'This system is doomed': Doctors, nurses sound off in NBC News coronavirus survey

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A hospital nurse in Michigan says she and her colleagues have discussed bringing in bleach to make their own disinfectant wipes. A pregnant nurse in Ohio says she has no choice but to tend to critically ill patients without a specialized N95 mask. And a health care worker in Georgia has resorted to scouring local hardware stores in an effort to secure the protective masks.

These are just some of the stories told to NBC News by more than 250 health care providers on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic, including many who work in major hospitals.

The accounts were solicited through an NBC News survey, pushed out on social media, about access to personal protective equipment (PPE), a broad term for the gear, such as masks, glasses, gowns and respirators, donned by healthcare workers to protect against the transmission of germs.

Nearly all who responded said there were shortages of PPE in the hospitals, outpatient clinics and offices where they worked.

1. So much for CDC, their unions, and their heroism is to cry for.

2. This isn't just on the Con, although he will make everything worse.

This is decades of the for-profit agenda trouncing sound policy on public safety.

3. Good luck to them finding bleach. I stopped by a store on my way home today, not

a drop of bleach to be found.
