Postal Service Had Planned to Distribute Face Masks

Emails obtained by the Washington Post show the U,S. Postal Service had plans to distribute 650 million face masks nationwide, enough to offer five face coverings to every American household.

“The document, which includes quotations from top USPS officials and other specifics, was never sent. But it suggests that the government’s initial interest in tapping the Postal Service as part of its campaign to combat the coronavirus may have been far more advanced than initially reported this spring.”
