I had the same thought the other day.
In my younger day I worked as a technician in a hospital. If I had to enter a ISOLATION room I had to wash my hands, gown up, put on a mask and hat and wear gloves.
When leaving I had to dispose everything in a red bag (and wash again).
All these millions of mask and gloves are just going into the trash. I am waiting for the next order we will need red bio hazard bags in our homes to dispose of the mask and gloves but the kicker will be there would not be any collection center for all the “bio hazard” bags.

And that is how NURSING HOMES should be handled since CCP-19is fecal/oral transmitted. Catch any employee not washing hands prior/after patient or soiled cloth....FIRED ON THE SPOT.
