Y’all there is one Malaysian factory that produces most of the world’s medical grade nitrile gloves and they had >20k workers sick with COVID and several large medical centers are going to run out of gloves by the weekend.
The US reserve stockpile of nitrile gloves is almost extinguished.
Restaurant grade could be a substitute for many indications but the raw materials are the same and the backlog is extensive.
Most of these workers live in dormitory conditions and work on top of each other so infection spreads like wildfire
Gloves are the ppe story of the fall
