Wayne State University issued the following announcement on May22.
As the COVID-19 pandemic spread throughout Detroit, Wayne State University’s Chinese faculty knew what was coming.
With many of their friends and family having already gone through China’s coronavirus outbreak earlier this year, they understood the impending challenges medical professionals and first responders might face without adequate personal protection equipment (PPE) — and how serious the situation might be if they were affected.
“We felt it was our duty and everyone’s responsibility to protect these first responders,” said Wanqing Liu, associate professor of pharmaceutical sciences in the Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. “The Chinese faculty were motivated when we saw (WSU Vice President of Research) Dr. Stephen Lanier’s call in March for PPE donation, especially since we closely followed what has happened in China since the COVID-19 pandemic began.”
