Covid-19 Breakout

2020 started with a worldwide unrest. With the immediate spread of the covid-19 virus – country after country came into contact with this awful virus. Every country is facing their own battle. Countries quarantined their people in hopes of stoping the spread from going further.

On March 13, 2020 President Trump declared a national emergency. People began practicing social distancing. Products on shelves began quickly disappearing as people began buying bulks of hand sanitizers, toilet paper, paper towels, canned foods, cereals, ect. Many stores are simply empty and out of stock. Looking at empty shelves and aisles in stores is something no American was prepared for. 

The city of New York became the epicenter of the virus within the United States. Many New Yorkers self-quarantined and the once thunderous streets of times square became a ghost town as people are are staying within the safety of their homes. All non-essential businesses closed down and many people are now out of a job. Schools and daycares are closed forcing kids to learn via online portals. Simply put, the way of life as we knew it was not the same and changes were in full affect. 

Unfortunately NY hospitals were unprepared for the pandemic that covid-19 turned into. There are currently not enough masks or ventilators in the hospitals. Doctors and nurses across the US are given one mask and told to wear it until it rips – a far from ideal situation. 

So how are we involved? Because you know we had to step in and help! 

GlobalSecurityIntel is giving out masks to hospital staff – doctors and nurses, EMT workers, FDNY, and NYPD in that order. These are people on the front lines who are exposed to the virus everyday due their jobs and their oath they took to save lives! 

We have been collecting donations and matching them to purchase as many masks as we can. Many professionals have reached out to us to get masks and we do our best to supply those on the front lines with free masks. These are our heroes.
