3M CEO: Our medical masks should not be showing up in stores

New York (CNN Business)Every respirator mask that's available right now should be going to a healthcare worker on the front lines, caring for coronavirus-infected patients. They should not be sold in stores to consumers, said 3M CEO Mike Roman in a CNBC interview Monday.

3M is the largest maker of medical face masks, specifically the N95 respirator mask.

Hospitals nationwide are facing an acute shortage of PPE (personal protective equipment) such as N95 masks, gloves and surgical gowns amid the coronavirus pandemic. In the United States, more than 38,000 Americans have been infected across all 50 states, and at least 414 people have died.

In light of this desperate need, Roman said 3M's N95 masks should not be showing up in stores, he told CNBC.

4. I wonder if Ivanka will be too vain to wear a mask?

Maybe she can get a Chinese patent & create designer masks. She'd make a tidy profit out of a catastrophe!
I wish her old man would wear a complete coverage mask so we don't have to look at him.
