Masks Donated to NYC Doctors and Nurses

Global Security Intel is at it again. Donating masks to those in need. But how is it done? We realized if we donate masks to hospitals, we have no idea what happens to them and how they get distributed. So what we’re doing is giving these masks directly to hospital staff e.g. doctors and nurses.

We’ve answered the calls of hundreds of doctors and nurses who have asked for masks and we personally drove out to hand deliver. We don’t know what it’s like in those hospitals where supplies are low but what we do know is that these people are putting themselves on the line doing whatever they can everyday. As a thank you, the very least we can do is try to protect them by providing masks and making sure they do indeed receive them.

FDNY EMS Workers, Out Of Safety Equipment

To our greatest regret, we now have word that FDNY EMS workers are officially running out of masks. The protocol was, when an FDNY EMS worker is called, they are to wear a mask before and during the care of a patient. Now however, they are told to use these masks sparingly. Only using them once a patient begins to cough or sneeze. As many can imagine at that point a mask may be too late. But the city is running out and are mandating this new rule.

Once this came to our attention, action had to be taken. KN-95 masks have been donated to FDNY EMS workers. In hopes to keep our heroes safe, healthy, able to treat others, and come home with one less thing to worry about.

Mutual Efforts Give Light to Hope

On March 26, 2020 at 11pm GlobalSecurityIntel’s president, Ross Den donated 90 masks to the 61st precinct of NYPD. Just before that, at 9pm the GlobalSecurityIntel team was quickly working to separate masks into individual packages for all members of the 61st precinct.

However, Ross Den was not the only one that day who was fighting the battle of no supplies. Chaim Deutsch, Council Member for the 48th District of NY was also present, distributing hand sanitizers which was a gift from a local store: Amazing Savings.

Their mutual effort made a big change that day. It may have been a small gesture, hand sanitizers and masks on any normal day wouldn’t have been a big deal, but on this day it was a huge collaboration between Ross and Chaim to support NYPD officers and provide them with necessities that may save them from contacting the virus.

Covid-19 Breakout

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.
