Environmental impact of trying to stem pandemic....

Tossed out PPE polluting waterways and drainage. Some people just have no respect. I was walking through park recently on way to shoot basketball by myself and what do you know trash everywhere. There was even discarded fast food bags on ground right next to trash cans or within yards of them. They weren't even rummaged through by racoons or anything. Basketball court lined with discarded water and Gatorade bottles... I would spend time and pick it up. However it will just be like that again in a week or two. Obviously my city needs to higher more park maintenance people. Fucking pathetic
Just think about all the gear, plastic sheets, etc that hospitals burn through treating all these patients. They are for most part being disposed of properly yet they will end up in a landfill. We need serious alternatives to plastic or at least biodegradable plastic. We are living in a plastic nation.
