Hey everyone, I have been reading about how outbreaks are starting in some countries and they are struggling to handle the surge of cases in hospitals. I was reading that Russia is having a hard time with its hospital network and I was hopeful that we might be able to find a way to assist them during this time. Perhaps the military can help in setting up temporary hospitals to accommodate the overflow of patients. Additionally, they are having a hard time in testing cases and need alternate labs in order to quickly test and diagnose patients to combat the spread. Finally, it appears that the doctors and nurses are getting ill while trying to treat patients. I was hoping that we might be able to help by sending PPE, personnel and to assist them in setting up additional field hospitals and testing labs. New York is as well still seeing a lot of deaths attributed to the pandemic in addition to the United Kingdom. I am hoping that together we can help these and all cities and nations struggling with this virus and perhaps concentrate world resources on finding a vaccine quicker. I know ever nation is being hard hit by this virus and I know there are medical situations in every area but we need to help combat the virus surges globally if we want to stop this Pandemic. This is one of the greatest threats we have faced in recent memory and it will take all of us standing together as one world to save it. I know that we can, I believe in all of you, all of us. I know that we may have had differences in the past but now is the time to rise above those differences and build common ground together to defeat this microscopic foe. Together we are one, together we are stronger and together, we rise. Stay Safe, Stay Sanitized and Stay Supportive, John Ames Birch @johneames2
