Giving the face shields to the medical field is probably for the best because sketchily certified shields will still stop sneezes while it might not stop shrapnel.

Funny they're calling out 5 and 7 mil gloves. Would bet you could check that the 7 mil are also just 5 mil in a 7 mil box.

Do we really want the medical field relying on the free stuff from Harbor Freight? That stuff barely lasts a day in the garage.

Do you think they're making them use coupons to get it free? They're always hardasses at the counter and have you grab the ad sitting there and rip the coupon out.

Kidding aside, I'd rather my wife had lovely equipment than no equipment. :( And if they have an appropriate supply, it really only has to last as long as the personnel is in the room. You put it on, you go in and do the thing, you come out, and doff. If there's an actual outage and you have to ration the few pieces you could find, you put it on in the morning, and wear it to every single room all day long and don't get to take your mask off to eat or drink water for 12 hours.

Not saying making fun of HF equipment is wrong, not trying to call you out or nothin', that's SOP. But it's still a god drat mess and HF is great for apparently being of a quality significantly higher than their power tools in a time of need. I still won't buy any handheld motors there though. :|

My hospital filled out an application this morning will let you know if/when it shows up. Word on the street is that shipments of surgical masks from China should start arriving at the end of the week. I will believe it when I see it.

Our burn rate of ppe has been unbelievable. The lack of tests has exacerbated the problem, every patient that is sitting around waiting for their corona results sucks up a ton of equipment.

The community has really come through though, construction companies, schools and even random individuals have donated enough so that we aren’t reusing masks yet. It is only a matter of time though.

I didn't do an in-depth search but the article I read mentioned the spillgates were 90 years old and a renovation/replacement was being looked at prior to the collapse but funding was questionable. Basically it failed because the neoliberal economics that have been rampant in this country since the 1970s has let our infrastructure crumble.

This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.

Could be. Deep water wells don't need treatment. Plus, anyone who has their own well is fine. It's cities that would have trouble if they recycle their gray water or use catch ponds.

Not sure why truckers are constantly putting out the message of "what would happen if there were no trucks?" I've never heard someone complain about trucks or want them to stop moving.

Nobody wants a Swift truck to stop moving, but they just do it erratically as part of their normal behavior.

There are legit reasons, mostly based around pollution and the way that trucks really do a number on interstates (which means the industry is effectively subsidized by highway taxes, as they don't pay for the wear they cause), for wanting to cut back on the amount of long distance shipping* we do via truck specifically. Now, what people want instead is all over the place. You'll find one end of the spectrum who wants us to go back to only using poo poo you can get in the local area, and others who just want us to invest in a better long distance transportation network designed specifically for heavy loads. Usually this is where someone who is into trains starts talking.


*note the "long distance" part of that. Every time this comes up anywhere someone starts asking how you're going to get your poo poo from the port or train station to the small town 40 miles away and ignoring the part where it's driving a load of stuff from LA to Omaha that is the issue.
