I can answer this. N95 masks aren't just a medical thing. They are also used by painters and prototypers because it blocks the fine particulates produced by spraying and powder coating.
Apple does a massive amount of in-house prototyping. Virtually everything they have manufactured overseas is first made dozens or even hundreds of times in their design labs (the ones Johnny Ive formerly ran).
Apple is also very "woke" and very much on the side of OHSA and other regulations, and they are headquartered in California which has probably some of the most onerous and strict workplace safety requirements anywhere. I would imagine Apple makes employees put a mask on if they even look in the direction of an unfinished prototype device. Apple's design labs probably go through masks like most regular businesses go through paper towels.
So it makes sense they would have a stockpile, and if they decide to put a pause on product development in order to free up a large amount for a more serious need that also fits in with their corporate image.
I'd imagine they got a great deal on them and decided to stock up. Apple is a massive company. Don't forget it's not just their direct employees, they hire a shit ton of contractors that need to be outfitted too. Theoretically you need a fresh mask every day, so that ads up if you need this for something ongoing.
Other people have pointed that apparently all the big California corporations bought massive quantities of masks after the last wildfire season because the smoke was so widespread it was causing people to experience symptoms even in areas far away from the fires.
EDIT: Apparently Apple helped source 9 million masks, they didn't actually have them on hand. Likely they put out the word to their manufacturing suppliers.
Well, what is going on now is a great example of why you would need it, but they probably have it for something less unusual, like maybe to keep workers safe or an environment sterile.
Well then we're going to need to finish the wall and shut down the entire country until we test a vaccine for 3 years in clinical trial. Ok. I'm down with that.
I, too, hear someone say something on the news, do NO research and run out and read through the ingredients on every product in my home until I find it, and then take that thing in whatever amount I feel like even if it is aquarium cleaner.
I also take it as a preventative even though it’s clearly being used as a Treatment and not a preventative.
And it’s absolutely drumpfs fault when I kill myself doing that.
Exactly! He through and end date out there (plus for fun made it Easter just for salt on the wound) and they hate it. They want this thing to go to November.
President's approval rating is 49%. Approval handling this crisis is 60%, and is about the same rating (60%) with Independents, per recent Gallup pole. WHEWWWWWW LADS.
"Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?" Corinthians 1:20
15 days to get the medical infrastructure ready to handle it, then end it. Quarantine the elderly and let the young go to work and get sick. We'll all get over it, with a few rough cases here and there. With any luck, we'll keep it out of the nursing homes until immunity has spread.
Our economy will rebound faster than Europe, likely faster than China, which will strengthen it in very short order as all the money in the world is looking to invest in the first place that looks stable.
It just seems so damn futile. Do these reporters and azz wipes want a depression? What next starvation? I hate that we are here. I know Pres Trump wins- but damn, we are fighting a whole lot of people who really do want to burn this country down.
What I like about Dr. Birx is that she has common sense and practical solutions. Bet it's her army experience. She's not a mad scientist who would have no problem crashing the economy just to get rid of the virus
I'm cautiously optimistic about Dr. Birx. Time will be the true indicator. I'm betting Dr. Fauci and Trump will be at odds before this is all over though. Corrupt media has him thinking he's now an economist.
I'm glad she clarified that the numbers are surging because we are dealing with backlog. Cuomo threw out some misleading data today because of the surge in NY
I think the better question is why Apple has 9 million N95 masks stockpiled.
Ding ding
Apple announced a donation a few days ago
I can answer this. N95 masks aren't just a medical thing. They are also used by painters and prototypers because it blocks the fine particulates produced by spraying and powder coating.

9 Million.
How's your math work out?
I'd imagine they got a great deal on them and decided to stock up. Apple is a massive company. Don't forget it's not just their direct employees, they hire a shit ton of contractors that need to be outfitted too. Theoretically you need a fresh mask every day, so that ads up if you need this for something ongoing.

