NEW YORK, April 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As COVID-19
continues its spread around the country and the world, everyone is
looking for ways to stay safe, stay healthy, and contain the
pandemic as much as possible. At present, however, medical
professionals in states like New
York and California are
facing enormous pressure as confirmed cases spike and hospitals
flood with new patients on a daily basis.
That's why Autonomous Inc. has recently announced its effort to
help local hospitals combat the spread of this virus, by donating
1% of its revenue toward purchasing life-saving surgical masks.
These masks are then delivered to local hospitals in dire need of
supplies as the pandemic enters its peak phase. Autonomous Inc. has
already shipped more than 50,000 masks straight into the hands of
medical providers in the hardest-hit states including New York, California, and Texas.
"We've been extremely fortunate to see our business actually
grow during this time," says Duy
Huynh, founder of Autonomous. "We feel that it's our civic
duty to give back however we can, and support our local communities
that make it possible for us to do business."
Autonomous' success can largely be credited to their renewed
focus on customers who are looking for smart home office furniture,
as America's workforce transitions from crowded offices to the
safety of home for the foreseeable future. Many other private
organizations are following in our footsteps. "With great success
comes great responsibility" might well be the guiding mantra for
many businesses fortunate enough to be weathering the current
economic storm.
This week we've seen cases growing exponentially, and medical
experts warn that cases and hospitalizations are expected to
increase even more over the next few weeks. The government has
recently extended its social distancing guidelines by another 30
days in response to this growing threat. As the world's
manufacturers of medical supplies struggle to keep up with growing
international demand, the efforts of Autonomous and other private
organizations may prove to be instrumental in supporting hospitals
for the next few months.
Now, Autonomous Inc. calls for more help here:

donations to every hospital recommended, they have committed to
sending all supplies and donations directly to hospitals in dire
need. Expect continued updates on their website in the coming
weeks.
