The article posted said 3m started at the request of the gov't started ramping up production in January and then legislative changes were needed to sell them to the health professionals...

I understand why they can't say everyone needs to wear a mask yet. Instead of making their own people would just put more pressure on the dwindling supply that healthcare workers need. Hopefully our factories start cranking them out soon.
