I have been wearing this surgical mask for two days.

I'm on the third day of using my N95.

None of the nurses are wearing masks.

Not even surgical masks.

They've been delivering for years 10,000 to 20,000 masks.

OK How do we go from 10,000 masks to 300,000.

I'll tell you how as a health care worker

because we have a pandemic.

The richest country in the Western world in 2020

the strongest economy in the world.

This is actual real life in the hospital now.

They give you a paper bag. Paper

bag where I store a face shield and an N95 mask.

And I have to bring it to and from work everyday.

Do you think that that sounds safe? Clean it between patients.

Use it until it breaks. Unacceptable. Especially

because I am 16 weeks pregnant.

We're delivering millions and millions

of different products and all we do is hear that,

can you get some more? To say that we are not

using our masks correctly or that we're hoarding them.

So I don't think it's hoarding.

I think it's maybe worse than hoarding.

That's completely, completely preposterous.

Well, we're seeing hospital workers do is actually

going out and finding protective equipment

in whatever possible way we can.

When you are intubating a patient, particles

from the patient are released into the air

and it becomes increasingly dangerous for anybody that's

in the immediate vicinity.

Without this PPE we won't need the ventilators

because none of us will be around to run them.

We're at risk.

The patients are at risk.

Our families who we are going home

to, they're at risk. The grocery store clerks that I go

buy my groceries from.

They're at risk.

We need proper PPE and we need supplies of it today.

Not next week, not in two weeks nine a month.

We need it now.

I'm not going to give up no matter what.

I still love my job.

And I'm going to do everything in my power to save lives.

President Trump at some point, you're

going to face the end of your own life.

Think about how you should be treating

the people who are going to be taking care of you.

We shouldn't be losing talented health care workers

because of the lack of protective equipment

when people are just showing up, trying to do their job.

It's wrong.

We should all be ashamed

that it's happening.
