I wonder how many of those masks will come from that company which was awarded the $55m contract, despite having no experience making masks, or any expertise making masks, or even any employees on their payroll?

Maybe China will send back a couple of those tons of PPE the Trump Administration sent to them.

My wife sewed about 10 masks to send to her son (E-9) stationed at Wright Patterson currently on orders to go to Washington, D.C. if they ever get around to letting people move on. The masks are for him, his wife and our two granddaughters, so they can wash them each day.
