Requests for personal protective equipment by county (N=6169) Each circle represents a county in which a health-care organisation submitted a request for PPE, sized by the number of organisations in the county submitting a request. If one organisation submitted multiple requests, only the most recent is included. The greatest density of requesting organisations per county is clustered in major metropolitan areas, although many counties outside of major cities do have requesting organizations.
