I am so Trumped outraged out until I am having to color my hair more often because every day another bunch of grey pops over the color. HOW STUPID IS THIS ? Did this not just happen in April? Did this not just happen in June?
Daddy used to say once is a mistake. After twice, it is intentional and a habit.
God help us ! This showed up all over on my MSN feed today and I was thinking it was old news. No. It is still happening other than in just California where I heard about it first. Check the links and dates.
Expired surgical masks. Isolation gowns that resemble oversize trash bags. Extra-small gloves that are all but useless for the typical health worker’s hands.
Nursing home employees across the country have been dismayed by what they’ve found when they’ve opened boxes of protective medical gear sent by the federal government, part of a $134 million effort to provide facilities a 14-day supply of equipment considered critical for shielding their vulnerable residents from the coronavirus.
The shipments have included loose gloves of unknown provenance stuffed into unmarked Ziploc bags, surgical masks crafted from underwear fabric and plastic isolation gowns without openings for hands that require users to punch their fists through the closed sleeves. Adhesive tape must be used to secure them.
Health regulators in California have advised nursing homes not to use the gowns, saying they present an infection-control risk, especially when doffing contaminated gowns that must be torn off.
Some nursing homes have received masks with brittle elastic bands that snap when stretched. None of the shipments have included functional N95 respirators, the virus-filtering face masks that are the single most important bulwark against infection.
If this is old news, then it is late getting delivered as it is marked as posted 2 hours ago from The New York Times.

It is no wonder we are #1 in the Pandemic spread. My God ! The Death panels are shipping faulty equipment !!!!!!!! Death is spreading like peanut butter on a sandwich with these idiots in charge. Where do you even get equipment like this for people on the front lines? It is like sending water guns to a fire fight against M-16’s.
