Three of the UK’s leading print companies, including Precision Printing which has a branch in Sunderland, have joined forces and are using their specialist machinery to manufacture much-needed PPE.

They have also shared their designs with companies in 18 other countries where PPE is also in short supply.

Does it not come as a shock that these things are only just happening after a month of lockdown and the knowledge of the virus going back 4 months?

Bang on.
I was thinking this the other day.
Apparently they are treating this as a war, so where's the effort?

What are you trying to say?

That they are not treating this seriously?

The lockdown is a smokescreen?

Or maybe they're just incompetent.

Factories could have diversified and tooled up a month ago.
