The long answer is that the federal government, which has become an appendage of Trump, is seizing protective equipment from blue states and either hoarding it or redistributing it to red states.

Blue states that wish to procure PPE for their first responders are in many cases resorting to the use of charter planes, ruses and other Miami Vice shit in order to get masks for doctors and nurses in defiance of seizure by the Trump administration.
