      I honestly think we need a nationwide public education campaign to help people understand why they should stop buying masks to wear to run errands. You’re not helping anyone, including yourself, by doing that, & you’re contributing to a critical shortage among healthcare workers.

      Yes that thread is all wrong unfortunately. The shortage is very real and that’s a major crisis. We would be in a much better place if we had enough masks and everybody wore one. That’s the practice in every country that has this under control and it is backed by science.

          I read https://www.researchgate.net/publication/258525804_Testing_the_Efficacy_of_Homemade_Masks_Would_They_Protect_in_an_Influenza_Pandemic … that even crappy homemade masks get you about a factor of two, and there's certainly the risk of asymptomatic spread (I know fam of 4 just out of quarantine -- only 1 had symptoms) which they also reduce. But is also /

          necessary to reduce all risks -- if it's 50-50 hands and face and you get an N95 mask but don't glove and wash, all the hand risk remains -- 50%. Whack all the moles.

          Clearly med personnel need masks more than others. It has has a better cost/benefit ratio for that group. If we had enough masks for all, CDC would most probably recommend them and do an info campaign on how to use them properly.

          So what Caroline Orr @RVAwonk is saying is a crock.
