This is a great way to show people how to properly use PPE, because if it’s not used properly, it has no effect. Thank you, great job!

Glad you demonstrated that. May I please ask about a doctor in a hospital, talked about taking the gloves on, inside the sleeves?

When putting PPE you should avoid touching mask as the way she was doing and touching the gown. By the way I did not see her washing her hands or applying the hand sanitizer FIRST.

How long have you been able to wear this without sweating and feeling like you cant wear it any longer?

What about Booties? Many hospital employees wear their own shoes. Therefore, they 'do need' to be covered.
