    Why are US N95-makers drowning in masks when nurses only get one a day? @AP ’s Investigation found the logistical breakdown is rooted in federal failures to coordinate supply chains. And that’s not all. My latest w/ @mendozamartha & @JulietLinderman
    Nurses picket Friday, Feb. 12, 2021 in Faribault, Minn., during a healthcare worker protest of a shortage on protective masks.
