    Canadian Planes, Sent to China for Medical Supplies, Return Empty

    Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau announced Tuesday that two planes sent to pick up medical supplies in China were forced to return empty.

    “Unfortunately, the planes had to take off in this situation without receiving their cargo deliveries,” Trudeau said at a press conference. “We have been fighting in a very competitive international environment where everyone is looking for” personal protective equipment.


    Trudeau said that buyers of PPE and other medical equipment must contend with difficult conditions on the ground in China. These include “severe restrictions” on the amount of time planes can spend grounded and vehicle-supply lines that are “difficult and interrupted by checkpoints and quarantine measures.”

    High demand for medical supplies throughout the world has put enormous pressure on competing buyers and has forced government officials to find creative solutions to obtain equipment. Maryland governor Larry Hogan, a Republican, managed to obtain thousands of coronavirus test kits for his state from South Korean labs, in a deal facilitated by his wife, Yumi, who is of South Korean descent.

    “It should not have been this difficult” to obtain the test kits, Hogan told the New York Times.

    U.S. officials have lamented the country’s dependence on various Chinese supply chains for vital supplies amid the pandemic.


    “It is the cruelest irony that this nation is now dependent on China for many of these products,” New York governor Andrew Cuomo said at the beginning of April. “Gowns and gloves are not complicated components to manufacture.”

    I have been ,,, as I'm sure 99.999 % of you guys also ,,, have been saying this for years ,, that we should not be relying on foreign countries for our supplies , especially emergency and critical supplies ,,, and especially from countries that would just as soon own us ,, as even deal with us. I never thought this to be a good idea myself ,, but noone conferred with me when this decision was made. But ,, I know this was a decision made to distribute wealth to other countries ,, and line the pockets of corporate America with cash,, and save us a few dollars along the way. But ,, maybe someone smarter than me can tell me who ,, and when ,, this decision was made to risk our safety to a foreign adversary. Who actually was the 1st person that decided this was of great benefit to us as a country ??

    Seems to me that a great deal of equipment and PPEs can be run through an irradiator and reused rather than using once and throwing it away.
