    To give you an idea of how much in short supply personal protective equipment is, I just saw an email from our university asking researchers who have PPE in their lab that they use for research (e.g., animal research or other) to donate it to the hospital.

        Someone (a visitor) just stole an entire box of n95s from our local hospital.

        I have a family member who works at a hospital and they said when a shipment of PPE came in this week, someone stole some of it right off the loading dock at 3am. They've had to lock up the masks and gloves because people keep taking them.

        Yeah we got a call to donate on Thursday and packed up all the gloves and masks we had on hand. We also threw in some sanitizer and antiseptic soap for good measure. It wasn't a whole lot but I hope it helps!

        Yes. Originally we were told to reuse masks and now nearly all n95s were sent to hospital. Likely other supplies will be given. I absolutely support that. it’s just scary that we are at that point. I’m glad I over ordered masks months back for an experiment.

        THREAD: I mostly talk about movies on here, but here goes. We are currently pivoting our factory to solely make surgical masks and other medical garments in short supply. We can make 2 million masks a day, and are looking to help in any way possible during this time. #COVID19 pic.twitter.com/dOX7N3e1GJ

        I just saw this in my feed. Haven’t vetted it, but thought it wouldn’t hurt to share here. Hope that’s ok.
