Pandemic, or not, America's petrochemical industry is always on the job.
American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers provides the goods: "Flatten the curve. Those three words represent life or death for millions of Americans as efforts to stem the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic persist. There is much experts still don’t know about this contagion, but what is known for certain is that beyond social distancing, flattening the curve (represented by the number of COVID-19 cases) is contingent on the availability of personal protective equipment (PPE) and germ-fighting products essential to its containment. Right now, those critical supplies are depleted due to the scale of the crisis. Designated as critical infrastructure by the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. fuel and petrochemical manufacturers are uniquely suited to maintain supply chains that create everything from hand sanitizer and face masks to protective suits, and the fuels required to transport them. In recent weeks, these industries have proven integral to keeping critical products moving...Amid the threat of hurricanes and other disruptions in recent years, planning and simulation exercises have enabled fuel and petrochemical manufacturers to quickly establish crisis response management centers, determine minimum employee headcounts needed for safe operations and seamlessly share vital updates with government agencies."

"While it is hard to imagine that those with an ideological agenda will be swayed from their convictions, the public deserves better than politicians using the oil and gas industry as a scapegoat during a time when all industries across America are making sacrifices."
