US accused of ‘piracy’ over mask ‘confiscation’

For what it's worth, Germany is currently taking patients from Italy[1] and sending ventilators to Spain[2] to help them out. I think it just took some time to go from "scrambling to prepare" to cooperation between EU countries.

It remains to be seen whether such gestures are just PR though.

I think that the French and Italian patients being taken in charge by the German hospital won't give a f* that it is PR or not. They just want to survive and they sure will remember the german hand. Europe is a land of memory. We will not forget either the US actions.

Am not sure this 'Jesus Christ' you invoke in your answer would like your words and your logic...
