some real footage here.
Situation is very dire now.
They are building massive temporary cargo hospital now. It is supposed to be a temporary hospital, but it`s more likely a mass grave if situation got worse.
First line medical workers are only getting 1 x mask a day without fully protective gears.
Masks are useless except for trying to control some of the outbound shedding of virus from affected people, they don't filter what you breath in - if you're traveling to the area and are concerned about exposure, I would suggest investing in a few 3M N100 masks (sold on Amazon, or you might find something similar at Home Depot or a pharmacy) which will filter 100% of the air that you're breathing in - of course you still need to avoid touching your eyes, nose, etc with unwashed hands.
