A family member sent this to me.....she's a neonatal nurse in Texas

[Cranky]

Sent to me in messenger.....and in Austin to be exact.....

Don’t want to post my name associated to this info, but the nurses at my hospital on the COVID floor (all confirmed positives) have been using the SAME n95 and plastic gown for FOUR WEEKS. And we keep being told we have plenty of PPE and that is what my company is also telling the public. We have 28 confirmed positives at my small hospital alone as of yesterday.

This is the biggest bunch of bull

I’ve ever even heard of.

Those N95s are a , at most 4 hours a day use for the health trade. Up here They were talking about repurposing those. Good luck on that one.

disposable paint suits are cheap in price and cover your entire body they should look into those.
My trade a day use only. Then toss in the trash.
Health is the upmost importants. I see the medical field doesnt see that.

All the states have been getting Federal funding for emergency preparedness since 9/11 not one state even had basic ppe. Even after the Sars outbreak and the H1N1 outbreak, they still didn't prepare for even basic medical protective equipment should another outbreak occur! Not to make this political, but someone should be held accountable for leaving our brave first responders and medical personnel who are out there risking their own lives with nothing to protect themselves with!

Had shoulder surgery 7 weeks ago. Have physical therapy today. I get over there and everyone is wearing surgical masks. They check my temp as always ask if I've been to shithole China etc. Nurse hands me surgical mask, seen the box the masks came from many times before made in China. I said everyone has to wear them now? Oh yes everyone, i took one walked over to registration and cancelled the appointment. Protection from Chinese virus by wearing mask made in China. This whole thing smells. When we probably should have worn mask was weeks ago, two weeks opening ohio stage one. This country is going to be forever changed. Six foot distances masks, they were putting yellow stickers on people that were already wearing masks? Wtf

I saw on local news this morning - sterilization of masks in local medical facility, they cant get enough...

Guy while back was soaking them in salt solution then did testing salt drys out the protecting outer cell wall of viruses leaving them incapable of replicating. Last i heard seems like they were doing everything possible to discredit this on large scale. But it works, he was doing it before this virus broke out.

A biomedical engineer created a mask coated in salt that he says could neutralize viruses like the coronavirus in 5 minutes https://www.businessinsider.com/mask-coated-in-salt-neutralizes-viruses-like-coronavirus-2020-2

My wife is an RN and gets the COVID-19 unit three times a week. They re-use PPE and are required to clean it after every shift....but 4 days for one mask.....is insane. This is ******* America. The reason this is such an abortion is all the social handout programs....literally there is no money left to protect the tax payer.

you imagine using a thong from a huge over weight gal. You would have to ties the ends up and have pig tails like pippy thong stockings..
