This morning I went over to our (very generous) friends’ house to pick up a few N95 masks they had leftover from woodworking. I brought a note and some scones the kid and I made earlier today. On the drive over I got emotional: I was obviously grateful that my husband would have a few more masks for his shifts in the ER given how short on supplies everyone is. I was a little scared and anxious, like everyone. And I was also really, really angry that this is something medical workers and their families have to think about right now. ⠀ If you have N95 masks in your house, whether unused and leftover from construction or other projects or because you bought them just in case, please consider donating them to a nearby hospital. With medical staff currently re-using their masks, any number helps.⠀ ⠀ If you know someone with a construction firm or a non-emergency medical office who might have stock at a time when business is slow, they could also consider donating supplies. It all helps and it’s all important.⠀ ⠀ (PS: Yes, I know there is a big DIY mask making movement right now, and I do sew. These DIY masks do not have the same filtering capability and are not sufficient to protect medical workers and their patients, particularly those workers more likely to encounter COVID patients. And stay home! #covid_19 #covid #stayhome
