@balajis I think it’s more of having an entrepreneur mindset (regardless of him being a billionaire or not). Entrepreneurs operate differently. It’s important that the government has to work with the biz/entrepreneurs to move a lot of things forward with faster & more efficient process.
From a text message exchange between @frankba and an emergency room nurse to $700K raised and more than 7000 delicious meals delivered from local restaurants to healcare workers. @FrontlineFoods is a shining light in a dark time. https://t.co/Ow1bYQnCiU
I encourage everyone that is able and wants to help to look at these two funds specifically for workers in need!

The WHO already published N95 equivalents — including FFP2 — and PPE recommendations.
I would urge you and California healthcare to consider purchasing equivalents in this crisis so that our healthcare workers are not being put at further risk. end 5/
@GavinNewsom I just learned that many in California has gone full mode on acquiring NIOSH-certified N95 masks. I could imagine why…but I have some concerns.
I’ve been sourcing N95 far and wide for the past 4 wks…asking for NIOSH. I learned that these masks are like unicorns 1/
BUT many healthcare are already working using bandanas and re-used N95s, which violates CDC and WHO guidelines of just 30 days ago.
Asking a healthcare to use only N95, and if that’s not available, to just re-use their mask, or use bandana goes against recommended practices. 4/
While vast majority of deaths from #COVID19 are age 60+ many young adults and middle aged Americans are becoming seriously ill and surviving only after prolonged hospitalizations and ICU admissions that have long term consequences. This is a dangerous virus for most age groups.
@FedupUSExpat @dannydansherman @MasksForDocs Totally agree with you! Also check FDA registration too so there is no import issue to the US. Plus get the European CE certification if that’s what the product claims.
@KeenDisregard Evan, what are models on face shields, gloves, and gowns? I have my contact in China can source these faster than anyone I know. Maybe we can do something!
BREAKING: Big news. There is a now national resource & clearinghouse for N95 masks. This is a place to go if you have of if you need. Consider helping to circulate this.
Thank you Project N95! #GetMePPE

@dannydansherman @MasksForDocs My supplier is taking orders from more than just me, but can’t field 100+ pricing phone calls. They want only large orders. It’s better to combine to keep their production flowing. I will dm details
@MasksForDocs @dannydansherman @MasksForDocs You’re right. There is a lot of uncertainty. My partner has been able to ship out no problem in smaller quantities.
