HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED

Yesterday, the Surgeon General tweeted:
" 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."

 Really?  
Hospitals get their supplies straight from the distributors not Walmart or Home Depot! 

Besides, if masks aren't going to protect normal citizens, what good will they do the healthcare staff?

Surgical masks are worn by the infected to keep their germs to themselves.
  N95 masks protect you from the infected.
 It is a respiratory protective device designed to achieve a very close facial fit and very efficient filtration of airborne particles. 
The 'N95' designation means that when subjected to careful testing, the respirator blocks at least 95 percent of very small (0.3 micron) test particles.

 The ghost of Mark Twainwants me to let you knowthat the coronavirus is .1 micron.

But the coronavirus piggybacks on water dropletsspewed out by sneezes and coughs.
And those water droplets are .3 microns.

So N95 masks provide substantial protection.


Just thought you might like to know.
