The IL State government has been buying medical supplies from all over the world to try and keep up the demand needed by health care workers during this pandemic.
One of the items needed are medical grade Face Masks. So the Illinois purchased KN-95 masks from China, which were cleared by the CDC as an acceptable alternative to the American made N-95 masks.
Welp, turns out… they don’t work.
YIKES! That is a lot of wasted money.
Hope the government kept their receipt.
