It's a special skill for sure. I have a poker face but sometimes I need to leave the room.Probably, but that may just be firehouse story-telling skill.
I actuallythinkbelieve that nursing is much nastier (and more difficult) than EMS. EMS has its moments, but nobody works harder, in more difficult situations, than a hospital RN.
EMS folks are special in many ways, lol.It's a special skill for sure. I have a poker face but sometimes I need to leave the room.
I think for the most part they always knew, but due to the very limited resources; they didn't feel the risk to all outweighed the risk to those who had higher risks not having them, so they only recommended for those being exposed etc.
I think they were trying to stop a mass hysteria.
Just curious, how did you get your N95 masks?
And where would you suggest others get them?
I'll be interested in watching the video once GMA posts it.Dr Fauci was just on GMA, and admitted that one of the rationales to telling people not to wear face masks was that if there wasn't enough of them, they have to prioritize them for our healthcare workers and to those that are infected, to protect the healthcare workers from them. [Of course!]
Dr Fauci said, verbatim: "If you pull back and think about it, we're starting to reexamine the possibility that if there ARE enough masks," [coincidentally at the same time that China & South Korea no longer need as many and can start producing them again for the rest of the world, ] "should everyone be wearing masks? Those who try to protect themselves and those who are trying to protect others as they might be infected. There was always this feeling that there's not enough masks so we had to prioritize them for healthcare workers and to the infected. But given the situation that we might have enough masks for everyone, I think there's some rationale that we should try to utilize them more than we do at the present time."
Boom.

I have not found any. Where? Additionally some that come from china are not true n 95 masks. They are just stamped n 95. There are counterfits, as hospitals are learning right now.Also just FYI, masks are available -- and N95's are actually more available than regular masks. I ordered 5 N95's yesterday and they are being delivered supposedly on Thursday. Regular masks were showing delivery in late April/early May.
Amazon.. Search for KN95 masks. They are $14.95, ship in 2-3 business days.I have not found any. Where? Additionally some that come from china are not true n 95 masks. They are just stamped n 95. There are counterfits, as hospitals are learning right now.
Of course. So is everyone else.I understand the reasoning and I know it’s about saving lives, which is obviously important, but if the choice is between wearing a mask everywhere you go or staying home, I’m staying home.
You're gonna get kinda hungry eventually...No matter how much I want to go somewhere, if I have to wear a mask to do it it’s not worth it.
Ok, you don’t have to take that comment so literally. I’ll still go get food when I need it but that is it right now. I don’t care about anything else.You're gonna get kinda hungry eventually...
K 95 are a little diffrent, i have tried to order those but they get cancled as most of them are fakes. I ordered 3 times and before arrival date all 3 orders got cancled. So the are a lit of fakes out there. I need them for work and cant get them.Amazon.. Search for KN95 masks. They are $14.95, ship in 2-3 business days.
Yes, they are mfg in China, but are fulfilled by Amazon. I don't think Amazon would fulfill fake masks.
