Fund Personal Protective Equipment for Hospitals, organized by Arthur Naydenko

Doctors are running out of personal protection equipment (PPE) taking… Arthur Naydenko needs your support for Fund Personal Protective Equipment for Hospitals

Here again, this suggests they are available on some level...

I really want to know how these hospitals are suddenly broke and the only way PPE can be had is for individuals to setup private funding on their own.

Well some of the people who are our of work could make a few bucks sewing some. One RN where I am brought in a shoe box full of nice ones and was passing them out to those who needed. Her Mom sewed them. Used those elastic hair tie things as ear loops. Pretty neat idea. The best part they were made with cotton to go against the face so they would be comfortable for people who had to wear them all day.

Now we have to make our own masks, but

Hobby Lobby ordered to close after defying coronavirus-prompted orders

This whole thing should keep a LOT of lawyers busy for the next decade.
