Also, a lot of the items have expiration dates on them so they need to be replenished if not used. Kinda catch 22 situation. I remember they had to waiver the expiration date on N95 masks taken out of storage in order to use them. Plenty of blame to go around.

New England Patriots private jet flew a million N-95 masks in from China. (Not sure if they've turned out to be the less effective KN-95 masks).

Flying all those masks from China to Boston ...... that's a long, long flight for the Patriot's airplane ..... maybe it stopped in Anchorage or somewhere for re-fueling.

Sort of reminds me of the refrigerated, semi tractor trailer trucks that have three drivers on-board ..... and they drive a full load of fresh strawberries from somewhere in California, back to Boston, in 36-hours.

Way to go N.E. Patriots ...... was Bob Kraft on-board the plane? ....

So... how long before Dennis Rodman starts taking credit for all the PPE from China?

You ain't drivin' from anywhere in California to Boston in 36 hrs...No matter how many drivers you have.

One year ago today, I left San Francisco and drove to Meredith posting the experience on the Forum...Well over 3,400 miles. Took me 5 1/2 days driving more than 10 hrs/day...It was fun then.

Impossible, can't be done by a semi-truck.

You might be thinking of the original so-called "cannonball run."

Brock Yates and Dan Gurney drove a Ferrari Daytona coupe cross country

in a hair less than 36 hours.

They averaged 80 miles per hour and, on one deserted stretch, reached a top

speed of 172 miles per hour.

They made it from Manhattan to Redondo Beach, Calif., in 35 hours and 54 minutes.
