That is bad news as she, and others in similar circumstances, will be more likely to get the disease as exhaustion will cause their safety measures to slip.

That is because, unlike us mere humans, they are suffering from ADS*.
In their defense I must admit they have one of the worlds worst jobs - having to smile and be polite to (insert here the name(s) of your least favourite politician/dictator/creep/a**hole/ scumbag)

And here they are bragging they just bought in a 747 load of PPE from China. Probably the same plane load that Italy, Spain, etc, etc, etc sent back because they were no @#$%^&* use.
If it flares up again in China no one will get any PPE out of China, the global experiment may be about to take a tragic nose dive, with national interest over ruling every sentiment, deal and agreement.
That kind of behavior is running rampant here in Missouri. So many people still think it's a hoax.
Whereas here, he'd find himself under guard, pending a court appearance (likely via video) and then spending some quality alone time in jail. They've already jailed one guy who was coughing over people and didn't have the virus.

Probably the left-overs from the PPE that was bought a few months ago by China.

US companies shipped millions in PPE to China in January, about the time the US government said there was not going to be a problem here.

*Test kits are still in short supply, however, at the current time test kit processing is limited more by lack of materials (primarily reagents). Tests are currently being used primarily for suspected COVID-19 cases and first responder/healthcare/medical personnel.

Which means that they were ordered probably 3 months prior to that.

Possibly. It's Covid-19 because the disease caused by the virus was first reported in 2019. Unlike what some people seem to think, it wasn't a sequence number.

-Oil prices continued to collapse Tuesday, in turn driving stock markets lower. As of 11 a.m. EST, the S&P 500 was down 2.7%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 538 points, or 2.3%, to 23,104, and the Nasdaq was down 3.4%. A barrel of U.S. oil to be delivered in May was at $3.81, after falling to negative $37.63 on Monday. A barrel of U.S. oil for delivery in June dropped $5.48, or 27%, to $14.94. Brent crude, the international oil standard, fell nearly 22% to $20.05 per barrel.
-The U.S. will need to be able to perform millions of coronavirus tests each week before the country can reopen, two new reports say. A plan from the Rockefeller Foundation said the U.S. should expand testing capacity to 3 million tests per week within the next two months and 30 million tests per week over the next six months. A proposal by Harvard University's Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics said the country will need to deliver at least 5 million tests per day by early June to begin reopening. It says as many as 20 million tests per day would be needed to fully remobilize the economy, ideally by late July. So far, the U.S. has performed only about 4 million coronavirus tests, according to CNN, and governors have reported continued shortages of the materials needed to run tests, from chemical reagents to swabs.
-The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has authorized a COVID-19 diagnostic test that allows a person to collect samples with the included nasal swabs at home and send them to a laboratory for testing using LabCorp's Pixel by LabCorp COVID-19 Test home collection kit. LabCorp intends to make the kits available to consumers in most states, with a doctor's order, in the coming weeks, the FDA said in a news release.
-States are moving ahead with reopening plans. On Monday, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said fitness centers, bowling alleys, body art studios, barbers, hair and nail salons and massage therapy businesses can reopen as early Friday. Theaters and restaurants will be allowed to open on Monday.
-The mayors of Atlanta and Augusta and other Georgia cities pushed back against Gov. Kemp's decision to allow more businesses to reopen and say they were caught off guard by his announcement. Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottom told ABC News, "I will continue to use my voice as mayor of Atlanta to ask people to continue to stay home, follow the science and exercise common sense." Hardie Davis Jr., mayor of Augusta, told CNN, "We are at a place where we're putting folks in harm's way as opposed to taking these grave measures to continue to flatten the curve." Savannah Mayor Van Johnson told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Kemp's move is "reckless, it's premature and it's dangerous." Mayor Bo Dorough of Albany, the epicenter of one of Georgia's biggest outbreaks, called the rollback dangerous.
-South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster said Monday that department stores and other retail businesses deemed "nonessential," such as sporting goods stores, book, music, shoe and craft stores, jewelry stores, floral shops and other luggage and leather goods stores, can reopen this week.
-Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee announced his statewide stay-at-home order will expire April 30, and most businesses in 89 counties will be allowed to reopen May 1.

We're having the first huge drop in IC occupation. Seems like we're heading there right way.
At least somebody is...
We're probably also heading the same way here in Croatia - about 20-25 newly tested positive average for the last 3-4 days.Yesterday there were no deaths, and just 10 new positives.
