There is no reason why they should be using garbage bags. They need fresh PPE on a daily basis. They are not expendable (no one is). I'm so ashamed to be an American right now.

I'm not even close to the situation and can't find any humor in it. There is absolutely no reason to be put at risk in one of the alleged top industrial nations.

Her hours have actually been cut she told me today. She was normally working 60-80 hours a week and is down to around 40. It's due to the lack of patients in the hospital for non-emergency or elective surgeries. I am feel bad she is losing money but the mom in me is glad she isn't in that hospital so much now.

SIL works for Beaumont? Yikes. They both get one pair of gloves and one mask for each 12 hour shift.
