Information on the support of the military industry appears every day and no one is hardly surprised. As the Americans say - "It's the right thing to do."

Nevertheless, the following report seems quite significant because it concerns the Crye Precision company, which is based in New York, the place with the highest number of COVID-19 infection rate in the USA.

The company from New York Brooklyn, in cooperation with other companies from the region such as Lafayette 148, Stitch NYC, @kaiminofficial, @kingbridgenyc, Kustin Paul, NY Ortho, Accurate Knitting, Martin Greenfiled Clothiers, Skillset, 1947LLC, Honeywell, Tencate, Lion Apparel , Matinal Safety Apparel, Milliken, Invista, @textilenetwork, Inkcups, UFP, Flextech, joins the effort of sewing protective equipment in response to the appeal of the mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio.

Interestingly and significantly, the place where production is to take place is the Brooklyn Navy Yard, the place where ships were built for the US Navy during World War II. According to reports, Crye and Lafayette are expected to produce 19,000 surgical gowns this week.

Another significant information often appears in press reports from across the ocean. Production during a pandemic would not be possible on such a large scale were it not for the so-called Berry Amendment, or the law requiring the US Department of Defense to buy products, especially fabrics, textiles and food from domestic manufacturers and made from American "raw materials". Maybe it would be worth doing the same by the European?
