Hi - quite the heart-warming story! Really well done. Below is a slightly different take on it.
But I have yet a different take - I am pitching a follow-up piece where you could do a lot of good.

In your story, there were a couple of shots that immediately caught my eye.
Shots which show that the IPC practices were based on the idea that CoVid is not airborne.
Surgical masks in the ambulance, and the wide shot showing roughly 6 feet of separation.
But #CoVidIsAirborne.

For airborne diseases, the minimum PPE are N95's.
Don't listen to me or the fact that Biden is getting N95's to all regular Americans.
Listen to the @WHO and @OSHA_DOL.

In your piece, you indicated volunteers are quitting because of age and being scared.
Absolutely.
And they should be scared.
Surgical masks do NOT sufficiently protect you from airborne.
Why are EMT's getting tore up from the floor up?
Absolutely.

Why are EMT's getting tore up from the floor up?
There are no standards for ventilation/filtration in ambulances.
To keep the ambulance warm? We all know they are turning on the recirculating air.
Even if they had excellent ventilation? Up close aerosols called near field

aerosols will be inhaled too quickly for the ventilation/ filtration to clean the air.
And those EMT's are spending longer and longer with the CoVid+ as the hospitals are slammed.
Some may protest - the CDC recommends N95's! Sure they do. But 👇

HCW's are people, too. They are subject to peer pressure - and that's where mandates help.
They immediately put peer pressure on everyone to do the required thing.
Rather than the hero thing (tough guys don't need N95's!) like HCW's are known for.
Does one size fit all?

No.
The CDC should mandate N95's for all HCW's minimum, in all areas of the hospital. It's airborne.
And they should mandate N100 elastomeric respirators for anyone who does CPR.

What are elastomeric respirators? See the RT below.
My DM's are open for any questions or follow-ups.
@PPEtoheros, Executive Director with the AMMA, has also urged the same type of approach.
Thank you again for the piece!

I have a huge account that follows me that I owe a H/T on this.
But my feed is just getting slaughtered, right now.
You know who you are - hit me up, and I will H/T you!

H/T to @davenewworld_2 for the lead-in tweet on this thread about high-schools student in surgical masks.
Not making this up...working as EMT's in ambulances which are horribly ventilated steel boxes in unregulated America.
