Indy Posted April 7, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 7, 2020 Just saw another post from a nursing home looking for masks. Yes, they want N95, but they say they are desperate and will take anything they can get and would take all the home made one's they can get. So was just curious how many of you have donated mask for me to the people who actually need them such as nursing homes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and then I know nursing homes ideally would like each resident to have a couple a piece since it's up to the staff to clean then and keep up on that. Like they don't already have enough to keep up on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did drop off an unopened box of latex free, medical grade gloves at the firestation when this all started. Thought about the two open boxes pretty much full, but figured that would be an issue as they don't know if they are contaminated or not. Do feel guilty every time I see them sitting on the workbench though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted April 7, 2020 Share #6 Posted April 7, 2020 Wo7 is making masks. She sold six earlier to a lady on Nextdoor. $30 for supplies and labor. The lady gave her $60. A former coworker is coming by later for four. No charge for her. The local hospital has said they are not accepting homemade masks. Neither is Mom’s assisted living place. The masks could bring the virus inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are they making employees staying in the building 24/7 too, to make sure they don't bring it in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know the answer to that but I do know that with all the nursing homes here there would be more reported cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airehead Posted April 7, 2020 Share #9 Posted April 7, 2020 Mr and Mrs Digi are making masks for my group homes. I am grateful. I am making some too. The number needed per person is three. One on the face, one I the laundry, and one in the pocket in case one on face gets soiled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zealot Posted April 8, 2020 Share #11 Posted April 8, 2020 We don’t have any for ourselves. But Mrs Z is making them for the group home for mentally handicapped adults that she used to work for. No charge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
