The U.S. is preparing for a medical supply airlift of unprecedented scale

As hospitals across the United States face a shortage of medical supplies in
the face of the novel coronavirus pandemic, planes are gearing up to bring
in reinforcements.

The first aircraft in a series of flights scheduled by the White House over
the next 30 days arrived in New York from Shanghai on Sunday morning,
bringing with it 12 million gloves, 130,000 N95 masks, 17.6 surgical masks,
50,000 gowns, 130,000 hand sanitizer units, and 36,000 thermometers, all of
which will be distributed throughout the New York tri-state ara. A non-
government distributor had actually already bought the supplies and planned
to sell them in New York, but they'd normally arrive on ships, which would'
ve taken over a month, so the government is expediting the process by air.
Going forward, the U.S. has 22 similar flights coming in over the next two
weeks that will distribute to different parts of the country, per Axios.

Navy Rear Admiral John Polowcyzk, who is running the Federal Emergency
Management Agency's coronavirus supply chain task force, said he doesn't
think the U.S. has ever seen anything like this on its own soil. "I don't
know of another effort like this," he told Axios.

Polowcyzk is hoping it's only a two- or three-week effort, but admitted
planes could be coming in over the next month. Read more at Axios.
