People are making their own masks. There is no shortage of DIY masks. They have always been able to do that but, medical people and government leaders waited months in the USA to tell them to do that. Other countries already proved that wearing masks all the time helped protect you.

Which medical centers are overwhelmed and which ones are operating normally.

The article mentions microwaves melting the masks.

Go ahead and downvote because facts make you angry.

World superpowers and associated people should not take tweets so seriously. People read too much meaning and emotion into throwaway comments.

Stakeholders don't care. You still have to get X amount of work down by Y date. You should take all the money you can get.

Would you trade a 40% raise for 2 days off?

The thing that startled me in the past was a woman screaming in a radio commercial. That was around Halloween though. I still had to look around and see if someone was in distress outside.

Maybe you can find an application for ML at your current employer. Gain some experience without starting from the bottom.
