Doing your part to help

[Unobtanium-inc]

Doing our part, I went through our supplies at the shop and came up with a nice pile of N95 masks, faceshields, and gloves that we are donating to Rhinebeck Fire and Rescue. If anyone has any of this stuff, donate it now, re-stock when this is all over, the folks on the front line need it a lot more than me with my head in a rusty Porsche.

Deez can't afford to give away his masks and face shields, since he needs them for frequent buttsnorkling expeditions!

This smacks of begging for praise.

That's the entire point of that account. Self-promotion. Stick around, he will post a photo of him delivering the supplies in his 993. Then he will post the photo of the car with the tree growing out of it. Then he will post the trailer photo and the autocross 356 photo.

Actually good for him!!! He’s doing the right thing. I’m a OB/Gyn in Florida, the hospital has provided only one mask. This morning after a c-section they took my mask and are sterilizing it so I can reuse it tomorrow. My office is running out of supplies. I have resorted to paying outrageous prices on eBay for gloves and masks. Pregnant patients have to be seen. Deliveries have to be attended. Do you have any idea how stressful it is going to a hospital knowing that’s where Covid-19 patients are kept? I’m not worried about me, but I don’t want to bring it home to my wife and children. Plus, if I get sick, my employees are out of work. Who will care and deliver these patients?

Instead of criticizing him...... ask what are YOU doing to help?

You guys are some dark souls, I posted it to encourage others to do the same. I posted the same thing on Facebook and several people scoured their shops for similar supplies, getting them into the right hands.

You guys really need to figure out how to be part of the solution.

What exactly are you doing to help thy neighbor?

I’ve donated about 10 x P100 masks. A customer that’s an ER doctor asked me if I could get him replacement cartridges and that conversation led to me discovering there’s quite a few doctors that would like to have a P100 mask so I’ve gotten all that I can so far. I gave my wife that’s an ER trauma nurse a handful of E95s and a P100 as well. I’m in a unique position to source these. If others of you are as well please donate them. If I can keep just one of those doctors from getting sick it was all worth it

His only care in the world is to continually increase his Pelican post account. Computer trolls are social distancers by nature, so there’s not much to worry about for him, as there’s very little actual social interaction other than through their own keyboard.

Good for you for doing your part Adam. Trolls will just keep trolling, as he did to you just now, and as he will do to me after posting this as well.

I had some boxes of gloves that were in my shop and passed them out to my neighbors who are all older than me two weeks ago.Kudos to Adam.

[991gts6s]

I gave a case of N95 to my local Marijuana dispensary gals..
They didnt have any masks at all

[Matt Monson]

Well done Adam. 034 Motorsports in Fremont is doing the same thing and has a gofundme. They delivered over 30,000 masks to first responders this week.

Kartboy, who makes shifters, end links, and bushings, has 7 3D pointers running 24 hours making face shields for San Diego first responders.

Core Autosport is manufacturing masks and shields in their composite factory

My birthday was last Monday. I am running a gofundme for a mechanic friend who has it and is now too sick to work. I wasn’t going to post it here, but since there’s now a thread I’ll toss my link out there. He’s a shirt off his own back kind of guy and it pains me to see him suffer.

I invited a neighbor lady, Yamamoto san to come up and pick some Sh-take mushrooms because we have a lot with the recent rains. She gave us a 5kg bag of rice they grew with fresh mountain water AND a bag of blue plastic gloves to give my wife. Funny though, no one has Convid 19 in this city so I wonder if she even had that in her mind. I doubt it. Still, Yeah! Why not give what you can to your neighbor or even a stranger!! She came back a couple days later with more -- fresh basket of greens from her veggie patch and a slab of tofu that was old cured from her friends. I invited her to pick more mushrooms and gave her a 6 pack of beer someone else in the village gave me for use of my wood splitter, which I had no use for anyway (beer). Small village here, yet the world now is a village that needs local attention. Live to give! You can't keep it all, and you'll die before you even have it all.

1) SW is a dope
2) 991GTS6 is a cruel dope

Way to go Adam! Good for you.

[matt930s]

Kudos Adam! I have a few masks and gloves I use when diddling in the project.. I will gather them and do the same.

Good lord, imagine how depraved you have to be to dig up a reason to criticize others for helping. We're doomed as a society if this is how it's going to be.

Thanks to everyone who's helping. My wife and I are coming out of quarantine after getting the virus. It's been a *****ty couple of weeks, but we are extremely fortunate in so many ways.

The lack of testing kits and protective gear for health care workers is a monumental fail on our society's part. I've seen it first hand, and it's the saddest thing I've ever experienced.
