We can’t act when the hospitals are already overwhelmed. We can’t act when people can’t self isolate because that means their families starve. We have to act today.
So I implore each and every one of you to think what your contribution can be. Maybe you can help set up drive-through testing stations. Maybe your contribution can be financial.
Maybe you have lab experience and can carry out testing. Maybe you have an Aibnb/B&B/hotel and can offer rooms to doctors and nurses who will inevitably need to be quarantined away from their families. Are you a business owner/CEO – set up the infrastructure today for your employees to work safely from home.Are you a student? Can you safely and responsibly do grocery shopping for the elderly that live in your area? Can you/your business donate tests, medical supplies, respirators and I hate to say it, generators to those in need?
