They aren't having trouble scaling up... They already have. 200 million masks a day, 20x in February.

If we (America) can't scale up we are in deep doodoo. Trump has been pissing off China by calling the Corona virus the "China Virus".

200 million surgical masks but only 600k n95 masks, per the npr article gp linked to.

The machines to make the n95 masks take both the Germans and Chinese about 6 months to make.
