TRUMP: "There’s been a clear call to action to the private sector and the call is made right here. It’s been really pretty amazing what’s happened with the private sector. They are really in sixth gear, I think, which has responded in full force, helping to produce and supply much needed masks, swabs, sanitizers, ventilators and everything else. There’s a move on that’s incredible right now, and by way of example, Hanes, everybody knows Hanes, great company, great consumer cotton products company, is retrofitting its manufacturing capabilities in large sections of their plants to produce masks and they're in that process right now. In my direction, the FDA has taken rapid steps to make these items available for medical use right now."
