The effort by New England Patriots owner Bob Kraft to secure and transport from China more than a million masks for healthcare workers keeps making news.

The Patriots, with a little help along the way from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut State Police, delivered 300,000 masks to New York City hospitals.

“Mayor Bill de Blasio gave a special thanks Friday to President Trump and the commander-in-chief’s senior adviser and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, for making good on a promise to get 200,000 N95 masks to city hospitals amid the coronavirus pandemic.

De Blasio, speaking during a press briefing on COVID-19, said that he was on a phone call with Trump and Kushner Thursday and 'they said they would produce' the load of N95 masks to the city’s public healthcare system,” wrote the Post.
