An anonymous reader quotes Engadget:
Hospitals in numerous countries are struggling to provide
basic supplies to healthcare workers, and tech companies
are pitching in to address the shortfall. Tim Cook has
revealed that Apple is donating “millions” of masks to
healthcare professionals in Europe and the U.S.
Their article notes that Alibaba has also been donating
masks, test kits, protective suits and face shields, while Elon
Musk’s companies are exploring the production of
ventilators.
“It’s part of a positive trend and suggests that tech
companies may play a significant role in fighting the
pandemic whether or not they have directly relevant
expertise.”
