"As a brand based in the Pacific Northwest, we’ve seen first-hand how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our neighbors here in Washington state and the greater Seattle area.
To aid in the efforts, Eddie Bauer is temporarily shifting portions of its production capacity to make N95 and surgical masks to help meet the high demand for personal protective equipment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of our vendor partners have also donated masks to aid in the US effort to fight the virus.
Eddie Bauer will donate the masks directly to the State of Washington, to ensure they are distributed to the counties and facilities with the greatest need, based on the guidelines provided by the Washington State Department of Health.
We are inspired by those across the country making sacrifices small and large to help their neighbors and we hope to encourage others, who are able do so, to also join the cause".

"In Maine, James Morin, COO of Flowfold, expressed a similar sentiment. "This is what makes America resilient. When we need to come together for the good of everyone, we do." Flowfold, a producer of travel and lifestyle gear, has pivoted its entire business to focus on one product for the immediate future: face shields for hospital workers. "This is a complete transition. We’ve effectively had to create a brand-new business in eight days. Any orders that customers had placed before this started will still be shipped, of course. But as of now, we’re only making one product," Morin said."

Coincidentally, that pool company I have to stop at in your neck of the woods is doing the same.

That's interesting. I carry a few professional licenses, although I am not currently practicing in any capacity, interestingly enough I have not received one alert and they all have my current contact into. In the first week of March when I was talking with my internist friend who mentioned that the LA Co public health had not communicated in over 2 weeks on this and crickets from the CDC.
Gov Newsome just put this out there for medical professionals: https://healthcorps.ca.gov
The site is down at the moment though, it is asking for more medical professionals whether they are students or retired.

I jumped across a ravine when I was a young teenager and didn't quite make it. To this day I have an indentation in my shin bone. But I cleaned it with creek water and pulled my sock over it to curb the bleeding. I think pretty soon that's going to be a qualifying event to volunteer unfortunately.

Lol. I didn't get a pic of the doc, she was scrumptious. Yeah, I'm alone. Can you imagine living with this personality? It is interesting for me to see people's reaction to living this way, as this has been my reality of choice for the last 15 years or so. But even I need human contact at least bimonthly, but video calls are an acceptable substitute for a while. The thing I really miss is going out on my solo urban adventures on my bike, but I'm not well enough to do that, anyway. I can do another month of this, I appreciate simple things in a new way. Like breathing easily. I always took that for granted...
Could totally imagine it, I'm used to living with whatever the female equivalent of a horndog is. I'm glad this is your choice. I've been reading a lot about people who have nobody and are suffering mental health problems with no support. I was alone for close to a month last year when my partner was visiting family in Poland. The isolation and all the odd sounds the house made at night almost drove me mad. Once you're feeling a healthier can you take your ebike out for a tour? I guess technically you have to self isolate for 14 days first.

Hornbitch? Most people don't do well by themselves, I think I was born missing that social gene. Plus, I never claimed mental health. The possible lack of it just doesn't bother me. I plan to stay in until May as not to spread this thing. I bought a cool stationary bike, but I'm not feeling well enough yet to even take it out and assemble it. I'll be fine riding that for a month until I can get on the real thing. Same philosophy I have toward my sex toys ;)
