NEWS: Gov. Gavin Newsom: California has inked deal for 200 million masks (150 million N95, 50 million surgical) per month, enough to meet state's needs and potentially export to other states pic.twitter.com/mmMRZYOrLq

Governor Newsom (click on the picture) is spot on because with California being the 5th largest economy in the world, we have make our own procurement deals since we cannot depend on the feds to step up.

Buying at scale or economies of scale is the correct term:

Economy of Scale is one of the first terms we learn as business majors in college.

San Bernardino County mandates residents cover their faces when leaving home, orders all faith-based services be conducted online as officials try to tamp down spread of coronavirus https://t.co/H3y1N1P1Ac

San Bernardino county is not playing. They are ordering all residents to wear a face covering when leaving home for essential services in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19.  Riverside county has also mandated the wearing of a face covering.  You can wear a bandana as a face covering.

I am so grateful to my family in Sacramento that they mailed us some masks and we just received them on Saturday.
