A hospital in Seattle area has sent out a note to staff

A hospital in Seattle area has sent out a note to staff, shared with me, suspending elective surgery and warning that "our local COVID-19 trajectory is likely to be similar to that of Northern Italy." The hospital is down to a four-day supply of gloves.

Gloves, masks, gowns. Nothing. At this point I’m just hoping that whenever I do get it, it isn’t too bad, and doesn’t leave lasting damage. And, I do want to live.
