"As supplies grow scarce in New York City, medical workers fear becoming patients themselves"- Amanda Eisenberg

    Unfortunately, the time has come where New York City hospitals are running out of protective gear.  Tuesday night, Mount Sinai lost one of their nurses to Covid-19 due to lack of protective gear.  They have been forced to use garbage bags as gowns! How can they protect us when they can't protect themselves.  My sister is also a nurse a Mount Sinai hospital and I fear for her well being as well as others working in New York hospitals. They are on the frontline battling this monster while many of us have the option of staying home.  With a heavy heart I ask we join forces to get the protective gear they need. PLEASE, let's due what we can to help them!  

"The shortage of personal protective equipment, or PPE, has forced workers to reuse single-use masks and wipe down face shields with bleach wipes — supplies that are also running low at even the best-appointed hospitals, according to staffers across the city’s health systems.

“It is really, really bad. I showed up to work last night, and for each nurse you get a brown bag with one face shield and one N95 mask,” said a nurse at Mount Sinai. “There’s bins to recycle the masks. We will soon be running out.”

With the lack of equipment, frontline medical staff risk being exposed to the virus, which could put them in the hospital or keep them home for weeks as they recover — further crushing hospitals with staff shortages." -Amanda Eisenberg
