It's easy to get depressed and angry.
But something started this morning which I hope is the start of a new trend and one I hope you all will join.
The Majority of the emails I am getting on Covid-19 started not to worry about how to prepare and business plans etc.
But rather how to Fight Back and Stop the Virus from Spreading.
As members of the healthcare supply chain we all have a unique opportunity to fight back and actually turn the tide of this Pandemic.
While I don't directly endorse any of these organizations I applaud their efforts and suggest we all start doing the same..
Share information, share products and inventory levels when possible.
Work together to get this information to the people that need it.
Government is on board as the US Govt has approved an Executive Order on Prioritizing and Allocating Health and Medical Resources to Respond to the Spread of Covid-19
The law gives the government more control during emergencies to direct industrial production. Specifically, the National Association of Manufacturers has been asked by the White House to seek volunteers who can donate and provide and/or produce within two weeks, large-scale quantities of critical supplies to help the nation respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
