The desperation on here is confusing from the same people who think tOSU should win every NC in football. If this was September people would be jumping off the top of the “shoe”,

I don't even know what this means. Desperation? What are we desperate for? Maybe for the masses to heed the warnings of medical professionals. Sure, I'll give you that. I just don't see how you can begin to even find a parallel to football from this (very) real world mess.

My wife works at an Urgent Care clinic here in southern Arizona. She sits at the reception counter where she screens all the sick people that come in and breathe, cough, sneeze, etc. on her. She started using a mask (the cheap pollen type) couple months ago. However, her employer just now start "fitting" the staff with the N95 mask, but she cannot get a proper seal on any of them she was provided. She is worried that if she doesn't go out and buy one online for a couple hundred dollars out of her pocket (if she can even find one), that her employer will terminate her job. I feel it is the responsibility of that clinic to provide a safe working environment, and If she becomes infected it's only a matter of time before she brings it home to me and my daughter. She is freaked out and I am a little uneasy about this as well. We just had the first confirmed case on the Army base here yesterday, and us Army civilians have been teleworking from home since Tuesday of this week. Crazy shit.

Sue them if you have to.

How come she cannot get a seal?

I'm not sure, she came home from work yesterday and said they put the masks on them then sprayed some stuff to see if they could still smell it. She smelled it every time, not sure how scientific the test is but it is what it is. But she was the only one that could still smell it. Some type of bitter test kit apparently.
