PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Protective equipment and COVID-19

Nurses are on the frontline in the fight against the coronavirus and they're not adequately prepared. It's not due to a lack of nursing education, but rather a lack of institutional and governmental preparedness. The federal government is failing us.

Nurses are generally the closest to patients. There are 2.9 million registered nurses within the United States and 1.6 million of them work in hospitals. They generally work in a ratio of 1:4 to 1:1 nurses per patient. With 2.8 hospital beds per 1,000 people in the United States, health systems are on the trajectory to being overwhelmed. Increased hospitalizations will lead to the unavailability of hospital beds, depletion of personal protective equipment (PPE items like masks, goggles, gowns).

Nurses don’t have the supplies they need to stay in this fight. Failing to give them what they need threatens their health and that of the entire country.
