When did 100 - 240, 000 deaths become the GOAL?? How I wish that 100-240,000 was the taller/filled curve....

[VK Viswanathan @VishArizona]

Reached 100 liters/1000 hand sanitizer bottles & sprayers for donation today. Thanks Jenny, Alison & Shobitha! Great feedback & support, but the sweetest: a senior citizen wanted to donate all assorted bottles she found at home.

[VK Viswanathan @VishArizona]

@salvagedstitch Thank you for the wonderful work you are doing! You likely know about free supplies https://t.co/sYPHLsnSUi

Large Tucson, Arizona hospital needs plain masks (not N95). They are going through 600/day and have enough to last only 3 more days. Please contact me if you can help.
