I can confirm the "used PPE" thing from personal experience. My partner (a nurse at a VA hospital) was given a Tupperware container with holes poked in the lid as "overnight storage" for her N95 mask and was asked to reuse it for up to a month at a time. As far as I know this is still ongoing.
I know the cynical take is "you need to stop letting yourself be surprised / disappointed by this kind of thing" but we should be able to do better, especially in a federally run hospital in the USA.
My coworkers from mainland China were concerned about our well-being and started shipping us KN95 masks, even fairly early on in the pandemic. feelsbadman.jpg
