Cuomo says they have 2,200 stockpiled but only enough to last another 6 days. They have 350 people a day needing a ventilator. And seems people need to be on a ventilator for around two weeks, sometimes more. It seems inevitable that NY is going t

Speaking of wood dust, just before this all happened I had purchased an RZ mask setup from Amazon for woodworking based upon online feedback. It claimed to be N95, but awaiting certification. It was deep in winter when I bought it, so no chance to us
