Reply To: KN95 Masks

@Rabbi Greenspan
Knockoff implies an illegal copy without payment of royalties or license.
The KN95 masks are not patent violations but masks made to a standard.
this series of masks is made by manufacturers worldwide. It is not like a fake designer bag

Are you old enough to remember when President Nixon instituted price controls in the US? I am. In times of emergency such as this the President could have put price controls in place. All PPEs being imported by business could have been impounded and sold by the government at a set price to all hospitals, first responders, etc.
The shipment of KN95 Masks and surgical gloves that arrived today is the exact same brand and packaging that our local ambulance corps has purchased from their US supplier for the last 3 years. I brought it in at 1/5 the current price and I don’t get pallet rates for cargo. The biggest difference is I am not looking to profit from this, but am donating PPE supplies to our local first responders and hospital who have saved Mrs. CTL’s liofe in the past.
