that looked at a snapshot of COVID-19 patients hospitalized in March found that more than 30 percent are African American.
Dr. Patrice Harris, president of the American Medical Association, said she’s concerned that over the next few weeks, hospitals and doctors offices will see a surge of patients who were forced to delay care and those health care workers will need even more PPE. For example, she said, N95 respirators typically cost anywhere from 50 to 70 cents a piece. Now, the cost for each respirator is between $3 and $5.
The solution is systemic change in the way PPE is distributed, something that needs to come at the federal level and something that should have happened months ago, both health care experts and union officials say. “We don’t know where they’re distributed to and how many we actually have in any given place,” she said.
Part of the problem is people that come into the office are stealing our ppe stuff, you know mask,gloves,hand sanitizer✌🏻
The price gauging doesn’t help. Used to pay $78 for a case of disposable surgical masks before COVID19, now companies are charging $470 for the exact same case. I’m a small business owner, this hurts us greatly. I’m patiently waiting my order from Taiwan.

President Trump has botched not only the initial response but the entire response to this pandemic. Donald Trump left our country unprepared, weaker, sicker, and unprotected for the worst public health and economic crisis in our lifetime.

How does our govt explain this? Are they still blaming Pres. Obama for it? What's their excuse now, they haven't been warned, didn't have time to organise...? When you can do something and you don't do it, then you just don't want to. Why they don't want to is THE Question.
Another lie spread by media for pushing their divisive agenda
I think I read that when they’ve gotten large donations they’ve been confiscated by FEMA if I remember correctly. I could find it is I have to, but what’s the deal there?
In California, DEMOCRAT infested top to bottom, there is racism towards hospitals ? So why aren't you calling out the DEMOCRATIC governor ?
Didn’t anyone tell then trump said the virus is done - time to move on?
Now why am I not surprised? COVID19
How do you go from N95 mask are a must to just put a bandana over your face?
With a federal government declaring Covid-19 miraculously gone, what do you expect? Every state health department, governor, needs to publicly demand adequate PPS for every community.
Well if all the help is out protesting which obviously shows there is no virus & some of those rioters & protesters are working people who prefer to get paid $100 a day to do so why worry
When is someone going to do something about this failure to provide PPE to the American people. Failure to scale therapeutics.

Blame Trump. He knows what's going on. But he doesn't do anything about it. Piss poor President who doesn't give a dam. Vote Biden 2020.
Better not do this from now on then
