@GavinNewsom Please help!! We need to remove some customs restrictions to get these supplies to the medical community ASAP. We don’t have time to wait! My team is just trying to help our community leverage our supply chain to get desperate PPE to doctors, nurses and caretakers!
This is what is causing the delays of MILLIONS of PPE supplies getting into the hospitals and senior homes ASAP. If anyone has any contacts who can help get these requirements lifted ASAP please reach out.@GavinNewsom@VP@CAgovernor@CBP @CalOES_TACCOM @CASOSvote @CAPublicHealt
@DanAshleyABC7 We need your help! We have over 300k PPE supplies in bound to over 150+ hospitals and medical facilities in the Bay Area but we need the state and local govt to remove some FDA customs restrictions. Until they do we can only get hundreds through customs. PLEASE.
@DanAshleyABC7 We met a few years back when I spoke about #3Dprinting at an East Bay conference you mc'd. Wanted to inform you of some recent work that my company @studiofathom is doing for COVID-19. https://t.co/kQu4vjsF01
