Look for the Helpers: Cummins of Neillsville
Monday, April 20th, 2020 -- 9:10 AM
-“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’”Those are the inspiring words to Mr. Rogers from his mother, so we’re going to try and find the helpers. Today, we look at a Cummins of Neillsville. (And thank you to the listener that emailed me this information.) Cummins and Dupont are working together to help address the current shortage of N95 masks in the United States and elsewhere around the world. As the COVID-19 pandemic spreads across the globe, Cummins and DuPont are helping address the nation’s shortage of N95 respirator masks. The need for the masks has skyrocketed in recent weeks due to the global pandemic, and Cummins will use its NanoNet® Media to help answer that need. The project also aims to provide open source instructions that other healthcare systems and groups can use to create their own respirator masks.
This may be a stressful situation for everyone, but we will get through this. Let's all work together and help each other along as we take the current situation day-by-day. And, if possible, make sure you continue to support our local businesses. They’re going to need our support now more than ever. If you know of someone who’s going above and beyond to help the community during this difficult time and would like them to be acknowledged for their work, please send me an email with details to [email protected].
