... hospitals short on N95. www.charlotteobserver.com/news/coronavirus/article241572131.html"Nichols is part of a network of seamstresses across the country who are communicating digitally to crowdsource PPE for health care workers. She said she is using guidelines from Deaconess Hospital in Evansville, Ind., to create her masks. So far, she has made 10 masks, which she will coordinate pickup for this weekend before starting her next batch. “It was a fairly straightforward pattern,” Nichols said. “The only complicated part is that it’s double-layered, but most of it is just straight stitching and corner stitching, so it’s fairly simple.”
"Other family members have been recruited into Nichols’ project, including her mother, Kim, and 12-year-old twin sisters, Tessa and Savannah. The family crafts together at the kitchen table in an assembly-line fashion between the girls’ online classes at Lincoln Charter School, which has implemented eLearning since last Thursday."

I'm reading so many of these stories in the news, people are working together, being there for each other. As bad as this is, something good is happening, we're remembering what the word "United" means. I hope it continues when life begins to return to normal.
