If the area is officially locked down, blocking transport by land, air, & water, how are they planning to deliver the masks?

I assume there are exceptions made for appropriate officials and medical personnel, if adequate quarantine rues are followed, do the group attracting the crowd funding have access to this channel? Or drone based deliver perhaps (assuming they don't break the transport in/out rule despite not being manned so not presenting the same infection spread vector)?

I'd like to know the masks are going to go somewhere useful, rather than being blocked by the rules and distributed around officials instead of to hospital staff & patients and the public, before I donate.

So apparently it's not a full quarantine like everyone suggests, but more of a partial quarantine. My understanding is that deliveries to the local government is not accepted, so they are sending this straight to the hospitals. I also hear the logistics are set up, with more information currently available in the wechat group set up for this.

This is a full quarantine per all media reporting, including Chinese party apparatus. People are allowed in but are not allowed to leave once they are in Wuhan.

FWIW, a twitter user claims to be threatened by the police for donating surgical masks and goggles in Hubei:

No. That's the government's job. China is not some impoverished country.

> China is not some impoverished country.

That's not obvious. Here are some countries with higher estimated GDP per capita than China:

Mexico (roughly equal)

Malaysia (10% more)

Romania (24% more)

Uruguay (69% more)

The per capita is low in China, but that doesn't make the different layers of government unable to provide stuff like that.

Not to mention these masks are likely made IN China... divert production.
