Saying that they have now a limited a lot of the shortage just pushing the mask and other protective clothing to the states that need the most but they did acknowledge that there is still a problem and that is that in fact many of these are going to the highest bidder and sometimes that better is outside the United States they dress the issue of hoarding that exists in the United States saying that they have now begun seizing masts that have 7 ties or and other items that are of course very much sought after in the United States right now with the high number of cases in fact saying that they are not only seizing this which many might argue later on may not be constitutional but that they are now pushing it out into the market as quickly as possible here in the United States to address those shortages and get really when we were watching the briefing here the president was talking about of some of the rising figures of coronavirus in other countries as well hes always talking about spain and italy but i know because you were in the room you asked him specifically about iran and the situation there tell me what he said.
