A doctor at West Jeff told us today that they had plenty of supplies and only 9 confirmed cases thus far.

Gloves were the Quickest and easiest thing I got in. I needed them anyway and had put off ordering, but I had no issue once I tried.

Apple probably has supply for factories in China and wild fire stuff

Were they masks or respirators? I have seen reports use both terms.

Well that is dumb planning. You never have a water feature in a hospital lobby area.

I mean, if the goal is to help a situation, wouldn't this be important? How will the useless mayor be able to work with JBE in order to get supplies funneled there if we don't know where to go?

Oh wait, that's right: Democrats and their sick media DON'T want to help. Everything is "Dunk on Trump" first, then all else falls in line.

Our media is disgusting, but at this point, I can't blame them. They have an audience of retarded seals that clap for every lie they tell.

They should join a co op.
The co op operates as a buying the back end rebates for buying in bulk goes to the members/ hospitals.

Hire maybe one people to manage it, two inside coordinators, and a few warehouse people.

Have a centralized warehouse they share with other hospitals.
In slow demand times if the items have a long shelf life stock up on them.

Then when needed they send to members/ hospitals in qty’s pre determined.

all they do when thew subject get raised is say they are asking for research on the best way to do just that and the next mayor will have all the research they need to be able to actually remove the bodies

2 guys with a helicopter could have removed the crane and the bodies and all the lose debris in 2 weeks and the building could be back under construction already

but instead its shut down for eternity and until someone gets their pockets filled up with money nothing will ever be done with it

Baptist has plenty as well. I understand your wife is a nurse and may tell you differently(I here the same from mine), but perception can often become reality. We have had to tell nurses do not reuse ppe, we have enough. We have actually halted donations as well

I'm not gonna say you're wrong, but that sure doesn't seem to be the case based on what they're actually doing in the hospital and directives given for what to use.

This a-hole isn't even working with the really sick patients...

I'm working right now at a New Orleans hospital in ICU, in the thick of it, as an RT. We have to reuse gowns but no one, I repeat, no one is acting like that...

It's busy as hell, but this shite is way over dramatized...

I finally got a chance to chill and look at TD in the ABG lab...

I'm currently using a GVS N100, it's awesome...

We have issues different directives than standard times for ppe usage, but it’s more for cross contamination than a shortage. Please confirm to whomever you know we will not run out on them.

We, luckily becuase of our supply chain leader, were ahead of the ball. We won’t run out

Exactly. That female New Orleans mayor was blaming Trump for not shutting down Mardi Gras. Why the F*ck is there a state governor and a city mayor if they can't make decisions on their own? But they have to blame somebody! Everyone knows that all the federal funds that each state and city receives just goes into the leaders pockets and not to its intended use for the people!

I'm not following what you're saying here. How does reusing things not typically reused not increase cross contamination?

Family at both main and Baptist have both laughed at what you're claiming, so you should probably start handing out all that extra PPE. They'd like not having to reuse surgical masks over multiple shifts.
