EMT and First Responders #33

Open ghost opened 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

I got word from a friend who used to be a Cabarrus county first responder that they're totally going without protective gear already (hospitals are generally getting first preference). I imagine this is true for Mecklenberg County as well.

If we already have a direct contact with Meck County Emergency Services, we can close this Issue number. Otherwise I can reach out to them and get a contact over there. Those medical workers are definitely a population that is at very high risk.

Along those lines, somebody from Atrium pulmonary group called me today - they were already out by the time I got a chance to call them, but I'll try again tomorrow.

Wow, thanks for letting us know. I have a nurse friend who was asked to wear bandanas today for PPE. That really shows the state are HCP are in.

On a similar note, there is a number floating around NC Health Care system needs appr. 40k/ month. Injection molding won't be up and running for a little while. So we need to help all HCP
