@IDSAInfo has also recommended either N95 or surgical mask.pic.twitter.com/zRPdmuzNM6
There are medical centers around the world (including the US) that have been routinely using surgical masks instead of N95s when in contact with COVID patients and I think that it’s worth trying to elucidate whether there truly is a significant difference in protection.
I agree. But I also think that raising these sorts of suspicions about the motives of hospitals potentially undermines confidence that HCWs have in their institutions and should be supported by factual information rather than stories of hearing fights.
You have a point I can delete that tweet because it is a suspicion—it's a reply but it can be quoted out of context— but I'm definitely hearing a lot of these tensions and having them resolve by the public health authorities with acknowledging *uncertainty* would be great.
