There's a shortage because China, who supposedly has the WuFlu so under control that they're opening up their businesses and getting back to normal again, says they still need all the masks that companies, some of whom are foreign, have manufactured within their borders. Begs the question of where the lie is. Are they lying about needing them in order to pressure the countries these masks would otherwise go to, or are they lying about having the WuFlu under control in order to save face and appear in control?
