Cloth masks

[LuvOrlando]

I had an EMG last week at a local hospital run facility and the person caring for me, literally on top of me was soooooo obviously sick and wearing a fabric mask with the hospital logo on it. She told me how the day before was her first day back after being hospitalized for the Flu and it's not the other thing, at any rate she was commanded in by the hospital and the facility plainly is not giving them better gear which is astonishing, where is the sense of responsibility? I could tell she felt bad, her words didn't make me feel much better about things though. I have never been more grateful I have some individually wrapped N95's for when I go into an office and stunned the hospital does not have these for staff - like that's their job and if I can get them they are gettable. Honestly if I didn't have that thing on my face I would have walked out since it was elective, not the facilities finest hour. I drove home with the windows open & scrubbed everything possible including the whole inside of the car - sheesh

These cloth things are better than nothing but really not great.

There is a lot of opinion, misinformation, “I heard” anecdotes, and misunderstanding of how masks work in this thread.

Please get your information from valid scientific sources such as the CDC and your local government, not from strangers on a message board.
