Hospitals struggle with PPE shortages amid new COVID-19 surges
Months into the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals are still struggling to find enough PPE to protect their workers. With supplies still being grossly under-available, some hospitals have had to resort to reusing PPE multiples times in an effort to provide at least some protection for their staff. -

Can't get a test
My husband wants a COVID-19 test. We live in Maricopa County, AZ. I called Banner Health because while my husband doesn't have extreme flu symptoms, everything we've read indicates that COVID-19 shows milder symptoms in young/healthy people. He works at a bank, and it's hard to do social distancing when you work at a bank. Today, he called me from work and asked for a COVID-19 test because his chest hurts. I called Banner Health, but was told to call back at 7:00 AM tomorrow because there are no more tests available today. What good is social distancing if we can't even track the disease?
