The ones that Ernestina are making are going to an assisted living center. One of Ernies friends, Joanie, lived there up until her death. Jenn, Joanies daughter is friends with several of the elderly folks living there. The facility knew that Joanie used to sew and figured that her daughter may still be in contact with Joanies friends that sew. The email said that they need not be sterile as they will be getting washed prior to being used....and in a time like this they are willing to take whatever they can get to help with the residents.
Spokane County Raceway had an impromptu Open Road Course day today. I am still unable to carry my cameras but I stopped by so that I could measure the tops of the various walls where I will be placing cameras this year. Got to talking with the safety guy at the track. He said he had to jump many hurdles to get the county/CDC to allow today to happen....from taking everyones temperature multiple times to sanitizing the rest rooms hourly. He also needed to make sure that there was enough masks present. The track is a county park. The safety crew is actually county firefighters and EMT's. I mentioned the mask thing to him. He told me he stopped by the county facility where he gets the medical supplies for the track from....no gloves nor masks to be had. Person in charge of the inventory said that FEMA has snatched up as much PPE as they possibly could...and did not care that they were leaving the counties employees with nothing.
