all medical and first responders testing positive and then are we all quarantined

that’s what we’re doing right now, quarantining. But we can bring in the Nat’l guard medics to back y’all up.

“that’s what we’re doing right now, quarantining. But we can bring in the Nat’l guard medics to back y’all up.”

What do we do when we run out of them too?

We all live here for 24 hr stretches. If we shut down the entire station, that leaves the guys at the other station to run the calls, the ones we were doing CE’s with last shift. Oops.

We don’t have near enough supplies to go on every call suited up with level 2 HAZMAT protection let alone level 1. I can’t imagine trying to start an IV double gloved and taped up.

Where I am at would require cleaning or replacing 40 suits a shift at this station, or would under normal conditions.

I have been through enough panics to see where the increase in calls would be exponential. Back during the anthrax panic we probably doubled the call volume to go look at sheetrock dust, letters without return addresses and such.
