Did America send ANY aid to countries affected by C-19?

I have done a few online searches and I don't see that the US helped ANYONE.

I did find that China was helping, a lot. Europe is helping.
Russia is helping Italy.

1. Yes, there was stuff going to China earlier on DU. I didn't search for it, you can do it yourself.

3. Glad to hear it.

So, the US helped China. I will see what I can find.

2. Apparently 45 sent tons of equipment to China on Feb. 7th

You know, when it was a hoax.

4. Back in February douche nozzle Pompeo sent PPE equipment to China and didn't replenish.

6. Would you take HELP from Donald J. Trump & his merry band of grifting whatevers right now?

7. The U.S. government "facilitated" transportation of materials donated by private parties

There is no evidence that anything was taken from the national stockpile and given to China.

Keep in mind China was cranking out 20 million N95 masks PER DAY at the time of the Wuhan outbreak. They had plenty of stuff on hand in their hospitals.

8. Wow. Thanks.

I don't think that is being told in the media. I don't monitor all the C-19 news however, it is too much for me.

So, private parties have stepped up, good.

I think of Italy and Spain. They need help and are asking for it. The trump WH won't even help their own country, so I am not surprised to see so little is being done.

I recall watching a video on Facebook last week.

On Tuesday, Trump spoke by phone with the South Korean president, Moon Jae-in, asking if his country could supply medical equipment.
The official White House account made no mention of the request, but according to the South Korean presidency, the Blue House, the call was made at Trump’s “urgent request”.
Trump praised the South Korean testing programme, which has helped contain the outbreak there. Moon told Trump that he would support South Korean exports of critical supplies to the US “if there is a domestic surplus”.


Foreign Policy reported that the third-ranking diplomat in the state department, David Hale, had asked for a list of countries that might be able to sell “critical medical supplies and equipment” to the US.
“Depending on critical needs, the United States could seek to purchase many of these items in the hundreds of millions with purchases of higher end equipment such as ventilators in the hundreds of thousands,” an email sent to embassies in Europe and Eurasia said.
The email underlined that the request applied to host countries “minus Moscow
