Companies are investing in sanitizing PPE, saving businesses and possibly reducing medical waste.

During the coronavirus crisis, the CDC and FDA are allowing the sanitation and reuse of PPE.

Reports of shortages of personal protective equipment have tormented coronavirus response teams throughout the outbreak. "If I can sanitize it and it still fits and performs the same form, fit and function, why not reuse it," said Michael Ingle, CEO and founder of the mattress cleaning company Clean Sleep. "We pushed to start sanitizing masks, and we're doing that now. So we were able to keep operations going and keep our employees, and, you know, expand the opportunity. Plus, we're also serving a good cause.

"When the FDA authorizes the use of the system, then they also make available the specific instructions," said Nicole McCullough, global occupational health and safety leader at 3M. "So you can imagine it's not just any UV light. You couldn't put them in a tanning bed or something. It has to be a certain light and the respirators have to be placed in there, a certain way to make sure all the surfaces receive the light.

When Stupidity leads, the Stupid follow. Trump has proven his Stupidity.

45 doesn’t even care, didn’t listen and now the virus is really on fire

Why there is shortage ? Many production units in USA catering the demands for now as it was not the case 2 months ago.

Only medical person I heard talk about masks said you need to constantly sterilize, otherwise you are keeping a virus sponge in front of your face

I never wash it, like my underwear

Not advising the general public to use N95 respirators? As soon as y'all can get this country into face masks period, any face mask, then I'll stop using 3-M N95's. I'll keep using my N95's from my personal supply. I have a daughter w/ an immune def. Disgusting. Disgraceful.

I love for the internet readers they had to say the FDA (was the food and drug administration), these alleged journalist think the readers are dopes.

Are we seriously back to a shortage of protective gears?

Meanwhile Canada is nearly self-sufficient in PPE. Why can't Americans get their act together? Oh yeah, the orange moron in the Oval Office.

Nothing is normal these days - I do not care about Covid-19 and death doesn’t matter - I don´t tell the truth doesn’t matter - I am with a girl 23 years younger than me doesn´t matter - I drink and take any medication doesn’t matter - I am not having a mask...
