The way I see it, the *right* solution is to provide masks for people who aren’t getting clout and stable (for nurses) or enormous (for doctors) salaries to be there and take that risk, and who DO have a choice about being there

I do not believe it is responsible or feasible for someone living outside of a metro area to not wear an N-95 mask when they go out. Because no one else will and you WILL be infected

Are you talking about "going out" as in working at a high-risk workplace like a meatpacking plant because otherwise this seems like an exaggeration

I’m talking about going to the pharmacy or the gas station, basically. Where it’s not practically possible to maintain six feet distance.

If you go in and out and don't talk to anyone your risk is, in practical terms, a lot lower than that of anyone who works in a hospital

I’m saying that I don’t believe I should be expected to voluntarily increase the risk to me or my mother by any amount when my community is intentionally and overwhelmingly increasing the risk to everyone

What are you being asked to do voluntarily?

I guess she's talking about medical grade N95s not being avaliable for purchase on the open market

I don't know all the details of certifications for different markets but I don't think that's even true though? They're doing a Black Friday sale on N95s right now, they're just expensive https://clinicalsuppliesusa.com/collections/3m-8511 …

Yeah, you can buy them. I do (cheaper than that). My understanding was that I was to be viewed as a Traitor to Doctors and Nurses, The True Heroes, for doing that.

I'm fairly certain the people who came under fire for that were mostly the scalpers who tried to snipe bulk orders of them and sell them at a huge markup

If that’s true, then I guess we don’t have a disagreement. As someone pointed out, I *do* have my issues with medical professionals. I’m not saying any of this is my proudest moment, but I truly do fear my mother contracting COVID and I will do anything to stop it.

It very true. Many doctors were force to go through the black market. Many got scammed and still don’t have the proper amount. Many of the mask went to the wealthy
