You realize a surgical mask will not really help don’t you?
I might help around the margins. I never said it was fool proof. Better than nothing.
BTW, a Chinese woman came to work in an office in New York today wearing a surgical mask. She sits at the desk next to me.
Yesterday, I saw a Chinese man walking down Seventh Avenue around 30th Street wearing a mask.
As far as I can tell, it appears all the drug stores in New York City have been stripped of surgical masks.