EDIT: Apparently Apple helped source 9 million masks, they didn't actually have them on hand. Likely they put out the word to their manufacturing suppliers.
That makes more sense. The math didn't add up.
That's Foxconn in China.
Not Apple. Why does Corporate Apple have 9 million masks in the US.
They have 36k employees in California. That 250 masks per CA employee. Yeah...
Well, what is going on now is a great example of why you would need it, but they probably have it for something less unusual, like maybe to keep workers safe or an environment sterile.
They are so evil, they probably value the need of a pandemic in good PR and price that in vs a regular charity doanation.
Even if all 12 k people in Texas needed masks because of their manufacturing job, that's 750 masks per person.
Oh shit.
Didn't the President in a previous press conference refer to hoarding of masks...
And they called him xenophobic when he tried to stop people from coming in from China.
Well then we're going to need to finish the wall and shut down the entire country until we test a vaccine for 3 years in clinical trial. Ok. I'm down with that.
Damn, he held a two hour town hall earlier AND he's doing a presser? The most transparent president ever.
he got that big dick energy
And he looks great. Better than Monday when everybody looked worn out.

You’re kidding... is someone really saying that?
But dRumPhf said to use chloroquine NOT hydroxychloroquine! Reeeeeee
I, too, hear someone say something on the news, do NO research and run out and read through the ingredients on every product in my home until I find it, and then take that thing in whatever amount I feel like even if it is aquarium cleaner.

He could livestream his day 24/7/365 and they still wouldn’t give him credit for being transparent.
"Is it wise to pack churches on Easter?"
Seriously fuck these satan worshiping pedos.
They hate him for sharing hope.
Exactly! He through and end date out there (plus for fun made it Easter just for salt on the wound) and they hate it. They want this thing to go to November.
ikr... thank you Sherlock Holmes now we can all rest easier that you've cracked the case.
President's approval rating is 49%. Approval handling this crisis is 60%, and is about the same rating (60%) with Independents, per recent Gallup pole. WHEWWWWWW LADS.
And this is Gallup who infamously had Carter beating Reagan by 8 points prior to the 1980 election. So these are GREAT numbers for Trump
Nice.
“Surely orange man is not as good as you purport him to be”
Isolating N.Y seems like a good idea. Liberals are in favor of draconian methods so they will be happy
It was a good idea before Covid19.
What’s this Covid19 you speak of? Do you mean CHINESE VIRUS?!
They abhor us deplorables out here in fly-over country so they should be good with that.
Apparently they never heard of Communion.
Someone should tell them it involves getting in line for a share of bread!
Capitalism, baby!
Very true.
But the media wants to bad for him to make people do stuff!
doors are reeecyst!!!! walls are closing in!!!!
"It takes one person to contaminate a whole county"
Yes, like one New Yorker fleeing to Florida.
It's almost like there are 50 different states.
Obummer told me there are 57.
He added the seven Islamic states.
Can't wait for the dems to start getting confused and adding the Mexican ones.
They already campaign in them.
Alta California
"Without borders you don't have a nation"
Fucking bingo.
Because California sets itself on fire multiple times a year for the federal emergency money.
That math means 250 masks per CA employee. That doesn't strike you as odd?
A little, but Apple employees have a history of being particular. They used to demand fresh squeezed orange juice.
I wanna know too.
Disgusting prestitutes at the end shouting every negative question they could. ENEMY OF THE PEOP.E
HE REFUSED TO ANSWER MY QUESTION GARBLED WITH THE INAUDIBLE SCREECHING OF 20 OTHERS!!!
You need to set goals. Easter is just goal he said that. That gives people hope that's his job.
If that was Obama he would say I don't know when this crisis is going to end.
If if if if if if if if if this mess I inherited chew soap!
Uh uh uh ah you didn’t cure that
Bawacko would say "I'm waiting to hear about it in the "News". Whatevs, man. Why do you have a frown."
“It takes one person to contaminate a whole county!” STFU, ya dumb cunt.
It takes one shit reporter to put an entire nation into hysterics and crash the greatest economy of all time. Oh wait.
These guys are hung up on that Easter statement
Trump knows how to get 'em going.
IS IT WISE TO PACK CHURCHES ON EASTER???
"Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?" Corinthians 1:20
Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by. Isaiah 26:20
His wrath passed by on Easter!!!
GEOTUS was placed here, in this timeline by God. AMEN!
Fuck the media
Many seem to underestimate the effect that economic devastation will have on health, well being, social stability, and lives of Americans.
They tend to be the people who still have jobs and are not watching their business and everything they have worked for destroyed.
We need a solution that keeps hospitals from being overwhelmed but also allows our nation to have an economy. There has to be a way.
15 days to get the medical infrastructure ready to handle it, then end it. Quarantine the elderly and let the young go to work and get sick. We'll all get over it, with a few rough cases here and there. With any luck, we'll keep it out of the nursing homes until immunity has spread.
Our economy will rebound faster than Europe, likely faster than China, which will strengthen it in very short order as all the money in the world is looking to invest in the first place that looks stable.
LOL, that comment at the end... Is it wise to pack churches on Easter? What a moron
Haha. After the 3 hour marathon question session yesterday, he just walked out. So many questions yesterday were literally retarded.
It just seems so damn futile. Do these reporters and azz wipes want a depression? What next starvation? I hate that we are here. I know Pres Trump wins- but damn, we are fighting a whole lot of people who really do want to burn this country down.
They absolutely DO want that....they hate this country and everything it stands for.
Fauci is there?!? But but but but I thought he and Trump HATED each other and weren't working together anymore! It must be Trump's fault!

