it's more or less unforgiveable that our american healthcare workers don't have the PPE they need to protect themselves. attrition among our healthcare workers is going to be very high, especially because unlike singapore, we use the most inefficient quarantine guidelines when we suspect that they have been exposed. people are sewing masks to make up the difference between what is needed and what we can supply. the federal government can't seem to supply the states with much of anything. and purchasing domestically-produced masks is becoming rapaciously expensive, with some manufacturers charging $7 per mask. allegedly our domestic manufacturers are ramping up production. but let's face it, that takes time. and we don't have time, because once one of our healthcare workers gets sick, they're out of commission for weeks. i will not abide by this disaster for our heathcare workers. i am working with an established charity to raise money to purchase thousands of n95 respirator masks from chinese manufacturers so that those masks can be shipped and donated directly to hospitals in epicenters like new york. i'm calling it the million mask campaign because i hope that we can eventually donate at least a million masks to hospitals in need. in reality, we will need many millions of masks if we want to protect our healthcare workers, but everything we can bring to bear on their behalf will be beneficial. please consider contributing to our campaign: https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-million-mask-campaign?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link-tip&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-million-mask-campaign?utm_sou...
