The reply, to Surgeon General, are my thoughts, exactly....

Seriously people- STOP BUYING MASKS!

They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!

All due respect but: this statement makes no sense. Either masks ARE effective or they are not. They won’t work for the public but DO for health care workers? Sorry but I was told that the masks are more for “the other guy” than protecting the person with the mask! Which is it? https://t.co/8OzHLvhsY9— Graham Ledger (@GrahamLedger) March 1, 2020

Gonna be funny if they try to enforce mask only situations later.

I got the last ones at my CVS weeks ago. And my wife wears them. So, tell the SG to get his own. He should have been paying attention.

Dr. Doom and Bloom explains the masks this way—surgical mask for the patient to prevent his droplets from spreading.

N95-100 for person caring for the patient to further protect the caregiver. Also disposable coverings, goggles, face shield, gloves and shoe coverings. A cotton ball with a little tea tree oil for the ears.

Plastic to cover the doorway, and to build an entry way so that gear can be taken off before entering the rest of the home-ie a sick room for the patient with it’s own bathroom.

Hazardous waste bags for the masks, and disposable gloves etc. also in the room. Clear the room of all unnecessary stuff so that it surfaces can be cleaned and disinfected daily.

That’s about all I remember from their hand book.
