    More on masks: a careful study in a small number of patients (N=4) argues against the protection of cotton or surgical masks from #COVID19. We (#healthcare workforce) need N95 (not studied here) for #PPE https://annals.org/aim/fullarticle/2764367/effectiveness-surgical-cotton-masks-blocking-sars-cov-2-controlled-comparison … @AnnalsofIM #GetMePPE-N95pic.twitter.com/zIMHHTmQ2L

        Good study. Well written with succinct, humble conclusion and acknowledgements of limitations.

        We should not expect masks to protect from infection; we should expect masks to prevent spread-go look at a face shield we think does both: https://youtu.be/UJASwAcsSVs  This covers all five facial “holes” - two eyes, two nostrils, one mouth-an effective “airborne bug shield”

        CDC has had this up on their site for a long time... Despite what they say now - surgical masks, painter's masks, an old t-shirt, a bandanna are simply NOT enough to protect our HCWs. https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/pdfs/UnderstandDifferenceInfographic-508.pdf …pic.twitter.com/cYaIxJoG2S

        I think this works at best as a kinda proof of concept study. More patients, detection of virus in other parts of the room, and prolongued use of masks for each patients are some thinigs that come to mind. PPE is very scarce,we should make sure surgical masks are that defficient.

        Finding three negative swabs on from the inner surface of the masks seems very strange.

        The testing is inaccurate, unfortunately. As shown in other studies on SARS-CoV2. In the disgraced Raoult study, the poor bugger that died during it tested negative the day prior.

        For those of us who have worked in a BSL3 laboratory, for working with airborne pathogens, we can tell you only N95/N100 Respirators work, if properly used for the duration of exposure. Research Laboratory workers know this, I guess they dont teach this at medical school.

        By the way, the world wasnt waiting around for COVID-19 to figure that out, there are lots of papers that have similar results for medical workers occupational use, in much larger cohortshttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5705692/ …
