It is terrible that we have to think about an active shooter at a school but, i think that many parents might feel better because of your products. Do you think the same response will be there now that they know that some teachers will have face shields so they can keep teaching our children . Yes. As a father of six, concerning force has been my own kids getting sick or possibly spreading a disease that can kill people. Coming back to school is a very important part of their life. It has been stressful for them being home. As we work on transitioning we want to make th the thousands o people that we work with across the country, people are excited to get back but they are nervous at the same time and that is easing this burden of coming back.

The relationship and the trust is there. They know that we can save lives and how quick we converted into a product that fits. And they can still see faces. One more thing i want to ask you, when it comes to the schools and being able to pay for it, is it expensive . And can all of the schools afforded . Sadly, all of the schools cannot afford it. It does not cost much but when some districts have 10,000 or 30,000 students it adds up. So people have been donating and buying these through our e to the schools. So it has eased the burden of it work . Is it going to be just face shields or is there Something Else that your company is helping to make . Hours has just been face shields.
