SAN DIEGO−As the pandemic creates shortages of supplies that doctors and nurses need, we need to repurpose things that could substitute for what we lack.
Burkas: Trump has been trying to make peace with the Taliban. The solution is the US withdraws its troops from Afghanistan for Taliban manufactured burkas, the ultimate in personal protection equipment.
Ninja Hoodies: Although they don’t cover as much of the body as burkas, Ninja Hoodies can protect you in your fight against the coronavirus as well as against villains.
Bubble Soccer Outfits: Now you can enjoy contact sports again and still maintain six feet of separation from 
others who are playing.
RVs: There are 9,000,000 RVs in the United States. Refit them with intensive care units equipped with ventilators. Perfect for underserved rural areas and patients who want to travel!
