As the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic sweeps the nation, there has been an urgency to distribute enough protective gear to hospitals and healthcare workers treating infected patients.
Face masks and gowns are among the most requested items by doctors and nurses that will allow them to properly care for patients without putting themselves at risk. While the situation has improved in some states, the need for this equipment is still crucial for most of the country.
A few notable companies in recent days have helped the cause, with the likes of Apple, Facebook and Tesla each donating hundreds of thousands of masks to various hospitals.
