Marbury promises 10 million masks in NY to fight covid-19

However, shortly thereafter, it also landed in America causing the same damage done elsewhere. Thousands of confirmed infections, not to mention those who are not. In fact, the American health system is private unlike the Italian one, so carrying out the swab involves an expense that not everyone can afford. For this reason, there is a feeling that the virus could have infected many more people than those actually confirmed. In particular, the emergency broke out on the Californian coast and in New York. The Big Apple, in fact, in recent days is becoming a ghost town and is in panic.

Among other things, it seems that health and hospital facilities are in short supply of suitable masks. And for this the mood rises even more. Moreover, this shortage of material is causing a senseless increase in the price of the masks themselves.

And here it comes into play Marbury. The former Knicks has been in China for more than 10 years: first as a player and now as a coach. Therefore, perceiving the drama of the moment he is experiencing New York, he wanted to make himself useful. Marbury proposed as a guarantor between a Chinese company that sells masks and the president of the Brooklyn district. Thanks to his intervention, he would bring a total of 10 million masks priced at $ 2.75 each, rather than $ 7.50.

“I’m from Brooklyn. This is something I care about. My family is from Coney Island, where many families are infected. That’s why I know how important it is for people to have masks right now“. So the ex commented on his initiative Knicks.

However, there have been misunderstandings between the parties. Brooklyn District President (Marbury’s contact person), Eric Adams, has not found immediate support from the mayor of New York, Bill De Blasio, and the governor of New York state, Andrew Cuomo. According to Adams, De Blasio and Cuomo alleged that they didn’t need masks.

While, subsequently, the press offices of the two denied. Claiming that there has been no direct offer from Adams. At the end of all the various misunderstandings, it seems that the city of New York wants to get in touch with it Marbury to discuss the agreement.

It is undeniable that there have been some misunderstandings between the parties in this matter. What matters is that the offer of Marbury is one of those offers that cannot be refused. And probably in the next few hours, De Blasio and Cuomo they will do anything to complete the agreement.
