Meanwhile apparently China has donated 1,000 ventilators to New York. And Oregon sent 140 as well...perhaps Oregon and China should focus solely on their own, instead of donating medical supplies to different places...

Oregon is part of the US last I looked.And we sent loads of masks and ventilators to China when the virus hit them.Now we are short because of our generosity.
https://www.motherjones.com/coronavirus ... reat-here/ So all this hating on the US for wanting to take care of our hospital workers but no one says one word about India deciding not to export medicine to other countries.
I don’t blame them one bit.They have a huge population to take care of.
Yes I know that about Oregon they still donated to a different state. Also apparently China is donating supplies back my point is its good if different states help other states that are more in need and that countries who have supplies should share those with the rest of the world so hopefully the world can get through this.
I have no hating on the U.S for wanting to take care of our hospital workers, I just don't see how telling a company who has been supplying masks to Canada and South America to cease sending anything to those places and only manufacture for the U.S. translates to protecting our medical workers. They can still make domestic products and some to export, I don't see the problem. I mean world trade is kind of intertwined different countries need each other to manufacture necessary products. Also the U.S isn't the only place with hospital workers who need protection the whole world needs protection for medical workers...as hard as it may be for some people to consider american lives actually in the grand scheme of things are not actually worth more than non american lives.
