Pornhub Donates 50,000 Masks to Healthcare Workers in New York City

(TMU) — Hospitals in the United States are reporting massive shortages of masks and other protective equipment as coronavirus cases and deaths continue to rise by the day. To help with the shortage, Pornhub has donated 50,000 surgical masks to healthcare workers in New York City, which has become the epicenter of the outbreak in the U.S.

According to the New York Post, the popular website has shipped 15,000 masks to paramedics in New York, 15,000 to firefighters in the city, and another 20,000 to Long Island’s Mount Sinai South Nassau hospital.

Mount Sinai South Nassau’s Senior Vice President Joe Calderone said that the masks will be a huge help to the hospital.

“These masks are mission critical in the fight against the COVID pandemic. They will help keep our nurses, physicians and support staff safe from infection while caring for those who are stricken with the disease,” Calderone said.

In Europe, the website is sending €50,000 ($54,050) to healthcare workers in Germany, Italy, and Spain so they can buy masks. They are also donating an additional $25,000 to the Sex Workers Outreach project, which is a pandemic-related relief fund for sex workers.

Pornhub is also offering its premium service for free to the entire world for the next 30 days as a way to encourage people to stay at home.

“With nearly one billion people in lockdown across the world because of the coronavirus pandemic, it’s important that we lend a hand and provide them with an enjoyable way to pass the time. We hope by expanding our offer of free Pornhub Premium worldwide, people have an extra incentive to stay home and flatten the curve,” Pornhub Vice President Corey said in a press statement.

Other companies in the U.S. like Tesla, Ford, and GM have also promised to make masks and ventilators as hospitals continue to run out. In some cases, healthcare workers in New York have resorted to wearing trash bags due to a lack of protective gear.
