    Baker: Started calling "everybody I could think of" how to get masks after 3 million masks MA had "lost" to the feds in the port of New York to try to get more masks. Those masks had been ordered through BJ's, then the feds seized them.

    Baker said he called Jonathan Kraft with idea of treating Chinese mask purchase as "private humanitarian mission" to keep the feds from finding out. Ambassador Wong (Chinese UN ambassador) was "incredibly important" in arranging the deal and shipment.

    Sutters: State will post lists of who is getting the masks. Decisions will be made based on immediate Covid-19 and shortages - goal is to try to give "facilities in need" at least a 7-day supply.
