President Joe Biden’s administration announced Wednesday a new program to deliver free masks to Americans in communities around the country.
“While masks are widely available in many different shapes and sizes, many low-income Americans still lack affordable access to this basic protection,” Biden’s Coronavirus Response Coordinator Jeff Zients told reporters during a press briefing.
The Biden administration will spend $86 million to send more than 25 million masks to community health centers, food pantries, and soup kitchens to encourage more Americans to wear masks to help stop the coronavirus pandemic.
Zients said the program would target low-income communities.
“We really believe that this policy makes a lot of sense in that it allows people who are not able to find or afford masks,” he said.
The masks will be made of cloth and will be made in America, Zients confirmed.
“Not all Americans are wearing masks regularly not all Americas have access and not all masks are equal,” he said.
The program will begin in March.
Typical…$86million for 25 million masks? Over $3 a mask? Quick Amazon search shows KN95s available at about $1.50/each and disposables around $.10/each. Government “discounts” at its finest.
In other words black communities. Why are blacks so incapable of taking care of themselves and their families? Animals have figured out how to do it why can’t blacks? If blacks had any morals they would be ashamed of things like this
C’mon man. Don’t be ignorant and paint this with a broad brush. I know alot of black people who don’t like other blacks living off the system, like we don’t like other whites doing it. Get out much?
Bill it to the Democrats not our taxpayer $$$$$$$ !!!!
