The lack of basic PPE for hospitals and other care facilities is a national disaster and is shameful. My daughter and granddaughter are CNAs. One at a Hospital and one at a nursing home. I am making them masks. They aren't N95 but at least they are something. Making extras for their co-workers. https://courierpressblogs.com/pdf/howtomakeafacemask.pdf
