from the Langone Medical Center at NYU. While earnest, well-meaning people were repeating idiocies about masks, the doctors at NYU always told the truth about masks, even the part the media doesn't say out loud about N95s -- that when used correctly they protect the wearer from this virus most of the time, even if it's aerosolized. You have to wash your hands before and after putting it on and removing it, and you fit it correctly and don't touch your face.

Oh I agree, but the lug heads out there think that medical people were them to protect themselves, LiberalArkie May 2020 #13

Droplets, droplets, droplets. Buckeye_Democrat May 2020 #11

I don't get why they say they don't protect the wearer. cwydro May 2020 #14

Yes. The higher the filtration, the more it protects the wearer, denem May 2020 #15
