I’ve been thinking I could spare a box (10) of N95 masks to our local hospital that had the first death and many CV patients. I reuse ours many times and decon them. But still have kids and friends that may depend on us for more. If I knew that the nurses and doctors were being as careful on re-using them, I might be willing to donate a box.

Or is that a fool’s errand? I could just see them using it for a day and then tossing it. (And to think, three weeks ago they were probably tossing them as they left each patient’s room!)

As stressful as it is for your wife, I bet she is glad to come home to a place where she doesn’t have to feel like she has to wash her hands every time she touches something!

I have a box of fifty. But they are way past their expiration date. No one wants them. Yet.

Thanks. It just keeps getting worse. Today during morning phone conference the order went out to find as much PPE as possible.

They don't want any outpatient visits now. They are working the bugs out of the telemedicine process.

This may be a good thing. The time my wife spent on the phone with patients and refills will now be reimbursed. I guess there is an upside.
