We are running out of all Personal Protective Equipment and the orders aren't being filled. We had our transportation drivers going to Walmart, CVS, Target, etc.....looking to buy sanitizer, bleach and hydrogen peroxide today. We are almost to the point of needing to make our own disinfectant. We are down to 50 masks total. It is very scary not to have supplies to protect yourself or your staff.

thats ****ed up. I thought when the President signed the defense production act that the military and government would ramp up production of medical supplies. Now he’s tweeting that he only signed it “just in case” it’s needed. Your experience is not unique. It’s needed.
Some good news on the hand santizer shortage is that local breweries are converting their production to making hand sanitizer and usually giving it away to hospitals and nursing homes that have shortages. I’m stopping my social distancing to take a car full to a nursing home from one of our local Breweries.
