Helping From Home

Originating in China and slowly infecting the entire world rapidly, COVID-19 is a global pandemic. As crucial as it is to self-quarantine and social distance, it is equally as important to stay educated about the virus. As Coronavirus cases in the United States multiply, hospitals are being overrun with patients, while being wholly unprepared. Consequently, doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals are in extremely high demand. However, they are currently risking their well-being and potentially, their lives, due to the shortage of Personal Protective Equipment, such as N95 masks. Many emergency room workers are being forced to reuse dirty masks. Now, more than ever, it is essential to stay home to reduce the rate of spread of the virus. This slow-down in traffic will allow hospitals to have the means to provide care to all their patients and will give hospital employees time to prepare.
