MICHIGAN NEEDS MASKS!
As a Michigander, it breaks my heart to hear that my home state is now becoming the new "HOT ZONE" for Covid19. With more than 1,000 new cases reported every day in metro-Detroit, hospitals are running out of protective masks to ensure the safety of themselves and others.
Our healthcare heroes are risking their lives on the front line and NEED OUR HELP. Hospitals are taking drastic measures of recycling their masks and even pleading with the public to donate supplies to prevent the health-care system from becoming overwhelmed.
HOW YOU CAN HELP: For less than 50 cents (per 2ply mask) and less than $3.50 (per N95 mask), your donation will go towards the purchase of these masks and donated to Saint Joseph Mercy Health System where they will distribute the masks to Michigan hospitals desperate for the supplies.
"Many of our hospitals, particularly in southeast Michigan, are at or near capacity. Intensive-care units are full, and emergency departments are overloaded," chief medical executive Dr. Joneigh Khaldun said during a news conference Thursday morning. "The only way we're going to be able to effectively handle this outbreak is by coming together and coordinating our health-care resources as a state."
"The time is now to save lives," Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Director Robert Gordon said in a news release.
