Speaking for my own company, we were caught flat-footed with lack of protective gear for our field personnel (who are still out there working by the way) with the inability to order it in bulk when this thing hit, as the priority on ordering was being given elsewhere. But we have over 5,000 face masks coming in later this week and over 20,000 pairs of nitril gloves by end of this month. Too little, too late. But we will be ready next time.
Yeah, this pandemic in the US is almost over. The number of new cases has started to decrease which is the harbinger of the end. At this point it's unlikely that any of your people will catch it as there's very few people left that still have it or are infectious.
