Unless a country had previously stockpiled PPE then the whole world is ordering just about all its PPE is from Asia at the same time with obvious consequences. Just Google for yourself and you’ll find similar stories and see how mega batches have been rejected because of poor quality. Although in hindsight we should have stockpiled I don’t blame anyone for that but I do blame the government for not pulling out all the stops to enable UK industry to produce our own PPE for now and forever.
