@Sq crcl lol the Czech Republic just sent Italy a ton of masks like today

Cool

So the above tweet is nullified?

I'm skeptical of it

That's reasonable

I mean who tf is Ben Norton anyway?

Why is Twitter a source now?

It's not

Everything is

But yeah, it's good that you mentioned that

Have you got any source?

https://www.praguemorning.cz/the-czech-republic-to-send-110000-masks-to-italy/

OK, I found a source for what Norton was talking about. Basically some local authorities took it and then the government got pissed and sent them along to Italy after a delay

http://www.rfi.fr/en/europe/20200322-czech-republic-sends-face-masks-to-italy-after-shipment-from-china-stolen-coronavirus

wait theres like several news stories giving cocnflicting info on this

https://www.straitstimes.com/world/europe/confusion-after-czech-officials-seize-china-donated-masks-bound-for-italy

OK, so basically police and local authorities rolled a critical fail on their insight check and took the masks thinking they were being illegally trafficked

""We are trying to understand what a Chinese donation for Italy was doing in Lovosice," Hamacek said, adding the government was in discussions with Italy. "I can assure that there will be no loss to Italy."

"The Czechs did not deliberately withhold this equipment," Foreign Minister Tomas Petricek was quoted by the Czech News Agency."

OK, and like half the masks weren't even for Italy I guess? So half of the 680,000 were maybe illegally trafficked and the other half were donations meant for italy

Ah yes, that warehouse full of masks

that was fun <:smugon:512048583806025739>

idk I'm in the Czech Republic shit is weird here

Like, first, why the fuck did nobody notice the address on the boxes

Second, why the fuck was it even here <:thunk:462282216467333140>

This is great @Giggles thanks for the looking into!

Also this https://news.expats.cz/weekly-czech-news/import-of-five-million-face-masks-from-china-falls-through-after-czech-firm-is-scammed/

Last time I checked the health minister was trying to iron it out with China over that seized warehouse

Part of which was nabbed by the district that discovered it so it couldn't be re-sent anyway

idk but Ben Norton is a cuck

Yep, it seems like

I love how the government said they'll use the national post to distribute masks

Ok, first. That's the national posts. Those masks will take anywhere from 5 to 30 days to arrive <:smugon:512048583806025739>

Second, wow, one whole mask. It's probably gonna be the cheapest, thinnest variant too

Ok, I agree, better than people who really have nothing to go around barefaced, but with the lower levels the potection's comparable to a scarf.

We should use drones for that

It's much safer and quicker
