I don't know. The test kits you have to order. I think the masks may just show up.
The masks are only useful if you are using an N95 mask and wearing it correctly. It will go in the trash pretty soon because you can't really wash an N95 mask. It's not a symbol of oppression. COVID does kill and good masks can slow the spread. It's just not sustainable to keep sending masks out.
The latter problem is actually much bigger than Covid and will continue after we aren’t constantly talking about Covid anymore. Healthcare is a brutal industry to go in to, and it’s just not attracting as many people as they need. At least that’s what I’ve heard from friends who are nurses, Carl could have a better view on that.
Kind of like those people going for gender reassignment surgery or butt/breast implants?
In Germany, Bavaria and Berlin mandated N95s while the rest of Germany used cloth masks. Their epi curves were indistinguishable, just like the epi curves of US regions, regardless of the fascist mandates imposed by moron governors. Go find where Illinois' "stopped the spread" compared to its upper midwest neighbors who didn't impose the strict mandates.
Patients are being turned away? Where was all this concern over the number of "hospital beds" when Obumma passed a healthcare law that literally closed hospitals?
Trillions of dollars spent, but none on expanding healthcare capacity. Remember the hundreds of millions they spent on covid field hospitals, only to use none of them? That was close to when they were spending hundreds of millions on vents to blow patients' lungs out to keep them on a closed loop system so the "infected" air wouldn't contaminate the hospital.
I happen to be very familiar with a hospital system here in the triangle that has a warehouse full of $$$$ millions of extra PPE and "vents" sitting still crated. It would be embarrassingly funny if it weren't so sad at the emotional kneejerk response supposed intelligent people continually demonstrate.
I am going to get mine and sell them when people need them to go on the cruise or trip and they can't find at test. $150 each
We had a customer who did engineering and worked with a construction company who had a big contract with a large hospital and ikely the govt. What did they do? They were looking at converting their parking deck into rooms and were going to run ventilation systems and make rooms and all kind of stuff.
Why get rid of them? What if some business needs the result of a test? If you have kids, they might need to show a test result to school.
