他们还是缺防护！！！ 看我们收到的信，外科口罩和 n95都要重复用 We are continuing to seek safe and reasonable ways in which we can conserve personal protective equipment to protect our staff now and in the future.
As a result, we are immediately implementing the following practices:
For patients who are presumed to not be infected with COVID-19 (i.e., the patient is not a person under investigation or a confirmed COVID-19 case):
In the OR or other procedural areas, health care workers should use one surgical mask per day, which will be reused throughout the day unless the mask becomes visibly contaminated. In non-OR, non-procedural areas, health care workers who don a surgical or procedural mask should continue to wear the same mask from patient to patient, until the mask needs to be removed. The goal is to prolong the use of each mask. The mask should be discarded if visibly contaminated.
Face shields and goggles will no longer be considered single use. Following each use of the shield or goggles, staff should wipe down the equipment with a PDI wipe (gray top or orange top), and place face shield/goggles in a face shield envelope with the worker’s full name on the envelope. View more details in this document about how to properly clean face shields and goggles.
CAPR lenses will be reused by cleaning with a PDI wipe (gray top or orange top), providing that the chin cuff is intact. The lens should then be placed in a face shield envelope with the worker’s full name on the envelope. View more details in this document about how to properly clean CAPR lenses.
N95 masks will be reused and placed in a paper bag. The worker’s full name should be written on the paper bag. View more details in this document.
Each unit and work area will designate a place for employees to securely store these bags.
Gowns and gloves should still be discarded after each use.
Thank you for helping us implement these important changes essential to our preparedness and patient care.
BTW昨天问了一个大医院的医生朋友(土生土长的美国人，科研非常优秀，critical thinking很强的那种)，说目前ppe十分充足。又问了普通人戴口罩是否必要，人家没有正面回答，只是说这是呼吸道疾病。

我就直接说，站远点说话
说是因为他们是第一个近距离面对病人的, 所要接触所有来的病人, 有病的来要口罩也是要先通过他们
但说白了里外里还是口罩严重不足没办法给所有人戴上
普通口罩听说是不缺的，但就这样，很多人不戴普通口罩
向你们致敬！！我还有一些工业用的N95 如何捐给一线的医护工作者呢？
我记得当时就是这位cathytree一直在组织大家买口罩寄回国内，当时很多有远见的姐妹都呼吁说不要继续买口罩寄回国，留一些给美国本地的医护人员，因为美国也可能爆发，然后站出来说话的这些人就被打成美分，被说是没有一点人道主义精神，没有心。好了，现在美国已经完全买不到口罩了，很多医护人员都要被迫裸奔在第一线，Cathytree你是不是应该站出来道个歉，然后组织你在中国的朋友给我们美国的医护人员捐口罩。
