Today I found out my god child arrived at work in CCU, every bed available filled with intubated Coronavirus patients. She was handed her protective gear, a yellow rain slicker, the ones you see the police wearing on a rainy day, she was told to wear backwards. Yes, she has goggles and face mask donated by friends. They are only a week in and have no equipment because Don held back shipments to MA. She has a family that she fears she may bring the virus home to.
Another family member had a webcam doctors visit. They advised everyone to wear a mask and gloves when going to the store, something the admin that told us there was no need for. He also said for precautions wash your hands before you leave, wash them again when you get home and then wash your clothing and take a shower. Wash your food and bottles and cans, again something we were not told by this admin because for weeks they called this a hoax.

(86,579 posts)We're all in this together. I sent out a video to my friends and family which showed why you should be wearing a mask and used the Czech Republic as an example as they have had low infection numbers or at least not a mass episode because everyone wears masks. Most are homemade and they are readily available because a lot of people are making them. The video also shows which materials are best to use for filtration.
We just have to do it.
Love you...

(83,751 posts)This is all so unbelievable, not the virus itself, the complete incompetence of this admin and their lack of carrying that, IMHO, millions are going to die. This could have been contained somewhat, not completely...yet the death toll less.
She sent selfies after gearing up. First day protective gear and the next a raincoat.
Love to you and yours.

(741 posts)Think about it. Tasked with dismantling the worlds strongest nation and its agencies , attempting to destroy the press , this is like the friggen plot of a Bond film.
I sincerely hope that Trump is just plain stupid.
Then again, if Putin isn't afraid to deploy polonium, whats to stop him from using a bio weapon.
Not likely but it all fits.
