Agreed, my sister in law is a nurse and they are telling her she has to use the same mask all day, because there are no others. Same gown too.

Medical staff are already nearing a breaking point. I hope the federal government starts to get in gear. Just massive failure across the board while state and local govt carry the load.

Zu-Absolutely agree 100%, both coasts are taxed for N95 masks and will be out of supplies soon. Solutions are out there and must be communicated.

I stand corrected but as I know the 99% are "just for design" (e.g. filter 2/3 microns but the virus is smaller) … wearing the 1% - which is good - will result in a lack for who really need it (doctors).

but of course the "ass renovator" jumped in #252680

Best,

I did indicate DRACONIAN ECONOMIC DISLOCATIONS through the floor:

So far it’s EXCEEDING that of the both the Great Worldwide Financial Collapse of 2008 caused by repeal of Glass Stegall Act of 1930’s and Sub Prime Lending and 9/11 events!(dissension between key govt agencies).

IF one cannot process any of the above, self explanatory citations, you should not be investing vs gambling!

Unless someone has a constructive commentary I will not be responding based on just the last six years of dealing with inexperienced retail folks: and too time consuming & unpaid & unproductive when there are clearly more pressing priorities.

The whole loaf versus crumbs.
