Frankly, that feels optimistic to me.

Q 3 and Q4 are complete Horse****... You can’t model based on an unclear depth and duration of this virus...

A lot of hospitals are changing roles of Clinicians and Doctors daily tying to figure out how to Staff, and prepare for this....

Not sure if you are serious, but you do know that N95 mask are useless?

Yes serious. Disagree about the uselessness.

This is obviously know to all at this point, but guns and ammo ... my god!

My uncle owns a pretty large gun store in Tulsa, OK. I talked to him today. They've sold out of ALL guns and ammo. ALL gone! He can't even order from his suppliers as of today. They're all out. Crazy.

He said there's been a line out the door.

If you expect your techs to go into informed or even suspected covid-19 infected areas you should expect to also pay them hazard pay....

Have you talked with them about if they are willing to even do it without extra pay?

Not sure why you think they wouldnt get extra pay for working in a place like that, but they would.

N95 mask will not prevent you from contracting anything, at best they will limit the amount of particulates, dust particles pollen, that you breathe in. They do not provide a tight fit around the face and they do not have adequate filtration properties. I used to use N95 mask in the body shop and found them totally inadequate for preventing inhalation of dust. I now use a full face respirator when I sand, grind or do anything that puts particles in the air. N95 mask are the equivalent of a doubled over bandana for filtering. Heck I think a doubled over wet bandana would be more effective.