"Is it wise to pack churches on Easter?" How could anyone know, you idiot? We'll have to see! Damn these people are dumb.
Is it right to pack churches during Easter? WTF
I'd love to see him close the briefing with a prayer. Some of the presstitutes might spontaneously combust.
Like vampires in sunlight.
good god I hate the media.
"HE KEEPS LYYYYYING! ALL HE DOES IS LIE IN THOSE CONFREEENCES"
Never gives any examples of the lies*
Our soothing VP 😍
Ever pet a fox once? Silky smooth.
What did the fox say?
Thank you Mr. President
The reeeeeeeeaster bunny should cross this whiny reporter off xis list.
Outstanding comment.
Fauci: Bitch there are 50 states, what are you? A faggot?
Translated it for yall.
What I like about Dr. Birx is that she has common sense and practical solutions. Bet it's her army experience. She's not a mad scientist who would have no problem crashing the economy just to get rid of the virus
I trust her
she talks like ballsy fraud
what does that even mean?
anti Kavanaugh liar scum bitch christine ford
I'm cautiously optimistic about Dr. Birx. Time will be the true indicator. I'm betting Dr. Fauci and Trump will be at odds before this is all over though. Corrupt media has him thinking he's now an economist.
TRUMP HAS REMARKABLE ENERGY. TWO HOUR TOWNHALL AND NOW THIS. BIDEN CAN'T MAKE IT 20 MINUTES!

Muslims hate Easter Worshippers
Here's Why:
MR PRESIDENT WHY DO YOU WANT TO KILL PEOPLE TO BOOST THE STOCK MARKET
What’s being said doesn’t fit their narrative.
I'm glad she clarified that the numbers are surging because we are dealing with backlog. Cuomo threw out some misleading data today because of the surge in NY
...as planned
I feel like NYC should be isolated at this point, half of our total cases are coming from there. New Yorkers love to travel.
The Division style?
There's a reason most pandemic media (fiction) is set there
Pshh...Implying most media ISN'T fiction.
I flew JFK to Germany on Jan 31st. Lots of Asians at JFK were wearing masks already.
They do that anyways.
More like Escape From New York style.
Locked down so tight that Snake Plissken couldn't get out.
Similar to Rush, a talent "on loan from God".
For leftists it'll be "REEEEASTER"
