January 2020 - he didn’t know he wasn’t the XYZ State CiC of NG

With respect to private hospitals - if I were a reporter I’d contact the mega hospital conglomerates and ask have any of your shipments been seized or attempted to be seized by Trump’s-henchmen
Pretty sure that the “distributor” are the ones giving DOJ the heads up in shipments

on April 4, 2020 ...Reporters should contact

McKesson
Cardinal
Henry Schein Inc
Owens & Minor, Inc.
ask them;
-do you use Critrix to track shipments?
-have you provided anyone in the White House (cough Jared) abd/or DOJ info on large PPE shipments?

ps and there’s 0% chance I’m going to tell you how various hospital conglomerates and some Governors have managed to evade seizure by the Trump Henchmen.
They have gone through extraordinary lengths & a several firms gave legal guidance. As to ensure they are not running a foul

The federal government seized 35,000 face masks that were to be distributed to Somerset County medical workers, and nobody is quite sure where the shipment has gone.
