One. Mask. Per. Day.
This is so effed up I can’t even...

Here in tri-county Detroit area, we are reaching critical care bed capacity. Staff is to put their mask in the paper bag at the end of their shift, take it home, and bring it back to wear the NEXT day.
I sure wish someone had replenished our national stockpile 5-10 years ago. Ford and GM are taking point on ventilators but it all takes time. Some PPE is being created with 3-D printing. Yay us, I hope it's all in time.
