So 300,000 masks x 20 NYC hospitals = 6 million mask for 7,500 hospital patients... Got it.

Apparently not. Most of the nurses and doctors wearing a mask, changing for each person they see, not all of who are Covid-19 patients though they wouldn't know that when they saw them. I can see each hospital going through dozens, maybe hundreds per hour. And that's day after day. So yeah, I can see them needing millions to get through the next few months.

Later someone said that the new self tests will greatly reduce the number of PPEs neceaary for healthcare workers. Now, they DO have to change masks after each person. With the self tests, they won’t. They’ll save millions of dollars, IIRC.
