The Dutch government has recalled over half a million face masks it imported from China after discovering that they were faulty.
The Netherlands said on Saturday that it had asked its hospitals to return around 600,000 face masks which health professionals are using to treat patients of the coronavirus.
“The mouth masks that are not satisfactory have been retrieved,” Holland’s Ministry of Health told Dutch broadcaster NOS.
The NOS reported that the faulty masks fail to meet safety requirements because they did not fit on the faces of doctors and nurses and were failing to prevent particles of the COVID-19 virus passing through.

Cape Cod’s year-round residents, alarmed by an influx of out-of-state license plates amid the coronavirus outbreak, petitioning for the shutdown of the Bourne and Sagamore bridges — to keep out vacation homeowners and avoid overwhelming their small hospitals.
A Change.org petition to close the bridges, which had nearly 5,000 signatures by Monday afternoon, states: “Stop the spread of covid-19 close the bridges. only year round residence, medical personnel.

We only have 2 small hospitals here on cape, and limited medical staff.
keep the residences and elderly safe on cape.”
What’s really funny? The people of The Hamptons on Long Island New York have the same response and the same request. “Keep those f’king New York City ticks out of our towns!
“You can have your own opinion, but you cannot have your own facts”.
I’d seriously like to brand that sentence onto Chuck Todds forehead, reversed, so he can see it every morning in the mirror.
I am amazed at The Presidents work ethic and stamina, every single day he’s running the WH ContraVirus briefing. This pandemic is his Job One, and he’s killing it.
And the one part of this that his media jackals don’t have to acknowledge is that DJT, as President, knows he has to balance the fight against the China Virus with the health and survival of the American Economy. People also die from starvation and poverty as well as disease.
The worst kind of error, the false negative which released people with the Cornavirus into the population to walk around and spread the virus.

This report is correct. Pelosi & Schumer are willing to risk your life, your job, your retirement savings for a radical, left-wing wish list that has nothing to do with this virus. Disgraceful. https://twitter.com/guypbenson/status/1242093340704804867 …
Via senior GOP aide, Schumer/Pelosi now pushing these demands amid pandemic-fueled economic collapse:
It also forces states to allow same-day voter registration, a practice that is becoming more common throughout the U.S. but is far from universal.
