weeks ago NY Presbyterian Hospital was estimating they would be going through 500,000 a week. You have to change your mask every time you see any patient in the hospital now or any other staff member, whether you are a doctor, a nurse, a healthcare aide, an orderly or housekeeping.

1. A million a day? Not being a smartass - that

Remember there are several campuses.
