I don't see a single mask or glove in the pics in this article (which documents a day in the life of a picker): https://www.latimes.com/local/great-reads/la-me

  I think one major challenge right now is that nobody can get masks and gloves. Frontline health workers can barely (if even that) manage with the supply at hand. I think this is the major reason for 'flattening the curve', i.e. to make sure our supply chain ramps up to provide necessities like masks, gloves, ventilators, disinfectants etc. In a hypothetical world where there are no shortages of these items (+ publically and easily available test kits), the economy wouldn't need to have halted to a near stop, and we could weather the pandemic much easier. Hopefully, we can learn from this.
