First Day of Spring, 2020

First Day of Spring, 2020

Adelaide Crapsey was born in Brooklyn, lived in Rochester. Her father was a heretic. One night, from her sickroom on the shore of Saranac Lake, Vermont, she saw the moon, wan and tender, over the crashing bulk of Niagara. Adelaide’s brain was lined with tuberculosis. 

Now we’re near Niagara. 7-11 workers got on in Buffalo. They came from a party. Bubble gum, plastic bags and cans of…

Stephen Black/About this PPE project

Problems:

Those who are creating plans for PPE often do not have the time to write about them clearly nor make them accessible on the internet.

Those who are looking for the latest and most reliable information to make PPEs may not find them easily.

Incorrect/dangerous practices and materials being used for PPE.

Inefficient use of time and resources, in a situation where every minute is crucial.
