Thumbs up Thank you Stipe !

Stipe has switched to producing items to battle the corona virus. This situation reminds me of when Ford started producing the Willys jeep in 1941.

A Russian military plane landed in NYC a few days ago loaded with medical supplies.

Seems we're in the biggest challenge since WW2.

Where did the Russian plane get supplies?
We just got a plane from Wuhan. It must have taken off the minute the travel restrictions were eased.

This afternoon, a Russian Antonov An-124-100 military cargo plane organized by the Russian Defense Ministry arrived to John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City, full of medical supplies including personal protective equipment like masks and medical equipment. We have photographs of the arrival, taken by our photographer and artist in residence, Aaron Asis. The aircraft had left Chkalovsky airfield, which is located 31 kilometers outside Moscow, last night, made a stop at Shannon airport in Ireland to refuel, and then landed in New York.
According to The Guardian, which reported on the plane’s departure, the aid comes from Vladimir Putin and was offered “during a one-on-one telephone conversation when the two sides discussed measures to fight coronavirus.”

Russia does make it's own medical equipment and supplies, I doubt they got them from China.

Quality could only be better. There are reports of Chinese test kits being only 30% reliable and sent back from a couple of places around the world. Better off not having them at all so people don't get a false negative.
