If you have a stock of face masks at home and you do not work in healthcare, you have an obligation to bring them to the nearest hospital. Hospitals in my area are repurposing bras due to the shortage

Do not go to a hospital to give them face masks. Call them and ask how to get it to them. You’re putting yourself and others at risk by going there.

Most hospitals will not accept outside masks for sanitary reasons. Also nobody has an obligation, stop spreading fake news!

I tried to give some leftover face masks to hospital nurses I know and care about. They informed me politely that the off-the-shelf masks we have aren’t sufficient and not approved for their use working with suspected patients, so they’re of no use to their work 😔 They don’t filter aerosolized particles, so if someone coughs or sneezes the germs will still get through typical masks.

At least in CA, they are using masks like N95, although there is a shortage. And even then, each individual is supposed to be fitted to a specific model, based on face shape.

Nurses residing in my neighborhood working at various facilities in CA have been requesting for people to donate masks and gloves etc. Some really nice ladies in the neighborhood have been stitching cloth masks and making them ready for donations. So people who are thinking this is not a real problem should get some reality check.
Here’s one for you 😢

This is a local hospital. Yes they need them. If they are unopened you can donate.

We’re considering adding wearables tracking to pull in health metrics for a wellness app. Let’s say we plan on doing iOS only and one approach is only doing apple health integration, while another is to use a 3rd party aggregator like Validic or Humanapi to integrate once and get access to Fitbit, Oura, WearOS, and tons of other wearables. Which route would you suggest?

Just wanted to share this with people who would understand. Had 4 IEP meetings last week. When the case manager asked one mother if she had any concerns she said her only concern was that her kindergarten son with autism loved me so much she was afraid of him being promoted and being out of my room. I told her not to worry, in our program I will have him for 2 more years. Boy that made me feel good.
