in the morning, and the line that day happened to be three times longer than it was the day before, waiting to get a test or get into the emergency department. i was kind of scared. i had put myself out there in a way that is not something that i usually do. people need to know what is happening here. i applaud her, her bravery, for really taking us behind the scenes. [dr. smith] a lot of the calls from friends and families and colleagues were things like, "i didn't know it was this bad." and in my head, i was like, "i don't even give them videos that were that bad." it's so much worse than what i showed. [drew] many medical workers are fighting this battle without the thinnest level of protection. [dr. gupta] it was shocking for us, because this is a country, if anything, always had an abundance of resources. all of a sudden, we couldn't find ourselves a $0.50 mask to try and protect ourselves against the disease. [dr. smith] after the video came out, people just started donating their ppe. so, we kind of had this influx of help from the community until the state sent us more, and then fema gave us some. but the whole country was in a ppe shortage.
